Spotlight | Weapons And Customisation In Sniper Elite 5
April 14th 2022
Attention snipers!
With just 42 days to go until the launch of Sniper Elite 5, we're delighted to unveil a brand new Weapons & Customisation Spotlight which reveals the steps the team at Rebellion takes to recreate the authentic weapons in minute detail.

The Sniper Elite 5 Development team worked with renowned military historian and star of the Combat Dealers TV show, Bruce Crompton as well as the Imperial War Museum and Royal Armouries Museum to capture thousands of reference images and audio recordings of World War 2 weapons and vehicles to help ensure maximum authenticity.
From capturing 300-400 photographs of German half-tracks, tanks, artillery pieces and Kettenkrads during the Photogrammetry process, to ensuring that the sounds attached to Karl's signature Welrod are as accurate as possible, Sniper Elite 5 promises to be the most immersive, authentic experience in the franchises' history.
As Senior Designer Lawrence Barnett previously addressed in his Dev Diary, Sniper Elite 5 offers a level of customisation never seen before in the series so far, with players able to change a weapon’s stock, magazines, receiver, barrel, scopes and iron sights as well as the materials. This enables the player to finesse their weapons to best suit their playstyle, whether that is stealthy and methodical, ‘run and gun’, or a mixture of the two. Customisation options can also be accessed during gameplay as the player discovers Workbenches in the game maps. These will in-turn unlock further customisation options.
Sniper Elite 5 will release simultaneously on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 4 & 5, Epic, Steam and Windows Store on May 26th 2022. Don't forget to pre-order now to receive an additional Target Führer campaign mission entitled “Wolf Mountain”. A Deluxe Edition is also available, which will include Season Pass One, as well as the P.1938 Suppressed Pistol for pre-orders.
