As elite marksman Karl Fairburne, you'll be dropped into stunningly realized locations across France in 1944 to dismantle a secret Nazi project, Operation Kraken. Expect tense stealth, satisfying long-range takedowns, and tactical use of your environment to outwit and eliminate enemy forces.

This guide hub is your one-stop shop for mastering every aspect of Sniper Elite 5. We'll cover how to find every collectible, conquer challenging boss encounters, and achieve the coveted Gold Medals on every mission. Plus, we'll dive deep into the game's workbench system, showing you exactly how to mod your weapons for maximum effectiveness, ensuring you're always prepared for the fight ahead.

Abelard Moller

Learn how to take down Abelard Moller in Sniper Elite 5. This guide covers the headshot method for the 'Brains of the Operation' achievement and the explosive engine shot for 'Mollertov Cocktail'.

Alright, let's get this guy, Abelard Moller. He's been a real nuisance throughout the game, but now it's finally his turn to face the music.

You'll kick things off on a hill overlooking the chateau. After a quick cutscene shows Moller getting ready to make a run for it, hang tight for a few seconds. You'll get word that he's about to bolt. Keep your scope trained on the door on the right side of the chateau – Moller, decked out in his Nazi uniform, should pop out.

Here's the straightforward part: line up your headshot. Take a deep breath, hold it, and squeeze the trigger. Just sit back and enjoy the cutscene; it's pretty satisfying watching him go down. Honestly, the life of a sniper can feel a bit impersonal, don't you think?

With Moller dealt with, you've officially completed all the missions that came with the base game of Sniper Elite 5. Nicely done!

How to get the Mollertov Cocktail Achievement

For a more explosive exit, you'll want to aim for the car. Hit it dead center to take Moller out in a spectacular fiery blast.

To snag the 'Mollertov Cocktail' medal, you need to kill Moller with an explosion. Quickly swap your ammo to armour-piercing rounds. As Moller makes his way towards the white car, a single well-placed shot to the engine block is all it takes. The car will erupt in flames, taking Moller with it. Medal unlocked!

How to get the Brains of the Operation Achievement

Want to unlock the 'Brains of the Operation' medal? It's simple: a clean headshot will do the trick. There are a few other medals you can grab too, which might involve replaying the 'Loose Ends' mission.

To get this specific medal, you need to land a headshot on Moller. He's a fair distance away, but pulling off that perfect shot feels incredibly rewarding.

Adolf Hitler

Complete the Adolf Hitler target in sniper elite 5. Learn methods like booby-trapping his book, food, or using the Rat Bomb.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate Hitler's schedule, which can be found in a safe within the library, to understand his movements.
  2. 2
    Booby trap his book: In the library, booby trap Hitler's reading material. When he goes to read it, the trap will detonate.
  3. 3
    Kill Hitler with a Rat Bomb: The Rat Bomb, available from an earlier mission, can be planted in a room Hitler will enter, eliminating him and potentially other threats.
  4. 4
    Booby trap his food: In the Dining Room, place a grenade into the cake hidden under a cloche. This will detonate when Hitler approaches or interacts with it.
  5. 5
    Booby trap the bowling alley: Plant a mine behind the bowling pins in the bowling alley. This will detonate when Hitler gets a strike.
  6. 6
    Alternatively, you can directly find Hitler and shoot him, though this may be less satisfying and potentially buggier, as experienced during initial playthroughs where he was found stuck running on the spot.
Tips
  • The game encourages replayability by offering an Achievement for killing Hitler five times, so experiment with different assassination methods.
  • Even after killing Hitler, the guards' reaction is often minimal, similar to how they react to other deaths.
  • Hitler also visits other locations, including a lake area.

All Gnome Locations

Struggling to find all 10 gnomes in Sniper Elite 5's Festung Guernsey mission? Follow our guide to pinpoint every hidden gnome and bag that achievement!

Alright, let's get these pesky gnomes sorted! There are 10 of them scattered across the Festung Guernsey map in Sniper Elite 5, and some are definitely trickier to spot than others. Don't worry, I've got your back. We'll track down all 10 so you can snag that 'Gnome Guard' achievement.

  1. Gnome 1: You'll find this one pretty close to where you start the mission. Look for a small path leading to a watch point on your left. The gnome is chilling on a table with some bottles. Just give it a good shot!
  2. Gnome 2: Head to the church tower. This gnome is chilling to the right of the workbench, sitting in a crate.
  3. Gnome 3: This little guy is on the eastern side of the map. You'll need to climb the vines on the cottage to unlock the starting area. Once you're up there, look on the window ledge – he's right there.
  4. Gnome 4: Moving towards the center of the map, into the gardens, keep an eye out for a shed made of corrugated iron. The gnome is sitting on a table right next to it.
  5. Gnome 5: Head over to the target range. You'll spot this gnome perched on the wall, specifically between the two leftmost targets.
  6. Gnome 6: Back to the cottage area, you can spot this gnome from the outside. It's on the window ledge, the same one where you find the workbench.
  7. Gnome 7: This one's in the Underground Hospital and is probably the most annoying to find. It's hiding in a toilet, so you'll need to have a good look around.
  8. Gnome 8: When you reach the area with the Tiger Tank, look for a shed behind it. This gnome is on a shelf, so you'll need to look up towards the top of the storage rack.
  9. Gnome 9: As you make your way through the trenches, you'll find this gnome sitting on a table. Pretty straightforward, just keep your eyes peeled.
  10. Gnome 10: For the final gnome, you'll need to unlock the starting location again. Once inside, head upstairs – you'll need to climb the vines to access the top floor. The gnome is waiting for you on the window ledge up there.

And that's it! With all 10 gnomes shot, you should have completed the 'Gnome Guard' achievement. Well done!
