Sniper Elite 5 | Saboteur DLC & Free No-Cross Map
Snipers, your loadout is due an upgrade. 🔫💥
The Saboteur Weapon & Skin Pack introduces two brand new devastating weapons to your arsenal. Including the lightweight, rapid fire TERA rifle and the versatile, low-recoil Grease Gun. Not only that, but Karl dons a brand new look with the French Resistance-inspired Liberator character skin.
Plus, the FREE No-Cross Map Rhine Crossing is now available across all platforms.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIxAQdWIlio
New Weapons:
The TERA rifle was a lightweight adaptation of the Type 38 which was originally designed for Japanese Paratroopers. It provides a rapid rate of fire with good accuracy thanks to its low levels of recoil.
Featuring a folding stock for improved portability, the TERA is incredibly fast to equip and aim down the sight.
The Grease Gun SMG has great mobility that is very easy to control, even under sustained firing, thanks to its low rate of fire and recoil.
Despite its low muzzle velocity, the stability and control on offer make it a solid choice for slightly longer ranged combat encounters.
New Attire:
With your weapon cache freshly stocked, players can also now enjoy a fresh new look for Karl Fairburne with the Liberator Skin. Celebrating the liberation of Paris, Karl can now don the classic French Resistance guise adorned with signature armband.
FREE No-Cross Map:
We know our community love No-Cross as much as we do! So for those looking to dive back into multiplayer, the FREE No-Cross map Rhine Crossing is now available across all platforms.
Based on the battle of Remagen at the Ludendorff Bridge in Germany, the new map is set at night and the iconic towers on the collapsed bridge offer the highest vantage points on either side of the No Cross zone.
With diagonal sightlines across the corners of the map and cover offered by the remains of the bridge, players will have to embrace the shadows and make use of the dark to prevail.

On Tuesday we rolled out a fix to tackle the larger than expected patch size issue on Steam. Whilst this fix worked for most players, it also introduced a new issue which stopped a small subsection of Steam users from being able to open Sniper Elite 5.
We’re working hard to try and rectify this problem for our users, but we need more time to verify the fix before rolling out a patch. Meaning that it will not arrive before the weekend.
However, to get as many of our impacted Steam users operating as normal this weekend, we’d like to provide the option of a separate Early Access beta branch.
It goes without saying, the priority is and will always be our Community, and we’re incredibly sorry that finding a permanent fix for both the patch size issue and this Steam issue is taking longer than we would have hoped. Thank you for your ongoing patience and support and we'll keep you posted as soon as we have more.
How do I get back to playing?
To get players back into Sniper Elite 5, we have created a beta branch. This beta contains an initial fix for the launch problem, and should mean you can get back to playing.

Sniper Elite 5 | Death from Above DLC & Free No-Cross Map
Snipers unite,
Intel from HQ now confirms the arrival of Death From Above, the latest content pack for Sniper Elite 5’s Season Pass Two. Not only that, but snipers can also get their hands on the FREE No-Cross multiplayer map The Dam which includes enough vantage points to keep even the MOST elite sniper occupied for a few more weeks.
Before we dive into all the latest content and for anyone new joining us, our extended patch notes are available at the end of this News post. In other words, scroll down for more! 👇
Death From Above delivers a brand new rifle in the shape of the Pedersen as well as a British Dazzle skin for use across all weapons. Also included in this pack is an Air Auxiliary Skin for Monika and the rather suave British Bomber skin for our ever-debonair Karl Fairburne, promising style and class, even in the brutalist of combat scenarios.
Blast your way onto the battlefield and check out the latest Sniper Elite 5 trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVEvyH9bgCU
New Weapon
The Pedersen rifle was proposed as part of a program to adopt a semi-automatic replacement to the M1903. It features no scope options but is arguably best-in-class for ironsight usage and is capable of firing fast, accurate shots at medium range, with great overall stability.
The Pedersen offers a fantastic alternative to weapons like the Gewehr 1943 which may achieve slightly higher damage but posses poor recoil. The Pederson on the other hand has very little recoil and so the gun can be rapidly fired whilst still maintaining accuracy.
New Weapon Skin
Players will also receive the striking British Dazzle weapon skin for all weapons, which pays homage to the dazzle camouflage design used on British tanks during desert campaigns.
New Character Skins
Finally, both Karl and Monica receive new character skins. The British Bomber skin for Karl gives him a distinct aviator look while the Air Auxiliary skin for Monica reflects the uniforms worn by the women’s air-corps whose job was to transport new or repaired planes to active military airfields throughout the UK.
FREE No-Cross Map
Alongside this release, all players will receive a new No-Cross multiplayer map called The Dam which takes players to the remains of a dam that has been partly destroyed by the Allied bombing campaign.
Where is the divide we hear you ask snipers? On this occasion, the river and broken bridges divide the two sides of the map with one side providing ample cover and sniping positions thanks to a tangle of pipework and industrial railings. Players on the opposite side can instead utilise the higher, more natural terrain to their advantage.
And with that, it's time to return to the battlefield in style troops! The Dam awaits 🎯
Full Patch Notes:
Snipers, thank you for your ongoing feedback regarding Rebellion’s Dedicated Servers and for your responses to last month’s Discord vote (https://discord.gg/Rebellion). We’ve just rolled out our latest updates to these spaces which prioritise server visibility and Community-favoured game settings. Changes are as follows:
Locked Game Modes – First and foremost, our server spaces are now locked to individual game mode settings which will include Team Match, No-Cross and one additional server with rotating game modes. Maps will then rotate based on the server game mode.
Scope Glint & Last Known Location – Many of you requested the removal of both scope glint and the ‘last known location’ feature so these will be removed in the 2 x Team Match and 2 x No Cross servers in our US and UK regions.
Server Name Update – We’re aware that for some of you, these spaces weren’t as visible as they could be so we’ve now adapted the server names to ensure it’s clear that these are Rebellion-hosted spaces. They will all include ‘[OFFICIAL]’, followed by the previously used server names (e.g. Kraken), then the acronym for the game mode that applies. ‘TDM’ refers to Team Match, ‘NC’ refers to No-Cross and ‘ALL’ refers to a rotating selection of game modes.
Looking to the future, we’re still exploring ways we might build on these spaces further but for now, the priority is providing a secure, uninterrupted Multiplayer experience that our Community can rely on as an alternative to peer-to-peer hosting.
Keep the feedback coming and watch this space for more in the coming months!
In the meantime, here's an extended list of our latest bug fixes, including a fix for the Trench Gun Shell Loop attachment and what we think will be a very popular update for the Mosin-Nagant following extensive Community feedback that it just wasn't quite hitting hard enough. We think you'll like this one!
Campaign:
Trench Gun - Shell Loops Attachment can now be unlocked as expected. Players who have already met the unlock requirements will only need to get one more kill to trigger the unlock.

Rough landing - Player is not longer able to get stuck under boxes while prone.
Rough landing - Player is no longer able to go behind the collision barrier.

Rough landing - Railyard - Transparent texture seam no longer present in wall.
War Factory - Translated text for 'Found Shipping warehouse safe combination' now appears aligned after killing the logistic officer in the warehouse.
Secret Weapons - Castle - (Hide) Body crate is now empty on mission start.
Demolitionist Ribbon - Ribbon is now tracking properly with Grenade and Pressure Mine combined.
Weapons:
Following Community feedback, the Mosin-Nagant's muzzle velocity has been increased from 800 m/s to 860 m/s, the damage increased from 130 HP to 140 HP and the spread accuracy increased from 48cm to 52 cm.
The M40 attachment is now included as an attachment for the Mosin-Nagant.
Trench Warfare - Carl Gustav M45 - Audio now present when reloading the Carl Gustav M45.
Trench Warfare - Trench Gun - Bayonet attachment now works properly when equipped.
Trench Warfare - The appropriate holding animation of Carl Gustav m/1945 is now observed while walking in ADS view during gameplay.

Don't delay troops as the sale ends in 2 days! Delve into a host of new missions, whether it's in Berlin in 1945, Africa in 1942, Italy in 1944 or France in 1944 - you've got plenty of Axis to dispatch!
Sniper Elite 5 Season Pass Two has LANDED! We're kick-starting the season with the thrilling new campaign mission ‘Rough Landing’ as well as two authentically recreated iconic weapons, the MUCH-requested Mosin-Nagant rifle and the Sjögren shotgun.
To celebrate the start of our Season 2 content drops and Sniper Elite 5's launch on the Epic Store, we've also just released a brand new Trench Warfare Weapon Pack for FREE across all platforms (available to download separately), including the Axis blitzing Carl Gustav M/1945 SMG, the show-stopping Trench Gun and the small but ever deadly Double 1866 pistol.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlwW7ytt3oo
Rough Landing Campaign Mission:
Allied airmen have been shot down over a dense forest and are now in hiding as they are being hunted by Nazi forces. It’s down to you to find and rescue the airmen and ensure that valuable intelligence is kept out of enemy hands.
Featuring thick woodland, a cramped mine shaft and a village to explore, expect a variety of challenges, including close quarters combat. You can brave the mission as either a solo sniper or you can co-op with a fellow spotter. Best of luck troopers!
New additions to your loadout:
To help in your pursuit and rescue of the airmen, you will receive two new weapons: the much-anticipated return of the Mosin-Nagant rifle and introducing the Sjögren Inertia shotgun.
A famously powerful and reliable Russian rifle, the Mosin-Nagant has excellent stopping power and great stability making it an excellent sniper rifle at very long range. Meanwhile the 12G Swedish Sjögren Inertia was one of the first semi-automatic shotguns. It has a distinctive feel to its recoil, which can be controlled to deliver accurate shots at a reasonable rate of fire.
Included in this pack:
Rough Landing campaign mission
Mosin-Nagant rifle
Sjögren shotgun
Rough Landing is available to buy now as the first content drop of Season Pass Two (with more to follow in the coming weeks) or as an individual purchase.
Trench Warfare Weapon Pack:
This FREE Weapon Pack gives you more devastating firepower, specifically for those unpredictable close quarters combat scenarios.
The Carl Gustav M/1945, better known as the Swedish K, was adopted in 1945, taking features from various World War 2 firearms to produce a reliable and well-balanced sub-machine gun. Firing at 600 rounds-per-minute, the Gustav provides accurate single shots, whilst also offering great control in continuous fire.
A powerful pump-action shotgun, the Trench Gun first saw use by US Forces during World Wars I & II. Fed with 12-gauge shells from its 6-round tube magazine, it sacrifices range and fire rate for extreme damage in close quarters.
Finally, the Double 1866 is a double-barrel pocket pistol designed in the 19th Century as an easily concealable backup gun that can be drawn at speed. Despite only featuring a single-action trigger and producing a very low muzzle velocity, the D.1866's unique traits make for a powerful weapon at close range.
Included in this pack:
Carl Gustav M/1945 SMG
Trench Gun shotgun
Double 1866 pistol
Full Patch Notes:
Troops,
As those eagle-eyed snipers among you will have already noticed, we’ve also just soft launched Beta versions of dedicated servers to Sniper Elite 5. With that in mind, we wanted to share exactly how this brand new server system will function in contrast to the dedicated servers you’re used to using in Sniper Elite 4.
We’ve now introduced Rebellion-hosted servers which will roll out in limited US and EU regions in Beta initially, with a view to fully launch in the coming months. In an effort to overcome some technical barriers new to Sniper Elite 5 and to create a smoother online Multiplayer experience, we’ve completely overhauled the previous server system.
These servers will still successfully support crossplay but will also maintain a trusted, reliable environment with sufficient bandwidth and regular map and game mode rotations. This will combat some of the challenges of peer-to-peer hosting like hosts quitting early or laggy game connection and will eventually support more Community control for online play. Access to the dedicated servers is available via the Custom Games screen only, where you’ll find a new column to help players clearly identify which servers are ours. The server names are listed below:
EU Servers:
Blue Viper
Kraken
Chevalier
Jaeger
Neptune
US Servers:
Fairburne
Ghost
Cobra
Detroit
Overlord
Whilst these servers will not allow you to adjust map selection, change server names or ban other players, we hear your requests for more community control in a server environment and are actively exploring ways we could support this in future releases. Given the Beta status of this initial release, we encourage all Community feedback as we continue to build on this system for Sniper Elite 5 and future titles.
Stay tuned for more updates via our usual community/social spaces, The Rebellion Dev Team

Airborne Elite Pack:
The British Lee No.4 is famous for its ergonomics and ability to lay down shots rapidly via the ‘minute man’ hold, a special grip used to grip the bolt to reciprocate the bolt extremely quickly. It offers the shooter great stability, accuracy, and with a 10-round magazine, is very versatile with the powerful 303 British round.
Combine the stunning Lee No.4 rifle with the new Karl Parachute Regiment Character Skin and Union Jack Weapon Skin to complete your distinctly British military look.
Hello from the Sniper Elite team at Flix Interactive!
If you’ve played Landing Force, the first DLC mission included in the Sniper Elite 5 Season Pass, you have hopefully already enjoyed content created by our Sniper Elite team. Since then, we've been working hard alongside Rebellion and it's a pleasure to introduce the latest and final DLC mission for Sniper Elite 5 Season Pass One, Conqueror.
Lore and Setting
Conqueror is based on The Battle for the Falaise Pocket, an important event in WWII which took place in 1944, during which the allied forces formed a pocket around Falaise to cut off the German retreat. A key structure in this battle was the castle Chateaux de Falaise, famous for being the birth site of William the Conqueror, and colloquially known as Château Guillaume le Conquérant or William the Conqueror's Castle. This medieval fortress sits in the heart of the Conqueror mission and must be liberated from the Nazi forces.
Concept, buildings, lighting, Art and Design
The player starts in an allied camp where their fellow soldiers have set up base behind a ridge overlooking the castle, halted in their advance by heavy German resistance. Looking out over the area, the castle looms over a countryside ravaged by war with patrolling Nazis waiting expectantly for a show of force. The overcast weather and moody lighting set the mood for a region which was heavily bombed by the allies and left with billowing plumes of smoke and smouldering fire.
We really liked the idea of using the natural cover of the countryside to hide your advance by weaving between bushes, trees, sheds and farming equipment to sneak up on your unsuspecting victims. The open nature of the map, with countryside fields and open roads means sightlines are crucial for navigating safely to the town or village so watch your 6!
This initial area requires the player to make a choice between three approaches – to go through the village, the town or a possible third option. Choice has always been a prevalent feature in the Sniper Elite games, and we wanted to continue pulling at this thread to make each playthrough unique. This map is as vast as it is detailed and you’ll find that there are plenty of secrets to discover.
If daring enough to take out the Nazi snipers hiding amongst the heavily damaged buildings and urban landscape, the player is rewarded with impressive views over the ruined streets from which to pick out troops on the ground and plan their advance towards the castle. If you manage to fight your way to the end destination of the ancient Falaise castle, you will encounter a labyrinth of decrepit ruins infested by Nazis requiring close combat stealth and careful, deliberate strategy. Konig is the mastermind officer that has holed himself up in his office and must be assassinated. Fight your way to the very top and hoist the flag to signal the allies to liberate Falaise once and for all.
It's been an absolute pleasure to work on Conqueror and we are thrilled that the mission is releasing alongside Rebellion’s 30th anniversary celebrations. In addition to the mission, players will also receive the Drilling Shotgun. This Triple-barrelled Luftwaffe survival shotgun is devastating at close-range and still effective at distance when combined with Slug shells and a precision ironsight. Finally, the Oak Leaf Paint Weapon Skins gives weaponry a great new look that will help players blend into the undergrowth.
It is always a privilege for our team at Flix Interactive to work with Rebellion (and the wonderful Rebellion community!) and we would like to wish the entire team a very happy 30th anniversary. Here’s to another 30!
Playable in both single player and co-op the new free Survival Map called ‘Tide of War’ is also available now to all players. Taking players back to the beachhead town of Colline-Sur-Mer, Tide of War presents an ever-changing challenge as they fight on wide open sands and sea front, through narrow twisting streets and inland into open fields.
The environment can be used to the players advantage to flank enemy forces but beware as it can also work against you. The players will need to use all their stealth, sniping and combat skills to survive wave after wave of oncoming Nazi forces and vehicles.
