Storyline
Sniper Elite: Resistance features a new lead character, Harry Hawker, in a story set in 1944 within German-occupied France. Hawker previously appeared in the cooperative multiplayer mode of Sniper Elite 3, 4 and 5 as the second playable character. The story of Resistance takes place alongside the events in Sniper Elite 5. The plot shows Hawker put against a mysterious new threat known as the Wunderwaffe. The campaign begins with the British attempting to bomb a dam in Nazi occupied France, and failing due to AA guns. Hawker is dispatched to neutralise the guns. Once this is completed, Hawker exfiltrates as the dam is blown up, and returns to his original mission of tracking down local resistance forces. After locating the local resistance, Hawker infiltrates the town of St. Raymond, a city overrunning with Gestapo forces, with the mission to locate a dead drop left by a mid-rank officer known as Vertigo, who was in contact with the resistance before his disappearance. Coded documents are discovered that, when decrypted, show intel about a secret Nazi superweapon project. After infiltrating a Gestapo-controlled hotel and train station in the Lyonese district of Fourvière, Hawker finds out the weapons are a form of a deadly nerve agent known as Kleine Blume. The dam from is being repaired by the Germans. One of the crashed RAF bombers has an operational bouncing bomb, which the Germans are studying. Hawker eliminates all scientists and destroys the technology, preventing mass production of the bouncing bomb. The trail leads him to a Kleine Blume production facility near the southern coast of France, where he finds a way to neutralize the facility. Hawker prepares an assault on Fort Rouge, where he discovers that Kleine Blume is being shipped to a "Vallee des Dieux". Infiltrating the Vallee des Dieux chateau based on the intel from the previous attack on Fort Rouge, Harry uncovered a V1 rocket launch site, witch the allies think is how the Kleine Blume is being deployed by, only to discover a secret facility hidden underneath the chateau, where it is revealed that the weapon would be delivered by a different superweapon: the Zugwerfer, a form of train-mounted…
Gameplay
As with its predecessors, Sniper Elite: Resistance is a third-person shooter. Each level is a large, open area free to explore, and there are often multiple ways for players to approach their objectives. Players can use stealth tactics to bypass enemies, explore the map to find alternate routes, or use lethal firearms to kill enemies. Weapons can be extensively customized. Players can overhear conversations from non-playable characters or explore locations thoroughly to discover novel ways to assassinate their targets. The game features optional quests that players can complete. When the player kills an enemy using a sniper rifle from a long distance, the X-Ray kill cam system activates, in which the camera follows the bullet from the sniper rifle to the target, and shows body parts, bones or internal body organs being broken or ruptured by the bullet. The campaign can be played solo or online with another player cooperatively. The game introduces "Propaganda Mode", which tasks players to complete time-based combat challenges as an unnamed resistance fighter. These missions are unlocked through collecting propaganda posters in the main game. Invasion, the asymmetrical multiplayer mode introduced in Sniper Elite 5, returns in Resistance. The game supports a 16-player competitive multiplayer mode.
