Not only can your friends join your game to cooperatively defeat the Nazis, but other random players will also have the option to invade your game as an Axis player charged with hunting you down. Unfortunately, during our hands-on time with the preview, we did not get the opportunity to try out one of the most understated features of Sniper Elite 5, the new PvP invasion mode. Default loadouts have evolved into living classes that can be changed to suit your playstyle almost dynamically. Strict linear missions have slowly evolved into expansive maps with multiple solutions. Part of this can be attributed to Rebellion's prior experiences with Sniper Elite, and the gradual changes they've made to the franchise that have paid off over time. With a month left to go until the release of Sniper Elite 5, the game already felt incredibly polished and ready to put in players' hands. Rebellion clearly has a formula when it comes to the Sniper Elite franchise, and for the most part it has worked for them. The attention to detail does a lot to help elevate the gameplay experience, especially when these audio cues can provide feedback on how well your plan of attack is working out for you. Rebellion took special care while recording the audio effects for Sniper Elite 5, as well, paying attention to even the smallest of details such as mechanical noises and the sound of gunfire from a variety of distances. The developers had the opportunity to catalogue an extensive collection of World War II-era weapons and vehicles to further enhance Sniper Elite 5's accuracy. Rebellion developers took weapon accuracy seriously during the production of Sniper Elite 5, calling on military historians to consult on the game's arsenal of weapons. In addition to default weapon loadouts, players can find and pick up a variety of weapons during their missions. This prevents mission replays from feeling stale, as various customization options lead to experiences and gameplay tactics. Changing a weapon's components do not just limit the way a weapon can be used, but it can also change the entire feel of a mission and the way players choose to approach encounters. Changes made by swapping out equipment is visually represented when making a change along with the pros and cons of using a particular component on your weapon. While Sniper Elite 5's customization feels robust, it manages to be perfectly reasonable even for beginner players. Not all weapon customization is limited to workbenches, however, as players can pick up special ammunition types that can be changed on the fly via a radial menu. These provide the opportunity to completely customize your weapon - from stocks to barrels to scopes - all without having to give up your mission progress. So many opportunities to customize your loadout can lead to disaster in a tactical game, unfortunately, and Rebellion has prepared for this by leaving a few workbenches carefully placed for players to interact with during missions.
Karl, himself, is customizable with a collection of upgrades that players can unlock with skill points. Additional equipment such as trip mines and grenades can also be added to your loadout.
Sniper Elite 5 gives players the option to create loadouts to their liking with a marksman, SMG, and pistol all being available from the start of each mission. Earlier games saw players only having access to a marksman rifle and a pistol, but as Karl's adventures have advanced so too has his access to firearms.
