Sniper Elite V2 Remastered news & patch notes

New operative. New threat. New campaign.

Heed the call back to the battlefield soldier. You may have vanquished many a foe on the French coastline, but your mission there will continue in Sniper Elite: Resistance. Watch the Sniper Elite: Resistance Reveal Trailer: You will now take on the role of Harry Hawker, an agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE). Intel has revealed powerful and deadly weapons known to the Axis as the Wunderwaffe. An arsenal of this magnitude could surely turn the tide of the war in their favour. Your elite skills will be required to seek out key Axis targets and work together with the French Resistance to destroy the Wunderwaffe once and for all! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41627993/4d8a755da3d453c1a810fb4484fab40eec7a7cea.jpg

Weapons of warfare.

Reacquaint yourself with an armoury packed to the rafters with authentic World War II weapons. As well as some familar guns in your inventory, expect some new pieces that will aid in your missions success. Once reunited with your ideal loadout, make sure to head to one of the workbenches scattered around the campaign map in order to customise your rifles, secondaries and pistols to your specification. The visceral X-ray kill cam and advanced gunplay physics returns, demonstrating the unmatched destructive power of every one of your signature shots. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41627993/9c2e1f1c6bf35c8989e6fe5e1c1b922b036e631e.jpg

Become the Resistance.

Propaganda Missions are a brand-new style of side mission to the series. Throughout the campaign discover unique propaganda posters that will allow you to step into the shoes of a French Resistance fighter. With time sensitive objectives, players must sneak, snipe and shoot, taking down enemies under certain conditions to complete their mission. Will you be up to the task?

Axis Invasion.

Axis Invasion returns to Sniper Elite: Resistance with more campaign halting escapades. Watch as your opponent scours the map in fear of your presence. Strike when they least expect, utilising your weapons and equipment to full effect. Their campaign success is in your hands, so whether you go all guns blazing or adopt a more stealth approach, only one will be determined the victor. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41627993/d621bcae163cf43bc6d758f7b1f53cd69e423562.jpg

All for one and one for all!

Call upon your squad and head onto the battlefield read for combat with Multiplayer. Whether you prefer the chaos of Deathmatch or No-Cross or the wave based tactics of Survival, there is plenty of scope based carnage to be had. Compete with up to 16 players and battle it out until a champion is crowned. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2169200/Sniper_Elite_Resistance Stay up to date with all things Sniper Elite via our social channels on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
