is the second chapter and mission in the new three-part campaign for Sniper Elite 4 for 1-2 players.



Agent Karl Fairburne has recovered the ‘Deathstorm’ package – canisters full of deadly plutonium particles. Now he’s been dispatched to the Fascist-occupied north of Italy to find out what the Nazis are planning for their new weapon. The beautiful medieval town of Niroli, now a regional centre for the Nazi propaganda machine and garrisoned with a strong Italian force, holds the key to Deathstorm.

The new SNIPER ELITE®4 content doesn't end there; The URBAN ASSAULT EXPANSION PACK also arrives on April 25th packed with 8 urban-themed rifle skins, male and female ghillie characters and 3 iconic new weapons: the Winchester, Sten and Walther PPK.

In addition, Rebellion have released a HUGE FREE UPDATE FOR ALL PLAYERS packed with new content and gameplay tweaks (see patch notes here:).

A free new map, “Urban”, works across Survival mode and all competitive multiplayer modes, including a returning favourite – Capture the Flag!

Stay tuned for more updates in late Spring and Summer as Sniper Elite 4 continues to deliver fans a compelling flow of free and paid post-launch content.

In our first wave of free new content, we're introducing the Elimination game mode. A 2-team mode for up to 12 players, this is last-team-standing with a twist - you can bring back fallen comrades by taking down your enemies. One kill can make all the difference.

We're also releasing our first free MP map, Night Woods.




New Content

• Free Elimination multiplayer mode, available on all existing multiplayer maps.
  
• Free Night Woods multiplayer map, supports all competitive modes including Elimination.
  
• Support for Deathstorm Part 1: Inception and Night Fighter Expansion Pack.
  
• Updated Achievements

Singleplayer

• Applied various Steam controller fixes.
  
• “Drop Down” added to keyboard bindings for remapping.
  
• Ensured saves don’t occur while the player is in mid-air. Also reduced occurrences of saves next to an exploding vehicle.
  
• Vehicles now resume what they were doing previously when restored from a save, and no longer persist with dead targets. Tweaked tank and pillbox vision.
  
• Fixed various weapon glitches and bugs to reduce chances of players or AI having no visible weapon, or weapons held in the wrong pose or using the wrong animation. Picked-up weapons now retain their skin if that was not the base model.
  
• Scope will no longer allow the player to see through various objects.
  
• Fixed binocular reticule glitch in 3D.
  
• Standing in a bush no longer awards a foliage kill. Also improved the detection for various other stats and shot callouts.
  
• Bullet cams in Eyefinity and other super-wide resolutions should no longer zoom in excessively.
  
• AI now slightly less prone to exploitation by player during investigations. Dead bodies more likely to stop AI running into obvious death-traps.
  
• Applied various fixes for corrupt profiles.
  
• Fixed issues with various challenges:
  
  • No Manual Reloading (Allagra Fortress)
    
  • No Tagging (various)
    
  • Melee Ace (Abrunza Monastery)
• Fixed miscellaneous document on Giovi Fiorini Mansion

Multiplayer

• The server browser can now be sorted on any column.
  
• The “Invite” button will now work when connected to dedicated servers.
  
• Dedicated servers will now be included in matchmaking.
  
• Dedicated servers now support remote connections from the Sniper Elite 4 RCON web interface. See our follow up announcement for more details.
  
• Applied various dedicated server fixes.
  
• Ensured Overwatch characters are restored right way round if starting from a save.
  
• Players will be harder to tag through objects.
  
• Applied various out-of-world and collision fixes to reduce exploits on all maps.

We’re still aware that a small number of people are still experiencing corrupt profile issues. To help us with fixing it, if you see a ‘corrupt save’ or ‘corrupt profile’ error on startup, could you immediately Alt-Tab out of the game and backup your save data to send to Customer Support.
