Sniper Elite: Resistance – 7 Tips and Tricks for Survival

Players will need to know some useful tips and tricks to overcome Survival Mode in Sniper Elite: Resistance.

These tips can sometimes seem very obvious when read, but in the heat of gameplay, they can easily become overlooked.

Look Around Corners

The Third-Person Camera Can Be Used to One’s Advantage

• Hide around corners.
• Be mindful of flankers.

Sniper Elite: Resistance uses a third-person camera. This means players can be completely hidden, or hiding behind protective cover, and the enemy will not be able to see or hit them. In Multiplayer, each team will be trying to rack up as many kills as they can to ensure victory. By utilizing cover effectively, players will be able to not only deny enemies getting points, they can scope out many key spots where an enemy might nest.

Be Inconspicuous

There Are Plenty of Spots Enemies Might Overlook

• Don’t snipe from high corners.
• Don’t linger around noticeable landmarks.

As mentioned above, many players will find ideal locations to snipe from. However, locations that stand out, such as outputs and tips of cliffs, easily stand out. In fact, many players will look at these locations for other players. It is best to strike from places that don’t stand out.

Lay Low

Being Prone can Limit Exposed Vital Areas

• Make use of crouching and being prone
• Use crouching and being prone while moving

Being prone not only helps one regain their breath faster, it makes them a smaller target. Players that stand, or even crouch, have many exposed vital areas that other players can hit. Each death means 1 point further from victory.

Players will want to make use of being prone when moving out of cover to take a shot. Players can also use being prone to move behind a wall. Players never know just how good an opponent may be at hitting a moving target from playing past Sniper Elite games. Sometimes being prone will not be an option, but crouching can be a close second while near windows.

Relocate Often

Always Be on the Move to Avoid Being Targeted

• Don’t keep attacking from the same place
• Relocate even after failed shots.

Whenever a player takes a shot, they should consider their cover blown. This is because every time a player gets a kill, the kill cam exposes them to their victim. This will mean plenty of times that a player will inspect that spot to see if their killer is still lingering.

Each time a player gets a successful snipe, they should relocate to a new position. Even if the shot misses, the location is no longer safe.

Experiment with Different Rifles

Not Every Rifle Fits Every Player; Try Them All

• Test out high-zoom rifles
• Test out rifles that work well at close range.

Some players do better with rifles that are high accuracy and control to nail perfectly placed shots. These players may want a rifle with a high amount of zoom. However, other players might like their sniping to use a lower zoom, with more power behind each shot. These may also work well for close-up fights, reducing the need to switch weapons.

Not all players will be playing the same way. Don’t expect the best zoom to mean the best playstyle. A player needs to find the rifle that works best for them and allows them to perform at their best.

Don’t Ignore Secondary Weapons

One Doesn’t Always Need to Be a Sniper

• Have the right secondary weapon to use.
• Switch to secondary while traveling.

Not every exchange will be at a long distance; sometimes players will come around a corner and find themselves face-to-face with an enemy. Players should pick a secondary weapon that best suits how they wish to fight up close.

Some rifles work just as well up close as they do from afar. For this reason, players should always switch to their secondary weapon while traveling. This lets them be ready to fight at close range should the need arise.

Practice

Enemies Will Be Bringing Their A-Game

• Play Authentic difficulty
• Make use of the practice range

Sniper Elite is not a trial-by-fire kind of game. Players shouldn’t just jump into multiplayer unprepared. Players should first complete the campaign for a firm grasp of the game. They should then decide what weapons and loadout works for them. Hit up the practice range for a little while.

One of the best methods of practicing for multiplayer is actually trying the campaign on Authentic. This will give players a challenge that will put them in the mindset that they cannot be risky and to always be on high alert that being seen can mean failure.
