From Press Release:

OXFORD (Nov. 29, 2022) – Rebellion, one of the world’s most successful independent video game developers and publishers, is celebrating its 30th anniversary on Sunday and is giving away an early birthday present to all Sniper Elite 5 players to celebrate. Available now, the Airborne Elite Pack reflects Rebellion’s British Heritage by giving players an iconic British Paratrooper character skin, the much-requested Lee No. 4 rifle and a Union Jack weapon skin for the Welrod pistol. Additionally, the final content pack for Season Pass One, including a thrilling mission called Conqueror, is also available now. Players can also claim a new Survival Map called Tide of War for free.

Rebellion Co-Founder and CEO, Jason Kinglsey OBE, said: “We believe that our 30-year anniversary is a great achievement, and we are delighted to celebrate it by rewarding our loyal community with this free content for Sniper Elite 5. We see ourselves as a true British success story, so it made perfect sense for the content to have a strong British theme.”

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 “mad minute exercise,” a special grip used to grip and 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 stronghold. Players will have to breach the castle walls and take out the Nazi General 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 iron sight. Finally, the Oak Leaf Paint Weapon Skins give 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

The Conqueror Mission, Weapon and Skin Pack is available now as part of Season Pass One, costing $34.99, or as a standalone purchase for $9.99. Season Pass One also includes the Landing Force, Concealed Target and Up Close and Personal packs which have previously been released. This latest release concludes the content for Season Pass One.

Tide of War Survival Map

Playable in both single player and co-op, the new free Survival Map Tide of War is available now to all players. Taking players back to the beachhead town of Colline-Sur-Mer, Tide of War presents an ever-changing challenge as they fight on wide open sands and seafront, through narrow twisting streets and inland into open fields.

The environment of Colline-Sur-Mer can be used to the player’s advantage to flank enemy forces but beware, as it can also work against you. Players will need to use all their stealth, sniping and combat skills to survive wave after wave of oncoming Nazi forces and vehicles.
