Sniper Elite 5 Reloads with a Free Multiplayer Map and the Landing Force Mission and Weapon Pack

Hey Snipers! Welcome to the latest updates on Season Pass One content Sniper Elite 5.

The new content drop, available now, includes a brand-new mission called “Landing Force” and two additional weapons, the D.L. Carbine rifle, PPSH submachine guns. All players will also receive Flooded Village, an adversarial multiplayer game, absolutely for nothing. The trailer can be viewed above.

So, let’s get into the details:

We are talking about Landing Force, Michael Ma, Designer and Rajesh Parmar, Artistfrom Flix Interactive who is partnering with Rebellion on the development of the Season One content for Sniper Elite 5, told us: “Landing Force is set on an island off the coast of southern France, that was initially used as a luxury resort. The Nazis have dramatically changed it into a giant weapon that is guarding the sea. Karl is responsible for destroying the guns and shutting down the lighthouse in order to alert the Allied fleet they can begin Operation Dragoon to take back France.  

“The mission was inspired by the movie ‘The Guns of Navarone’ so we wanted the coastal weapons to be the focus and have a looming presence over the whole mission. 

“Setting the mission at night really helps set the mood and lean into the importance of remaining undetected. You will get to encounter a variety of different buildings, scenery, and landscapes within the level, and we have also added elements of ancient ruins, forts, walls, and abandoned buildings scattered across the map, giving the island a deeper sense of history.

“The entire map can be explored, and players have multiple routes to take in order to locate their objective and numerous ways to complete them. We can’t wait for you to play it!”

Two new weapons, the D.L. and the Landing Force Mission are also available. The PPSH and Carbine are also available. We spoke to Rebellion’s resident firearm expert, Lawrence Barnett, Principle Designer (Combat) about the new weapons:

“The D.L Carbine, is possibly one of the quietest firearms ever made. Its integrated suppressor, as well as subsonic ammunition muffle the initial blast completely. As a result, you’ll find it to be the ultimate tool for stealth gameplay. You can easily eliminate targets long-range with only a whisper.

“Proof of these bold claims comes from Burma, where Japanese soldiers riding in open lorries were shot at by nearby allied snipers, without them knowing a gun had been fired. They would slow down, and the soldiers looked around confused, then continued.

“In a deviation from stealth, we have the PPSH submachine gun. It is an extremely powerful weapon, which has a similar spirit to a honey badger. Cycling off soviet 7.62x25mm rounds at an astounding rate of well over 1100 rounds per minute, it’s a riot. It’s often referred to as the “burp gun” thanks to the audible sound of bursts of shots sounding almost like a continuous flow of blasts.

“Firing off rounds as quickly as the PPSH does requires lots of ammo, and thankfully we have a 71 round drum magazine available to find hidden in a workbench.

“For those of you that lean on your rifles for general play and call upon your SMG in times of need (when you get spotted/heard and it all goes south), the PPSH is the ultimate ‘get out of jail’ card.”

A new multiplayer map is finally available for adversarial games (including No Cross), and it’s free. Mark Shaw is Studio Design Leadat Rebellion Liverpool and we spoke with him about Flooded Village.

“Nazi countermeasures against airborne landings have left the fields of this small countryside village a deadly quagmire, splitting it in two.

“While not based on one specific location, the team has drawn inspiration from historical reference, battles and events that occurred during the allied advance inland across Normandy. There are so many iconic images associated with D-Day, and among those are the scenes of swollen rivers and fields inundated with water – the result of Axis forces deliberately opening locks and breaching flood defences.

“As a result, this map offers a unique look and gameplay challenges. Players must navigate through deep water while fighting on the central lowland strip. It can be dangerous to move at high speeds, which could lead to loud splashing. But it is sometimes worth taking the risk in order reach some of these flooded homes that offer better vantage points.

“Another key feature is the causeway and rail bridge running down one side of the map – a fantastic, elevated location, but be wary of being silhouetted against the low sun.

“There are many more interesting features and gameplay opportunities in this map, and we hope you enjoy discovering and utilising them in your online battles.”

That’s it for our latest update. Flooded Village is available free to all players now (just make sure that your game is updated), while the “Landing Force” mission, the D.L. The Carbine rifle, PPSH Submachine Gun and the PPSH carbine gun are now available for purchase as part of this campaign Landing ForceMission and Weapon Pack available as part the Season Pass One bundle. You can now purchase the P.1938 Supressed pistol from Microsoft. It was previously available only as a preorder item.

Enjoy your hunting trip!
