Last update: 02 June 2022
Eliminating Steffen Beckendorf will allow you to complete the kill list target in mission 1 (The Atlantic Wall) of Sniper Elite 5. The walkthrough has information on where Steffen Beckendorf is and how to kill the target in an explosion to unlock a bonus secret weapon.
Find the target from the list
Steffen Beckendorf is the so-called Kill List Targett - killing him is an optional task, but if you complete it by killing the man in the right way, you will unlock the M.Pist.40 bonus weapon.
The mission target travels in a vehicle around the town located in the south-western part of the map. Use the binoculars to mark the target and make him easier to follow. Beckendorf's vehicle travels along a predetermined route and stops from time to time.
Kill Steffen Beckendorf
To unlock the reward, you need to kill Steffen Beckendorf in an explosion. This is most easily achieved by placing the mine on the route of the vehicle with Beckendorf on board.
Try to clear the eastern part of the town first without alerting your target so that you can safely approach the road that runs through the town. Select the Teller Mine from the inventory. Place one or more mines (to reduce the risk of the vehicle passing them) on the route. The explosion will destroy the vehicle and kill the target of the mission.
You can take the teller mines with you on the mission. You can also find them, among others, by searching through containers with supplies or the bodies of defeated enemies.
One of the alternative ideas on how to easily get rid of the mission objective is to reach the pier located south of the town. There you will find the Panzerfausts shown in the picture. Take one of them with you and choose any place from which you can shoot the missile at the vehicle.
