Where to find Sniper Elite: Resistance's propaganda posters to unlock Propaganda mode




When you begin your career in Sniper Elite: Resistance, you can hop into almost any mode, whether it be the level-based campaign or the competitive multiplayer. The new Propaganda mode, however, is locked off, and you're going to have to do some work to unlock it.
