If you\u2019re a fan of sniper games, you probably prefer more authentic sniper experiences than most gamers. Sniper Elite 5\u2019s authentic sniping difficulty provides something challenging, but not TOO challenging. In fact, veterans of the Sniper Elite series can most likely skip this guide, as the changes are fairly intuitive if you’re familiar with the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a detailed ballistics system, sniping in authentic difficulty is a rewarding experience. Let\u2019s break it down for those of you who want to learn what the fuss is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SE5 Authentic Sniping: Elevation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first factor you\u2019ve got to plan for is estimating how much the bullet will drop as it travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the muzzle velocity of your rifle and the round you\u2019re firing, the drop of your bullet could be fairly minor. While authentic sniping difficulty doesn\u2019t give you a magic crosshair that shows up when you hold your breath, it DOES give you an indicator at the side of your scope showing exactly how much the bullet will drop based on the range to your target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the important part: This isn\u2019t based on what you are aiming your crosshair at, but is actually a direct estimation of where the bullet will land based on the factors impacting it\u2019s drop (and wind, which we\u2019ll talk about later). This elevation marker acts exactly like the breath-holding crosshair on easier difficulties, but won\u2019t show you if you\u2019re going to impact the target you want, just where the bullet will land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you adjust your elevation on your scope for the range to your target, this marker will rise, reducing the amount of \u201choldover\u201d you have to deal with to hit your target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick tip: If your target is closer to the next elevation increment on your scope, it may be easier to over-adjust the elevation (so you aim a little lower, rather than a lot higher).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, keep in mind that your bullet travels in a parabolic arc. If you\u2019re using a low muzzle velocity rifle & round, and are shooting at a target 400m or further away, just because you can see them doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re guaranteed to hit them. The bullet will arc up a significant amount, and there is an (albeit) slim chance the bullet will impact something on it\u2019s way to the target. Keep this in mind, and consider carrying match ammo for just such occasions (match ammo has highly increased muzzle velocity, which means the bullet has less drop).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
