There are no ‘Jäger’ infantry on this map which is a shame as they are a tougher and more challenging opponent to outwit, but there are three Gun Boats that must be avoided and are fun to blow up. The only snag here is that you need to carry out the ’Killing Objective’ for this mission which involves poisoning a high-value named target to unlock the high-capacity drum. When combined with the 71-round drum at one of the three hidden workbenches this becomes a ‘Bullet hose’. This is a hellishly loud piece of kit that is perfect for those ‘Spray and Pray’ close quarter moments that a sniper who has stayed in one place for too long can sometimes find themselves in. On a more positive note, the other new weapon is the PPSH Soviet Submachine gun favoured by Johnny Red in the ‘Battle’ comic of the early 1980s. A rifle that requires several shots to kill a target is not useful to a seasoned sniper like me and I soon swapped it out for my trusty SREM-1. Yes, it is quiet and yes you can fix a bayonet to it which allows you to melee kill more hardy members of the enemy ranks but I found it to be as powerful as a pea shooter. This piece of kit is supposedly one of the quietest rifles ever produced and is nice enough but for me, its Pros are far outweighed by its Cons. To push the stealth agenda for this mission, one of the new weapons included in the Weapon Pack is the D.L. Captured footage can appear rather dark because of this but it is fine when you are playing the mission and ‘in the zone.’ The mission is set at night to aid stealth activities if (unlike me) that is your thing. I don’t like to complete a mission without carrying out every possible objective, destroying all enemy vehicles and killing every Nazi on the map. A Shot in the DarkĪs usual, the more exploration that you do the more secondary objectives come to light and let’s face it, these missions are there to savour not to rush through as quickly as possible.

Sent in under cover of darkness it is the players’ task to explore the coastal surrounding area, destroy the big guns and turn off the local Lighthouse to signal that the area is now safe for allied shipping to enter. Karl Fairburne is once again the only person capable of neutralising this threat. ‘Operation Dragoon’ the campaign to liberate France is being held up due to the threat posed by a giant mountainside gun battery. Let’s return to France to cancel more Nazis in the Xbox Era review of Sniper Elite 5: Landing Force DLC.īeing a fan of the 1961 film ‘The Guns of Navarone’ which at the time was supposedly ‘The Greatest High Adventure Ever Filmed’ this mission is right up my street.
