Regardless of how complex you make it, letting out your breath slows time and produces a big red box that shows you where your bullet will hit, so it’s still not hard to nail someone in the eye. You can remove ballistics altogether-bullets always go where the crosshairs meet-or include gravity and wind in the equation. It’s really satisfying to walk up to a big AA gun and plant a bomb on it completely uncontested, because earlier I wiped out half the sentries from a ledge.ĭepending on your settings, sniping is as simple or difficult as you want it to be. I don’t care who hears me, I’ll declare by firing my extremely loud rifle at someone’s head, and as long as I have a good position and a few bandages I can snipe at an objective until it’s empty. One tactic I’m fond of is to take a shot to make some noise, then circle around the alerted soldiers and embarrass them, shooting the backs of their heads while they look the wrong way. You could hypothetically ghost every level-the game is a completionist’s dream-but I’ve found more joy in a mixed approach, sneaking up on some, luring out others, getting into big firefights here and there, and ultimately wiping the map clean of fascism. I’m more interested in being a menace than being silent and precise, anyway. Sniper Elite 4 would rather you pick up and relocate often, though it does give you more opportunities to snipe quietly than Sniper Elite 3 did thanks to small supplies of ‘suppressed ammo’ you can carry.

I enjoy camping, but waiting for noise takes a lot of patience. I once plopped down in a bush and spent 20 minutes killing soldiers on a bridge, using the explosions from a railway gun to mask my shots. If you wait for sound cover-planes overhead, artillery fire, or malfunctioning generators-you can ghost snipe.
