Sniper Elite
About Sniper Elite
Sniper Elite puts you in the role of a precision marksman on a mission to eliminate high-value targets from long range. Zoom in on your target, account for distance and movement, and squeeze the trigger only when you have a clear shot. Each mission places you in a different environment with specific targets to eliminate, with enemy patrols adding pressure throughout.
Sniper Elite runs entirely in your browser with no download required, and supports touch controls on mobile browsers for iOS and Android. Missing a shot alerts nearby enemies and makes the rest of the mission harder, so patient, methodical shooting is the key to earning the highest rating on every level.

Precision Sniper Missions
Sniper Elite's missions escalate in difficulty as wind compensation and moving targets become more common on later levels. Enemy patrols react to a bad shot by converging on your position, so completing a mission cleanly — without alerting anyone — earns the highest rating and keeps you out of unnecessary firefights.
Tips for Winning at Sniper Elite
Hold your breath with SHIFT right before taking a shot to steady your reticle, especially at longer distances where a shaky aim throws off your accuracy. Lead moving targets slightly ahead of their direction of travel rather than aiming directly at them, since your shot needs time to reach its target. Reposition with WASD after a shot if your current angle is compromised, rather than staying in a spot enemy patrols are likely to search.
