Eliminating the third enemy officer | Mission 2 - Gaberoun Sniper Elite III Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The third officer is located in the central part of the oasis (point 14 on the map), but before you can focus yourself on him, it would be recommended to take care of the last secondary objective. It's connected with the five trucks, parked to the East from your current position (point 10 on the map) - you have to destroy all of them. Reach a small elevation neighboring the Motorpool. Sabotage the nearby generator (point 2 on the map) and start using your sniper rifle to eliminate nearby enemy soldiers. With a little bit of luck, you should be able to get rid of them without getting any attention.
Make sure, that you've cleared the area around the Motorpool. Afterwards, you can focus on destroying the trucks. There are five to get rid of. It's best to destroy them by using your grenades, or dynamites, but you can also shoot at a huge fuel tank located near them (use your binoculars to find its weak point).
Note - if you don't want to cause unnecessary attention and bring enemies onto yourself, you can do this mission later on as well. However, if you've eliminated all of the enemies in the area, you won't alarm the rest of the map even if you blow up the whole Motorpool.
After destroying the trucks, go along the main route leading to South-East. Do not rush during your march, as an enemy vehicle will stop on your way (point 11 on the map), dropping several soldiers in the process. Immediately hide yourself so you won't get spotted by the enemy reinforcements. You can go back to the elevation near the generator and take care of them from afar, kill them off with your silenced pistol, or simply bypass them, without killing anyone.
Continue along the way. Another major threat are the two machinegun emplacements (point 12 on the map), blocking the access to the South-East part of the map. At the moment it's best to just ignore them. Use your surroundings and tall grass to avoid getting noticed. Get to the passageway located to the West from the machinegun emplacements (point 13 on the map). Go along this route to West, in the direction of the third officer (point 14 on the map).
There are two enemies in the close vicinity of the officer, who should be permanently stationed there (at least two more patrol other routes), so it's unadvised to charge at him from the very beginning. Instead, you should aim at the ammunition box shown on the above screenshot. The ammo box should explode upon firing at it, killing or at least severely wounding the enemy officer. Get rid of all the enemies that should be closing on the position (preferably by using the silenced pistol). Last but not least, examine the body of the officer (or finish him off, if he wasn't killed) and collect War Diary - Intel: Threat Assessment.
