Sniper Elite V2 Walkthrough Part 1 – Prologue

Things are simple enough, using the right thumbstick to get a feel for looking around using the binoculars. The moment you enter zoom you can hear Fairburne's breathing. Look around at the building in front of you. Once you are certain there are no enemies in there, click the thumbstick again to exit the binoculars.

Move forward and up the rubble into the building in front of you. Climb into the building. After the fade to black, you are prompted to plant a mine for later. Hit the Use Item button at one marker then head over to the opposite door and hit it again to finish rigging the mine.

Time to get some practice moving in stealth. Head on forward in a crouch over to the far car. Once there, turn to the right and throw a rock, selected from inventory, forward. This will lure the soldiers by the door away from it, allowing Fairburne it creep inside. With that completed it is time to learn how to go prone. Hold the crouch button and crawl through the gap in the crumbled timbers in front of you.

On the other side, you learn more about using cover. Once in cover, move over to left edge. Now, select your pistol, emerge and fire, aiming at the soldier's head. Take him out then you are over his body. Select the land mine and plant it on the body. Move over to the next marker that is beyond the wrought iron fence that you need to hop over.

Time for you to make your first shot. Listen to what Fairburne has to say as all modes of difficulty need to consider at least some of tips he is giving. Target the Russian contact first as he will actively try to run away if you hit the German first. The German seems make for some cover nearby that still affords Kurt a very clean shot at him.. Now, once you are looking down the scope and are about to fire, be sure to use Focus Time to get a better zoom and slightly more time to line up your shot. More than anything,  aim for the upper torso, neck or head. All those are certain kills. Pop the Russian and then take out the German. When they are dead, it is time to exit the scene. The German support will start firing on your location. You can either stay and fight it out some or start running. Head back across the room and onto the balcony opposite of where you took the shot.

As you emerge onto this balcony, a German soldier will investigate the body you trapped earlier. Slip up to the railing on the balcony after you drop down and take out the other soldier that is in the courtyard below. Once he is dead, head over to the right and drop down. Run over and vault the fence once again.

In the courtyard you first start for the large opening to the left. As you approach it through a tank will come breaking into the courtyard, ready to fire on Fairburne. Turn around and head behind the crates in the back left of the courtyard from where the tank crashed through. Go prone and crawl back though the house here.

When you are reaching the street then you will hear more Germans running around. One will set off the trip wire mine from earlier. There are still 4 more in the area that are standing between you and your exit. Crawl forward to the door and take cover against the right-hand side wall. Switch over to your pistol and quietly take out the patrolling German. When the stationary soldier moves to investigate then take him out as well. This can also cause 2 more soldiers to appear. Once they do then retreat inside the building for a moment so they will not see you. Take them out slowly, one at a time. Once they are down then it is safe to cross over to the hotel. Take a moment, if you would like, to search the bodies for more ammuition. Still, be quick as more Germans will start firing from the second floor of the building opposite the Hotel.

Once inside the hotel, head up the stairs and turn around. Directly across from Kurt, through the window next to the flag, on the dresser is the first Bottle. Aim and fire at it. Take out the Germans there as well to make your life a lot easier. With that, head forward and through the doorway to the left. Any soldiers in the far building will reveal themselves and start firing on you, if you are visible. Kurt can easily avoid that by crouch or crawling to the marked doorway to the left.

Once you make it through the doorway, drop into a crawl. There are a number of soldiers below and 2 snipers opposite you. The first is almost directly across from you. This building has some yellow on it. The second is in a building about 1000 meters away just to the left of the first sniper. You will notice the sniper is about level with the Red Nazi flag to the left. After them, there is only a a soldier or two on the ground below. Take them out then vault over the wall.

Completing this mission will unlock the Colt M1911.
