Sniper Elite 5 | Rough Landing DLC Mission & Free Trench Warfare Weapon Pack

Snipers,

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.

[h2]Rough Landing Campaign Mission:[/h2]



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!

[h2]New additions to your loadout:[/h2]



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.

[h2]Trench Warfare Weapon Pack:[/h2]



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

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

Sniper Elite 5 | Season 2 Update & Free Content

Snipers,

The time has come.

You seamlessly tackled the gun batteries in Landing Force and took on legions of Axis resistance in Conqueror…but the fight isn’t over yet.

We are delighted to announce that Sniper Elite 5, Season 2 is coming and it’s coming SOON! To celebrate the news, and to reward your efforts on the front lines in Season 1, we’ve just dropped some free DLC to keep you going in the meantime.



[h3]FREE No-Cross Map Landing Zone:[/h3]

For those of you who continue the battle outside of the campaign, the wait for a new No-Cross map is finally over. Revisit the dramatic setting of Landing Zone but this time, there’s a unique twist…

Rather than the central No-Cross map divide, we’re introducing a circular divide to this map for the very first time. In this instance, that means restricting one team to the central part of the village, whilst the opposition surrounds them on all sides.

An array of additional vantage points have also been introduced to allow for more sniping opportunities so neither side should be underestimated. Good luck snipers, Landing Zone awaits…



[h3]FREE Winter Weapon Skin Pack:[/h3]

It’s still pretty arctic in these parts, so what better way to celebrate the cold, than with a FREE Winter Weapon Skin pack. Drape your rifle collection (all current base models and DLC items) in the finest icy skins. Dispatch your foes in cold style!



[h3]Season 2 Update:[/h3]

Whilst we can’t share any exact dates on the upcoming Season 2 releases for 2023, we can tell you that the season will include:

  • 2 Campaign Missions
  • 6 Weapon Packs

As well as this, we’ll be releasing several free Multiplayer Maps and a free weapons pack to keep the Community well-armed. For more top-secret Season 2 related intelligence, including a brand new weapon and map reveal, check out our very first Community update, available now on YouTube:
