Because when the going gets tough, the tough get to play.
"Hidden and Brave" Objective / Trophy Guide
If you want to try your hand at this difficult task, the first advice I would like to give you is to deal with it in Co-op together with a friend. The reason is very simple, here is what awaits you while playing Sniper Elite 3 on Authentic difficulty:
- Smarter enemies deal more damage
- wind and gravity heavily influence the trajectory of the blows
- no mini-map
- no indicators on the status of the enemies
- enemies cannot be tagged
- there are no checkpoints, if you die you start the mission all over again
In short, as they say in Oxford, it's a nice mess. But here are some tips:
- always use cover, wait for the enemies to move to make your moves
- always loot the bodies of enemies
- always use a stealth approach whenever possible
- it's a sniper game, close combat hardly ever pays off. Always strike from a distance
- always stay down: life resets, improves aim and enemies will have a smaller target to hit
- if you play in co-op (as recommended) stay close so that you always have the opportunity to revive each other
- if you have lost health, consider having your partner kill you and then immediately revive yourself
