Sniper Elite 5
Hints and Tips:
---------------
Submitted by: David K.
Large sandbox maps in Normandy with climbing, workbench weapon mods, skill trees,
and optional Axis Invasion PvP.
First campaign run: consider disabling Axis Invasion until you know the maps -
human Jaegers ignore objectives and can buff nearby AI. Re-enable later for the
cat-and-mouse layer.
Stealth basics: binoculars first to tag patrols and vantage points; silenced
pistol for close kills; prone for stable long shots; mask rifle fire with
generators, planes, and other loud ambience. Disable alarms before clearing
compounds. Use bottles, whistles, and traps to pull guards one at a time. Manual-
save before kill-list targets and invasion fights.
Pre-mission loadout: three hidden workbenches per level (rifle, SMG, pistol)
unlock attachments - suppressors and stability mods matter more than raw rifle
DPS early. Bring medkits, bandages, mines, and a silenced sidearm every mission.
Early skill picks (Body/Combat/Equipment): Health Boost I+II, Cardio, Deep
Breath, Back in the Fight (self-revive with medkit), Steady Hand, Extra Item Slot
I, Carry More Traps. Separate skill loadouts exist for campaign, survival, and
invasion.
Ballistics: on Authentic, match scope distance setting to binocular range; watch
where bullets land and adjust. Wind marker is minor in SE5 compared to older
entries. Empty Lung / focus slows time for distant shots - go prone first.
When spotted, break line of sight and relocate - searchers reset if you stay
hidden. Clear one section of the map at a time instead of sprinting objectives.
Survival mode: four command posts on the map; enemies rush active points each
wave. Use ~25 seconds prep between waves to mine lanes and resupply. Kill
spotters (star icon) and snipers first; note vehicle spawn routes for later
waves.
How to make money (credits):
----------------------------
* No shop currency - progression is XP, skill points, and weapon unlocks
* Kill-list challenges unlock guns for your armory (see Reference)
* Workbench collectibles and stone eagles feed completion rewards
* Axis Invasion wins grant invasion currency for Jaeger loadouts (online)
Secrets:
--------
* K98 early unlock workaround: Mission 2 on Civilian - pacify Kummler, carry him
under the ballroom chandelier, drop it (full steps in Solutions)
* Satchel Charges unlock requires finishing all nine campaign missions on Hard
difficulty (not Medium); use Borderless fullscreen if alt-tab caused missed
unlock credit (see Solutions)
* Allied Focus Mode (L-ALT): Jaeger direction on compass; outline through walls
when close
* Scope glint gives away your position - scout with binoculars; some scopes are
glint- free
* Karl's mission dialogue can be heard by nearby invading Jaegers - hunt invader
first
Solutions:
----------
-= Allied sniper vs Axis Invasion =-
1. Focus Mode (L-ALT): flashing compass direction until Jaeger outline appears
2. Binoculars before rifle at range - scope glint warns human snipers
3. Never use Invasion Phones if the Jaeger may be near; phone intel expires in
~30s
4. Camping penalty reveals your area - relocate and ambush the search
5. Crouch in tall grass is visible to players; prone in grass is much safer
6. Jaeger-tagged NPCs report your minimap triangle - ambush them at the ping
7. Avoid towers; pick dark cover with vegetation behind you, not skyline
silhouettes
-= Kill-list challenges =-
Save before each target. Open map > Objectives > red Kill List icon for the
challenge text.
Mission 1 - Steffen Beckendorf: kill with any explosion (grenade when his car
stops). Mission 2 - Friedrich Kummler: drop the ballroom chandelier (shoot hooks
or use controls). Bug note: if Kummler will not move, whistle or throw a bottle;
if the weapon does not unlock, shoot the chandeliers down manually. Mission 3 -
Fabien Richter: melee stealth takedown only; avoid alert chains - reload if the
objective bugs. Mission 4 - Matthaus Ehrlich: place rat bomb, lure him to shoot
it (stay undetected). Mission 5 - Lanzo Baumann: weaken beam, run cement mixer,
knock out and dump body in mix. Mission 6 - Jaan Trautman: poison the cup in his
mansion, ring bell, hide. Mission 7 - Christian Jungers: drop the V2 hook when he
stands under the rocket.
-= Mission 8 - Shinji Yoshikawa =-
kill with Type 100 or Type 14 (pistol in town hall chest).
-= K98 chandelier unlock (Mission 2) =-
1. Set Mission 2 difficulty to Civilian for convenience
2. Identify Kummler, disable the alarm, and clear the chateau
3. Pacify him (do not kill), carry him under the ballroom chandelier, then drop
it
-= Satchel Charges unlock =-
1. Beat all nine campaign missions on Hard difficulty (Medium alone did not grant
the unlock in community tests; DLC completion did not substitute)
2. If unlock credit failed before, switch from Exclusive Fullscreen to Borderless
before replaying - alt-tab GPU errors on Medium runs were linked to missed
credit
-= Survival defense =-
Defend one command post at a time; enemies abandon cover to capture it - use that
as a trap funnel. Between waves: mine doorways, stairs, and known pathing; pre-
plant next- wave explosives before the counter hits zero.
Priority targets: spotters (star marker) call artillery - snipe immediately.
Snipers on rooftops before they pin you. MG42 Jaegers hose your position; kill
early for a 100-round MG pickup. Panzerfaust troops telegraph with a high whine -
headshot the operator. Flare-gun soldiers are among the deadliest grunts.
Immobilize trucks with teller mines or AP rounds to the wheels, then finish weak
points.
Scoring tips: long-range headshots and consecutive unassisted rifle kills pay
best; trap multi-kills help; avoid camping inside the CP building. Stay mobile
once spotted; loot officers and Jaegers in the lull. Use empty-lung/focus sense
on Hard or below to track flankers through walls while holding a lane.
