Some particularly demanding or complex achievements are discussed in more detail on separate pages of our trophy guide:

3. Fire and Brimstone trophy consists in killing 5 enemies with one blow from the air.

How long does it take to complete Sniper Elite 4?

The amount of time needed to complete the game varies greatly depending on how you intend to play it, what additional activities you plan to deal with and whether you have access to additional missions:

1. It can take you about 8-10 hours to complete the main campaign. This is based on the assumption that you chose one of the lower difficulty levels and did not avoid direct battles with your opponents.
2. Completing the main campaign in stealth mode can take you up to about 15-20 hours. Stealth action and slow elimination of enemies is the recommended way to pass the game.
3. It can take you 25-30 hours to complete the main campaign in 100 percent. In order to complete each mission in 100%, you must complete all the optional goals and find all the secrets.
4. Completing the DLC (Target Fuhrer; Deathstorm 1-3) mission may take from a few to several hours. Again, a lot depends on whether you try to go through them quickly, or carefully eliminate enemies and thoroughly explore the area.

Does Sniper Elite 4 have high system requirements?

No, Sniper Elite 4 does not have high hardware requirements. Like the previous versions of the series, the game is also well optimized. It should run smoothly on both, a few year PCs and consoles.

The minimum system requirements of the game are very low:

1. Processor: Intel Core i3-2100
2. RAM: 4 GB
3. Video card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon HD7870 with 2GB memory
4. Operating system: Windows 7 / 8 / 10 - only 64-bit versions
5. HDD space required: more than 50 GB

Recommended system requirements should also not pose a big problem:

2. RAM: 8 GB
3. Video card: Nvidia GTX 970 / AMD RX 480
4. Operating system: Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 - only 64-bit versions
5. HDD space required: more than 50 GB

More information is available on the System Requirements page of our guide, where you will also find our game experience and the answer to the question whether you need an Internet connection to play the game.

Do I have to play the previous parts of Sniper Elite beforehand?

No, that's not necessary. In the following parts of the Sniper Elite series, Karl Fairburne remains the playable hero, although none of the games puts a very strong emphasis on the plot. This is no different for Sniper Elite 4. The most important thing is proper gameplay, i.e. sneaking around on maps, eliminating Nazis and fulfilling mission objectives.

If you like the sniper character of the game and you want to visit other interesting locations, we recommend you to take an interest in the following titles:

1. Sniper Elite V2 Remastered - This is a refreshed version of the game from 2012, which includes some improvements in graphics. The action takes place entirely in Berlin. The game can be played on PC, PS4, XONE and Nintendo Switch.
2. Sniper Elite III - this is part of a series in which Fairburne visits Africa. There are interesting maps to explore like oasis or ancient ruins. The game was released on several platforms - PS3, X360, PC, PS4 and XONE.
3. Zombie Army Trilogy - This is a very interesting spin-off of the Sniper Elite series, in which we deal with the elimination of undead Nazis. The trilogy consists of three parts of the Nazi Zombie Army. You can play these on PC, PS4 and XONE.

Guide for beginner snipers

Our game guide should be especially helpful if it is your first contact with the Sniper Elite series or if it's been a long time since you played another part of the franchise. On separate pages of the manual we discussed many problematic issues:

1. Starting Tips - A set of basic tips will tell you how to behave after a single shot, how to react to the actions of opponents, how to use the sounds of the environment for your own benefit, or how to gain experience points.
2. Using silenced weapons - On this page we inform, among others, how to recognize if a weapon has a silencer and what are the advantages of using a stealth weapon with a suppressor. In addition, you will learn about the possibility of using special ammunition.
3. Stealth and stealth kills - In Sniper Elite 4, playing missions in stealth mode is the recommended way to progress through the game. You will learn how to move around the map without triggering alarms and how to distract your opponents.
4. Which difficulty level should I choose? - This is an important decision because it affects how easy (or how difficult) you can hit your opponents with a sniper rifle. We have comprehensively discussed all available difficulty levels.
5. How to hit opponents? - It takes a lot of training to use a sniper weapon properly. From our guide you will learn: how to identify enemies with binoculars, how to aim at enemies, and what factors affect the trajectory of the bullet.

What versions of Sniper Elite 4 are available?

Sniper Elite 4 is available in two major versions:

1) Standard - it is offered in a retail and in digital form. It only guarantees access to the main campaign.

2) Digital Deluxe Edition - in addition to the main campaign, it also includes a season pass. A season pass includes the following items:

1. 4 new missions - Target: Fuhrer and Deathstorm 1-3 mini-campaign
2. 18 new weapons
3. 9 new characters for multiplayer modes and cooperation mode
4. 32 new weapon skins

You can also purchase your season pass separately - the game will automatically update and unlock all items reserved for Digital Deluxe Edition.

Does Sniper Elite 4 have any plot choices and different endings?

No, Sniper Elite 4 does have any option to make choices during the main plot. Also, there is only one ending available. Campaign missions must be carried out in a top-down order. What's more, even if you don't perform some optional tasks in a given mission, it won't have any influence on the course of the next mission.

It is worth noting that Sniper Elite 4 offers a lot of freedom in the subject of how to play through the mission. Each mission takes place on a huge sandbox map that you can explore as much as you want. This allows you to reach the mission objectives from different sides and perform the received orders, e.g. by relying on surprise attacks or traps. Each map has a lot of additional activities waiting for you - for example, you can do optional tasks or search for collectibles.

The game doesn't score any challenges - why?

In our walkthrough we inform about the challenges related with each of the missions (e.g. killing x enemies from hiding or completing a task without taking damage), although they do not appear on the list of objectives when you complete the game for the first time. This is not a result of an error, but a deliberate action on the part of the game's developers.

Challenges become available only when the mission is played again. This means that you can ignore them completely during your first run through the game, because even if you meet their objectives, they will not be counted yet. The game follows the challenges only in the second and subsequent re-takes of the same mission.

Minimal requirements

1. CPU: Intel Core i3-2100
2. Ram: 4 GB
3. Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon HD7870 with 2 GB RAM
4. OS: Windows 7 / 8 / 10 - only 64-bit
5. HDD required: over 50 GB
