Patch 1.5.0


DEATHSTORM PART 3: OBLITERATION is the final chapter in a new three-part campaign for SNIPER ELITE® 4, taking fans back to World War 2 Germany for the first time since SNIPER ELITE® V2 in 2012.

It's in the Bavarian town of Steigerloch, in the heartland of Germany, where the abominable nuclear project known as Deathstorm is being researched. A heavily guarded underground complex is rumoured to lie hidden beneath the sleepy town's hilltop church, with suspicious vehicle activity suggesting the Nazis are planning something big - and soon. Elite agent Karl Fairburne must draw on all his skills to neutralize the facility and bring Deathstorm down, once and for all.
