What is Sniper Elite 3?

A third-person tactical shooter set in North Africa during World War II. Across large, multi-route levels, you scout positions, account for wind and bullet drop, mask rifle shots, sneak past enemies, and use traps or close-range takedowns while sabotaging a Nazi weapons program. It supports solo play, two-player campaign co-op, dedicated co-op modes, and competitive multiplayer.

  • +you prefer patient stealth and carefully planned long-range shots
  • +you enjoy large levels with multiple routes and objectives
  • +you want both cooperative and competitive multiplayer options

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer fast run-and-gun shooting over careful setup
  • −you dislike graphic X-ray views of bullet impacts
  • −you expect consistently capable enemy AI
