❤ Immersive and Expansive Environments

The game uses photogrammetry to faithfully recreate real-world locations in Brittany, France, allowing players to explore sprawling maps filled with diverse terrain, buildings, and environmental details. Players will navigate through ruined cities, rural towns, and fortified Nazi strongholds, providing a highly immersive experience. The maps encourage multiple approaches, with several infiltration and extraction points, as well as a variety of primary and secondary objectives scattered throughout each level. This rewards exploration, as players can uncover new mission opportunities and discover advantageous sniper positions or flanking routes.

❤ Tactical Sniping and Stealth

At the core of the gameplay is the genre-defining, authentic sniper experience. Players can take their time lining up precise shots, factoring in variables like range, wind, and heart rate to make challenging long-range kills. The trademark X-ray kill cam returns, providing a graphic and grisly depiction of the bullet's path through the target's body. The game also places a strong emphasis on stealth, giving players many tools and options to approach situations quietly. Players can use silenced weapons, execute melee takedowns, and leverage environmental distractions like whistling and throwing bottles to systematically eliminate enemies without being detected. Careful positioning and planning is crucial, as the AI will aggressively pursue and converge on the player's position if they are spotted.

❤ Weapon Customization and Traversal

The game features an extensive weapon customization system, allowing players to fine-tune nearly every aspect of their firearms at workbenches scattered through the maps. Players can modify scopes, stocks, barrels, magazines, and more, optimizing their loadout for different engagement ranges and playstyles. The game also introduces new ammunition types, from armor-piercing rounds to non-lethal options. In addition to long-range sniping, the gameplay encourages dynamic movement and traversal. Players can use ziplines, slide down slopes, and shimmy along ledges to reach elevated positions or bypass obstacles. This adds an extra layer of flexibility and verticality to the gameplay, empowering players to navigate the environment creatively.

❤ Replay Value and Playstyle Variety

The open-ended mission design and customization options promote a high degree of replayability. Each map can be approached in multiple ways, with players free to mix stealth, sniping, and more aggressive tactics as they see fit. The game also tracks and provides feedback on the player's preferred playstyle, encouraging experimentation and varied approaches. Additionally, the inclusion of cooperative play and the new Invasion mode introduces new strategic considerations. Players can team up with a partner to coordinate their attacks, or randomly invade each other's campaigns as an Axis sniper, creating a new dynamic cat-and-mouse challenge.
