  • What is Invasion Mode and can I turn it off?

    Invasion mode is a brand new style of gameplay in Sniper Elite 5 that allows you to 'invade' another player's game as an Axis Sniper, or be 'invaded' as an Allied Sniper.

    The invading Axis Sniper will have the sole aim to eliminate the player while the Allied Sniper will gain an extra objective: take out the invader.

    It will also be available in co-operative play increasing the challenge for the Axis invader as they now have two Allies to track down, but offering greater rewards.

     

    Can I turn it off?

    Yes, it will be possible to turn it off if you would prefer a solo experience!
