Sniper Elite 5 Cheats, Tips Strategy

Below is a collection of hints and tips that will help you to progress in the game. These include why you should explore the environment and why you should hide the bodies of the soldiers you kill. As well as these hints and tips, we also have a beginners guide here which goes into more details on some of the tips we have below:

Play Sharpshooter Difficulty

It is recommended that you begin playing Sniper Elite 5 on the Sharpshooter difficulty setting, so you get a feel of what the game has to offer. If you play any setting below this the game will be too easy and likewise anything above may be too challenging if you are not familiar with the mechanics of the game.

Save Often

Keep in mind that when you play Sniper Elite 5 on the lower difficulty settings you are given the option to save your progress whenever you like. Make sure you take advantage of this feature by getting into the habit of saving often so that you are able to quickly go back and do things differently if something goes wrong.

Practice your Shots

Resist the temptation to get more accurate sniper shots by turning off gravity and wind and instead practice your shots with these settings on. Doing this will not only add to the immersion, it will also give you a sense of accomplishment when you land the perfect shot.

Explore the Environment

There are no fixed paths to follow to complete missions in Elite Sniper 5, it is therefore recommended that you take your time and explore the maps carefully. Find a spot on high ground and use your binoculars to study the surrounding environment. Doing this will enable you to learn enemy paths, so you can plan your next attack.

Use your Binoculars

Resist the temptation of diving straight into the action when you begin Sniper Elite 5. It is more beneficial before you engage in combat with the enemies that you check out the map and scout the area with your binoculars, so you are able to see what you have to deal with and plan out your moves. Using the binoculars will not only allow you to tag enemies, they can also be used to learn enemy patterns and patrols.

Hide Bodies

Make sure you hide the bodies of the enemies you kill whenever possible, so they cannot be found by enemy soldiers out on patrol. It is crucial that you avoid the enemy raising the alarm as this will result in troops flooding into the area looking for you which will make your progress a lot more difficult.
