Stealthing is one of the core mechanics of Sniper Elite 5, as you will have to remain unseen while you take down your targets. In this guide, we will explore more about the stealth ability in Sniper Elite 5.
How to Use Stealth and Avoid Detection in Sniper Elite 5
If you wish to stay undetected, you will have to explore your stealthing abilities to help you get past the tough levels. Here we will see how to go about it in Sniper Elite 5.
There are plenty of things you should keep in mind to pull off a successful cover. First and foremost, the amount of noise you make will alert others of your presence. You can try to hide the sound of your gunshots by masking it with loud surrounding noises, like jets flying overhead or vehicles starting up. If it seems impossible to cover it up, then close combat is your only option. You can use softer flooring like carpets and grass to muffle your footsteps as you approach them.

If you think that you are somewhat closer to your enemy’s field of view to shoot down your target, you will have to relocate by using your surroundings as cover. Tall grass and other objects like buildings and vehicles can give you ample cover as you try to get a better vantage point. But after you have eliminated the target, you will have to either leave the area or leave with the body, since a dead or unconscious soldier will draw in other enemies.
Silencers and crouching while you get from place to place will help you out greatly. While silencers don’t completely silence your gun, you can mask the gun shot with some amount of noise cancellation. Having silencers will also not give your position away so easily. And crouching instead of walking or running will avoid detection, but it can be rather slow.
And last, use distraction to bring the enemy towards or away from you. You can toss objects or blow your whistle to avoid detection, as they will most likely go to investigate the noise source without aggression. Using explosives at random spots can also confuse the enemy, but can get more aggressive and will try to find out your location quicker.
