Overview
Description

Sniper Elite puts you in the boots of OSS operative Karl Fairburne, tasked with stopping Soviet forces from seizing Germany’s nuclear research in April 1945.

The game rewards precision with a signature slow‑motion bullet‑cam, while wind, noise, and cover demand careful planning. Both single‑player and multiplayer modes let players experience the tense, methodical combat that defines the series.
