Eliminating the first enemy officer | Mission 2 - Gaberoun Sniper Elite III Guide

Those tents hold two new documents.

The game will add the location of three officers on your map (near the end of the mission there will be the 4th one marked on your map). It is highly suggested that you reach them in a sequence presented in this guide, so you do not have to take unnecessary risks and visit previously examined locations. First things first, you should take care of the officer located to the north-east from your current position (point 6 on the map). Travel to the north-west and watch out for lone enemies, which may be hiding inside of ruins. During your journey, you should look inside two tents (green points 2 and 3 on the map), because there are hidden War Diaries inside of them (War Diary - Axis Account: Reclaiming Tobruk and War Diary - Discipline and Obedience).

There are two enemies guarding the mountain pass.

In the meantime, you should receive your first optional task - to eliminate the first enemy officer by using the nearby Sniper Nest. To get to the nest, you should go along the mountain pass (point 4 on the map). You should stumble upon two watchmen along your way - wait for one of them to move away a little and begin your assault, taking care of both of them in a safe and silent manner.

Stay on the mountain pass, first heading towards North-East and then turning to East. After a short while you should arrive at the vantage point (point 5 on the map). Silently kill the nearby sniper and, taking advantage of the opportunity, sabotage the new generator (point 2 on the map). Take your time and scan thoroughly the whole area by using your binoculars. Finally, unlock the Sniper Nest shown on the above screenshot ( the main character should automatically lie on the ground).

The officer is located inside the tent.

In order to complete the previously mentioned optional task, you must shoot (by standing on the vantage point) the first enemy officer, who is located inside the tent, to the south-east from your current location. It's not recommended to attack this person directly - even if you use the noisy generator to drown out the sound of gunfire, the officer death may still be noted by the enemy soldier. You should start by eliminating all the enemies stationed around the tent, leaving the officer as an icing on the cake.

Using the south passage is the safest approach.

Leave the sniper nest and get back to the west part of the map. During your trip to the tent in which there was an officer a second ago you must be cautious, as there should still be several enemies nearby (at least three of them are hidden in the ruins, located to the south of the sniper nest). Using the south passage is the safest approach, as there's only a single watchman stationed there. The same goes for the main encampment - there's a chance of a several soldiers to be inside of it. Either eliminate or avoid contact with the enemies and reach the tent with the officer. Examine his body to find a War Diary - Intel: Recruitment Drive.
