Key Features

• EXPANSIVE CAMPAIGN: Many real-world locations have been captured using photogrammetry to recreate a living, immersive environment. Multiple infiltration and extraction points and kill list targets provide a whole new perspective on each mission. You can take on the Nazi plot solo or work with a partner, with improved co-op mechanics allowing you to share ammo and items, give orders, and heal each other.
• ADVANCED GUNPLAY PHYSICS AND TRAVERSAL: Use ziplines, slide down slopes, and shimmy along ledges to reach the perfect vantage point or sneak past a sharp-eyed lookout. Factor in rifle stock and barrel options along with gravity, wind, and heart rate while you line up your sights on the target.
• HIGH CALIBRE CUSTOMISATION: Use workbenches to customise and upgrade virtually every aspect of your weapon. Change scopes, stocks, barrels, magazines, and more. Rifles, secondaries, and pistols all have a huge variety of options. You can also select the ammo to suit your target, from armour-piercing right down to non-lethal.
• INVASION MODE – CAMPAIGN DROP IN PvP AND CO-OP: Invade another player’s Campaign as an Axis sniper and engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse, providing a new dimension to the challenge as you stalk your prey. Alternatively, as Karl, you can call for assistance and have a second sniper drop in to help you out of a tricky situation.
