Focus your attention on “Sniper Elite: Resistance,” the newest addition to Rebellion’s extended military stealth-and-shooter series. It may seem that this upcoming game, “Resistance,” is just an expanded DLC disguised as a full-sized title, but it should be noted that its storyline intertwines with “Sniper Elite 5” and its campaign length will surpass its predecessor significantly. There are several new features in the game, which we’ll explore further in this article. Let’s dive right into 15 key gameplay aspects you should familiarize yourself with before taking aim at “Sniper Elite: Resistance.
It’s more of the same
If you’re a fan of Sniper Elite 4 or 5 and crave more of the same thrilling experience, then Sniper Elite: Resistance might just be what you’re looking for. The Sniper Elite series is renowned for its unique combination of exceptional sniping mechanics, stealth, and tactical third-person gameplay. In fact, there aren’t many games quite like it. With the developers expressing their confidence that there are still compelling stories to be told in World War II Europe, Sniper Elite: Resistance is looking to be a strong addition to the series.
Maps
The game is set in 1944, featuring the intricate maze-like streets of Paris under Nazi control as its primary location so far. The map, representative of the navigable areas within the game, is a vast, complex web of cobblestone roads and shadowy alleyways, ideal for stealth and parkour maneuvers. Cities are teeming with Gestapo patrols, erratic motorcyclists, and enemy snipers nestled in their vantage points. Numerous fortified structures like buildings and bridges offer various routes, entry points, and bottlenecks, encouraging diverse gameplay strategies.
Player agency
The Sniper Elite series is known for its emphasis on player freedom and offering expansive environments that support flexible mission design. True to form, Sniper Elite: Resistance follows suit by providing various methods to accomplish your objectives. This includes selecting from a variety of infiltration and extraction locations, as well as opting for additional tasks or side missions if desired.
Missions
In Sniper Elite: Resistance, tasks involve completing a primary goal – like eliminating a Nazi commander – alongside various optional activities such as raiding an informant’s home, discovering allied hideouts, sabotaging German ammunition stores, and so on. Scattered throughout the city are collectibles that provide valuable information. Since it’s an open-world game, you can tackle as few or as many of these optional activities in any sequence you prefer.
Kill list targets
In addition to each mission’s primary goal, you’ll find an optional side objective, which is the elimination of certain targets on your “hit list.” Hit lists have been a feature in the game Sniper Elite for some time, and they consist of individuals who have caused harm to the allies in various ways. We anticipate that Sniper Elite: Resistance will operate similarly. Each target on the hit list can be eliminated using conventional methods such as knife attacks, gunfire, or sniping, but in previous games there were hit list challenges that required you to take out your target in increasingly unusual ways.
Propaganda missions
If you find that Sniper Elite: Resistance seems like more of the same so far, get ready for something fresh! The game introduces a unique feature called propaganda missions, an entirely new side content that becomes available once you spot propaganda posters scattered within each level. In these missions, you’ll take on objectives as a French resistance fighter, exploring the same location but during a different timeframe. These stealth and sniping challenges will test your skills, with the aim of replaying these missions to achieve top scores.
New protagonist
For the first time in the series, your player character in Sniper Elite: Resistance is Harry Hawker, a British soldier who worked alongside the gruff mainstay Karl Fairburne in co-op mode in Sniper Elite 3 to 5. In Sniper Elite: Resistance, you’ll find that Harry’s story runs parallel to Karl’s from Sniper Elite 5. Both games are about the same length, and according to developer Rebellion, they are designed to complement each other nicely.
Advanced sniping mechanics return
In case you haven’t noticed, the sophisticated sniping features from Sniper Elite are making a strong comeback in this new version. This game is all about careful observation, so besides studying the terrain and tracking enemy movements, you must also consider factors like wind speed and direction. To ensure your shots go unnoticed, it’s crucial to blend your gunfire with ambient sounds such as a truck engine humming or a loudspeaker crackling nearby.
X-ray kill cams still a thing
In every Sniper Elite game, it’s the bullets that steal the spotlight. Each bullet fired from your rifle creates a dramatic slow-motion effect, showing in gruesome detail the bullet’s impact on its target – tearing through flesh, exposing organs, and shattering bones in a gory spectacle of x-ray violence. In Sniper Elite: Resistance, this signature feature has been amplified, as every weapon in the game, not just sniper rifles, now shares in this grisly display when fired. So whether you’re using a handgun, carbine, or machine gun, you’ll get to witness the internal workings of your enemy in all their gory glory.
Large arsenal of authentic weaponry
In “Sniper Elite: Resistance,” you’ll find an array of historically accurate World War II firearms at your disposal, primarily centered around the new protagonist, Harry Hawker. Given his British background, several of the weapons in Hawker’s inventory will differ from the American-made guns that Karl Fairburne used in previous battles. For instance, you can expect two variants of the British-manufactured Lee Enfield bolt-action sniper rifle and the British submachine gun, the Sten Mk. II, to be available. You’ll also have the option to use German weapons like MP40’s and Karabiner 98k’s, as well as the renowned American-made sniper rifle, the M1903 Springfield. There are plenty more weapons to discover, with the full arsenal possibly still hidden.
Weapons are customisable
In my adventure through the levels of “Sniper Elite: Resistance,” I come across concealed workstations (there are three in every level). These workstations provide access to a variety of enhanced accessories for my weapons, such as scopes, stocks, muzzles, and suppressors. Each enhancement caters to a unique playstyle, with different weapon attributes influencing four primary stats: power, rate of fire, control, and mobility. For instance, selecting attachments that boost the rate of fire encourages a more aggressive approach to mission completion, while a powerful scope and suppressor to enhance power and control promote the game’s signature stealth strategy.
Multiplayer modes
As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled to share that the creators behind Sniper Elite: Resistance have confirmed some classic multiplayer modes will be back! Expect intense battles with Deathmatch, strategic no-cross gameplay, and the heart-pounding Survival mode. The best part? Survival mode isn’t just for a few players; it’s designed to accommodate up to sixteen of us in arena-style battles!
Axis invasion returns
In Sniper Elite: Resistance, a unique multiplayer mode from Sniper Elite 5 will be back. This mode introduces an intruder into your mission who can hinder your progress using stealth, sniping, or even elaborate strategies. It’s important to note that the roles can be reversed; you too can invade another player’s game to thwart their objectives.
Accessibility features
In the trend of many modern video games, “Sniper Elite: Resistance” is set to offer a wide range of accessibility options. Rebellion even claims that this latest installment will have the most comprehensive accessibility settings yet. Beyond difficulty customization, tutorials, subtitles, and on-screen text, expect color blindness modes, adjustable audio levels with separate sliders for hit feedback, dialogue, and enemy awareness cues. Additional features include aim assist, control remapping, and accessible gamepad options.
PC requirements (and it’ll be PS5 Pro enhanced)
Absolutely, I’m repeating this: “Sniper Elite: Resistance” will indeed feature a PS5 Pro version, but specific details about the enhancements are still under wraps. For those playing on PC, the minimum requirements include an Intel Core i5-9400f or equivalent processor, Nvidia GeForce GTX 2060 with 6GB of VRAM, 16GB of RAM, DirectX version 12, and approximately 90GB of storage space. The recommended system requirements have yet to be disclosed. Don’t forget that the game is set to release on January 30th!
