How do I get involved in the Community Event?
It's kill or be killed in our first ever Sniper Elite 5 Live Event. Think you've got what it takes to join us on the battlefield?
Track the event here: https://sniperelite.com/marksman-event/
Lock and load for Sniper Elite 5’s debut Community Event where we’ll be putting your skills to the test on the frontlines from Monday 11 July, 3pm BST to Monday 25th July, 3pm BST.
How It Works
Simply play as you normally would to contribute to the three targets we’ve challenged you with – if you complete all 3 targets within the two week deadline, the Community will collectively unlock exclusive in-game rewards and more!
Unlike our previous Evil Genius 2 Community Events, this event operates on a point-based system. We’ll reward each of you a set number of points depending on the type of kill you achieve – that’s right, we won’t reward you for just any old kill! This will require patience, precision and above all else, the collaborative efforts of the Sniper Elite community.
Keep an eye on this webpage to keep track of how you’re progressing as a Community, that way you can shift your focus based on which of our three targets needs attention.
The Targets
Invasion Kills - 25 million points
Unlocks P.K Berlin Axis scope for RSC 1918, G43 and Kar98k
Get AI kills in the standard campaign to contribute to this objective or embrace Invasion Mode to unlock max points for taking out your Axis opponent:
- Invading Player Kills - 125 Points
- Allied Player Kills - 50 Points
- AI Killsx10 - 1 Points
Sniper Kills - 130 million points
M81 Ally scope for M1 Carbine and SREM
Put your talent to the test with this objective. Achieve headshot kills across any game mode to earn points - the longer the shot, the more points you will receive.
- Headshot Kills Achieved: (1 point for every 10 metres)
Sharpshooter Kills - 25 million points
25% Discount on Sniper Elite Merchandise from our official Rebellion store.
A sniper's work is solitary, silent and precise. Take out opponents in any game mode to contribute points to this objective. Hit specific body parts to achieve extra points...the testicle shot reigns supreme.
- Testicle Shot - 15 points
- Heart Shot – 5 points
- Any other organ shot x10 – 1 point
The Rewards
If the Community successfully hit the three targets we’ve set in two weeks, you will unlock the P.K Berlin axis Scope, available on the RSC 1918, G43 and Kar98k, as well as the M81 ally scope, which will be available on the M1 Carbine and SREM. These will be accessible to every player on Tuesday 26 July.
Not only that, but you’ll also unlock a 25% Discount on Sniper Elite Merchandise for a limited time via our official Rebellion store.
Joining Fellow Comrades
Don’t forget to tag us in any and all progress reports, photo mode snaps or beyond via our usual social channels. You can also connect with fellow Snipers to share all the latest tips and tricks to succeed via our official Discord server.

That concludes our mission briefing snipers… so prepare your gear, perfect your long-shots and be ready for deployment at 3pm BST on Monday 11 July. The battlefield waits for no one!

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 has the sole aim to eliminate the player while the Allied Sniper gains an extra objective: take out the invader.

Can I turn it off?

How do I create a DxDiag.txt file?
What is a DxDiag file?
A DxDiag is a diagnostic file that helps us to determine what might be preventing your game from working as it should.
It can tell us whether your PC meets a game's minimum requirements, if has the most up-to-date drivers installed, or if it has reported any errors related to the problem you are having.
It contains no personal data other than the name of your PC, and we will delete it from our systems once your case is closed.
How to I create a DxDiag?
- Click the Start menu in Windows and in the 'Search Programs and Files' or 'Run' field search for 'dxdiag.exe' and run the program.
- This will start the diagnostic tool and it will scan your PC. When it finishes click the button which says 'Save All Information...' and save the text file to a location on your desktop.
