Airborne Elite Pack
Free to all players, the Airborne Elite Pack is a celebration of all things British and marks Rebellion’s 30th anniversary. It gives players the stunning Lee No.4 rifle, an iconic Parachute Regiment Character Skin for Karl and a Union Jack Weapon Skin for the Welrod pistol.
The Lee No.4 is a British bolt-action rifle that was famous for its ergonomics and ability to lay down shots rapidly via the ‘minute man’ hold, a special grip used to grip the bolt to reciprocate the bolt extremely quickly. It offers the shooter great stability, accuracy, and with a 10-round magazine, is very versatile with the powerful 303 British round.
Combine this with the Parachute Regiment Character Skin and Union Jack Weapon Skin for the Welrod to complete a distinctly British military look.
Included in this pack:
• Lee No.4 Weapon Pack (Rifle + Attachments)
• Parachute Regiment Character Skin (Karl variant)
• Union Jack Weapon Skin for Welrod
Conqueror Mission, Weapon and Skin Pack
Released today, Conqueror is a thrilling new mission for Sniper Elite 5. The retreating Nazi forces have dug in to make their last stand in the town of Falaise. They are using the historic castle which was once occupied by William the Conqueror as their strong hold. Players will have to breach the castle walls and take out the Nazi General who is hidden inside, before signalling the Allied Forces that they can begin their assault.
In addition to the mission, players will also receive the Drilling Shotgun. This Triple-barrelled Luftwaffe survival shotgun is devastating at close-range and still effective at distance when combined with Slug shells and a precision ironsight. Finally, the Oak Leaf Paint Weapon Skins gives weaponry a great new look that will help players blend into the undergrowth.
Included in this pack:
• Conqueror Mission Pack
• Drilling Shotgun Weapon Pack
• Oak Leaf Paint Weapon Skins
