Snipers,

Intel received from HQ has confirmed the launch of Sniper Elite 5: Complete Edition, which brings together Sniper Elite 5 and all the game’s DLC for the first time. The Complete Edition includes all the content from Season Pass One and Two, offering four DLC missions and a host of weapons and character skins for players to explore.

In addition to the full original Sniper Elite 5 game, with an epic nine mission campaign, Invasion Mode, multiplayer and cooperative play, the Complete Edition also includes: four DLC missions: Landing Force, Conqueror, Rough Landing and Kraken Awakes; fan favourite weapon the Mosin-Nagant, as well as the P.1938 Suppressed Pistol; four weapon skin packs; and three DLC character skin packs, including the battlefield ready American Airbourne and Ghillie Suit skins, along with two Karl skins. In addition, players will also get the chance to take out Hitler himself in the Target Führer Wolf Mountain Mission.

• Death From Above Weapon and Skin Pack

Note: To enjoy Sniper Elite 5's free DLC items after purchasing the Complete Edition, you will need to install them via your platform's store page.



Here's everything you need to know about the latest addition to the franchise. Sniper Elite 5 takes place during D-Day in France, 1944, as hero Karl Fairburne joins a covert US Rangers operation to weaken the Atlantikwall fortifications along the coast of Brittany.

There he contacts the French Resistance, and they begin to uncover a secret Nazi plot that threatens to turn the tide of the war back in the Nazi’s favour: Operation Kraken. It is now down to Karl to reveal exactly what the Axis forces are planning and end Operation Kraken, and the mastermind behind it, Abelard Möller, before it can be launched.


New to the franchise is Sniper Elite 5's Invasion Mode, giving players the chance to 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.

Alternatively, players can choose to work together in co-op across all the game’s missions or test their sharpshooting skills in tense adversarial 16 player multiplayer battles, with customisable characters and loadouts that can be upgraded as you earn XP, medals, and ribbons. If team play is more your style, players can join with up to 3 others against waves of enemies in Survival mode.


We hope that all new and current sniper operatives can get stuck into the campaign and put an end to Project Kraken. Whether you're a skilled marksman, or a deliverer of weaponised chaos, we have no doubt that you will excel on the field of conflict. See you on the battlefield soldier.

Snipers,

Allied HQ can now confirm the launch of Kraken Awakes, the final content pack for Sniper Elite 5's Season Pass Two (Currently 20% OFF in the Steam Summer Sale). Prepare to unleash chaos against Operation Kraken and prove your sniping prowess against the Axis once more.

Intel gathered in previous missions has revealed that Operation Kraken is still a looming threat that demands your immediate action.

Karl Fairburne must utilise the cover of darkness and harness the power of shadows to sabotage an under-construction aircraft carrier, that is the new home of Operation Kraken, and ensure it never sets sail. The fate of the Allies hangs in the balance as you face off against Friedrich Vogel, former deputy to Abelard Möller and the new mastermind behind this diabolical scheme.


Prepare for a dangerous and challenging mission, as you navigate an intricately designed military dock and unravel the mysteries hidden within the sprawling aircraft carrier. With an abundance of secrets waiting to be uncovered, take your time to gather valuable intel and gain the upper hand in your mission to save the world from impending doom.


Kraken Awakes sends you into the belly of the Axis beast, but it also introduces essential additions to your arsenal. Immerse yourself in an all-American look for Karl with the new Patriot weapon skin and American Airborne character skin.

Dominate the battlefield with the Mod.712 pistol, boasting detachable magazines and an unrivaled automatic fire rate, this is perfect for close-quarters combat.


In addition to the Kraken Awakes content pack, Deathmatch connoisseurs can access a new FREE multiplayer map, the Abandoned Quarry.

Engage in heart-pounding firefights as you explore the treacherous depths of the old mine. Seek out vantage points and hidden corners in the nearby coal processing centre, providing ideal sniping sightlines across the map. Whether you prefer the stealthy approach or all-out gunfire and action, the Abandoned Quarry offers an adrenaline-fueled experience for Snipers of all play styles.


Don't forget, with a whopping 60% off the Sniper Elite 5 base game in the Steam Summer Sale, it's even easier to answer the call to arms. The sale ends on the 13th July so don't delay! ⏱️

Snipers, your loadout is due an upgrade. 🔫💥

The Saboteur Weapon & Skin Pack introduces two brand new devastating weapons to your arsenal. Including the lightweight, rapid fire TERA rifle and the versatile, low-recoil Grease Gun. Not only that, but Karl dons a brand new look with the French Resistance-inspired Liberator character skin.

Plus, the FREE No-Cross Map Rhine Crossing is now available across all platforms.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIxAQdWIlio

New Weapons:

The TERA rifle was a lightweight adaptation of the Type 38 which was originally designed for Japanese Paratroopers. It provides a rapid rate of fire with good accuracy thanks to its low levels of recoil.

Featuring a folding stock for improved portability, the TERA is incredibly fast to equip and aim down the sight.

The Grease Gun SMG has great mobility that is very easy to control, even under sustained firing, thanks to its low rate of fire and recoil.

Despite its low muzzle velocity, the stability and control on offer make it a solid choice for slightly longer ranged combat encounters.

New Attire:

With your weapon cache freshly stocked, players can also now enjoy a fresh new look for Karl Fairburne with the Liberator Skin. Celebrating the liberation of Paris, Karl can now don the classic French Resistance guise adorned with signature armband.

FREE No-Cross Map:

We know our community love No-Cross as much as we do! So for those looking to dive back into multiplayer, the FREE No-Cross map Rhine Crossing is now available across all platforms.

Based on the battle of Remagen at the Ludendorff Bridge in Germany, the new map is set at night and the iconic towers on the collapsed bridge offer the highest vantage points on either side of the No Cross zone.

With diagonal sightlines across the corners of the map and cover offered by the remains of the bridge, players will have to embrace the shadows and make use of the dark to prevail.

Patch Notes:

Alongside our usual extended patch notes listed below, we'd like to make mention of the increased number of reports we've received for the 12011 connectivity error, specifically impacting connection for some of our Xbox users and those playing with them from other platforms.

We'd like to reassure our Community that we're aware of this issue and are actively investigating a fix as a priority. We hope to roll this out in the very near future, so stay tuned for further updates in the coming days. In the meantime:

On Tuesday we rolled out a fix to tackle the larger than expected patch size issue on Steam. Whilst this fix worked for most players, it also introduced a new issue which stopped a small subsection of Steam users from being able to open Sniper Elite 5.

We’re working hard to try and rectify this problem for our users, but we need more time to verify the fix before rolling out a patch. Meaning that it will not arrive before the weekend.

However, to get as many of our impacted Steam users operating as normal this weekend, we’d like to provide the option of a separate Early Access beta branch.

It goes without saying, the priority is and will always be our Community, and we’re incredibly sorry that finding a permanent fix for both the patch size issue and this Steam issue is taking longer than we would have hoped. Thank you for your ongoing patience and support and we'll keep you posted as soon as we have more.


To get players back into Sniper Elite 5, we have created a beta branch. This beta contains an initial fix for the launch problem, and should mean you can get back to playing.


Please note that this guide demonstrates from beginning to end how to access, download and open the beta. If you are familiar with beta branches and just want the password, please skip to step 5.

To access the beta, please follow these instructions:

1. Open your Game Library on Steam.
   
2. Right-click on Sniper Elite 5.
   
3. Select Properties from the menu.
   
4. In the Properties menu, select 'Betas' from the left-hand panel.
   
5. In the box under 'Enter beta access code...', type the following:
   
   steamcommunity
   
   
6. Click 'Check Code'.
   
7. A box will appear with the words 'Opt into: early access' will appear. Please click this.
   
8. Steam will then begin downloading the beta. The name of the beta 'earlyaccess' will appear in square brackets next to Sniper Elite 5 in your library list.
   
9. Once the beta has downloaded, launch the game as you usually would.

Whilst we don't anticipate any disruption to save games, as a precaution we recommend that you backup your save data. To do this:

Browse to C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME HERE]\AppData\Local\Sniper Elite 5\PC_ProfileSaves
Copy all of the files in that folder.

Paste them to an easily accessible location like your desktop.


What is a beta?

A beta is a version of a game that is released in a controlled manner to the public before general release. This is to test features (or a new game) and gather responses. In this case, this Sniper Elite 5 beta includes a fix to the problem some users have had launching via Steam.

Will cross-play be enabled or can I play with people on other platforms?

Yes, the cross platform play will be the same experience in the beta as it is usually is in Sniper Elite 5.

Will my save data be accessible from the beta or will I have to start again?

Yes, your save data should be accessible as when you normally play Sniper Elite 5.

What happens if the beta doesn't work for me?

If the beta doesn't work for you, please let us know using our Contact Form[support.rebellion.com] or in a reply to your existing Support email.

You don't have to disable the beta but if you want to:

1. Open your Game Library on Steam.
   
2. Right-click on Sniper Elite 5.
   
3. Select Properties from the menu.
   
4. In the Properties menu, select 'Betas' from the left-hand panel.
   
5. In the drop-down under 'Select the beta...', select 'None' and close the window.

What are you doing to fix the problem, and when will it be fixed?

We are currently working on a fix and hope to release it soon however, it is taking time and we want to get it right. We appreciate your patience!
