All it does is prevent you from carrying a proper rifle. Playing without aim assist on, it doesn't do anything a scoped pistol can't do (it's actually less accurate, because wind and gravity have a greater effect on rifle bullets in game). I hate the DeLisle, even though others love it. Now we have the far, far worse Derringer, too. The fact it guarantees a one shot kill vs standard infantry makes it better than the Nambu, in my opinion, which isn't really good at anything. The Webley is fun though, even though using it alerts half the map.

The Gustav is just in the same category as the MP40, for me - useable, just not good enough in any one area to bother picking it. Accuracy, Welgun or M1A1 if you only use iron sights. The maps are gorgeous and massive (maybe a bit too massive), and would be perfect for the strength of the Sniper Elite series to be embraced, but it’s not.The Gustav is very average, which probably does make it pretty useless in the sense that depending on what you prioritise, there's always something better. I want to snipe, but I can’t because there’s just no where to snipe.

I’m tired of sneaking behind enemies, avoiding silenced guns because they still make noise (so what’s the point?), and slaughtering most of the maps with my MP40. Not Sniper Elite.Įverything in this game is so grossly unsatisfying. If I wanted to play a stealth game, I would go for Hitman or Metal Gear. Sniper Elite 5 includes the option of additional purchases in the way of a Season Pass, or, at launch, an extra downloadable mission called Wolf Mountain, where. Instead of sniping being the focus, stealth is the focus, and even still, it’s not very well done. Even the few positions that there are, the devs seemed to purposely limit players’ sight, like some of the towers in Spy Academy. I love the great vantage points overlooking large portions of the map. When I play a Sniper Elite game, I want to snipe.
