01 / THE GUIDE
Campaign and Co‑op Play
The main storyline follows Harry Hawker and the French Resistance as they hunt a new Nazi super‑weapon. Objectives feature multiple kill‑list targets and varied infiltration and extraction points, allowing players to shape their approach. The entire campaign can be played in co‑op, letting two players share weapons, items, and revive each other after being downed.
Co‑op partners can coordinate tactics, exchange gear, and support one another during intense firefights, ensuring both players stay in the action. This mode emphasizes teamwork while preserving the series’ stealth‑focused design.
- Communicate entry and exit routes with your partner to maximize infiltration options.
- Share ammunition types that suit each other's weapon loadouts for efficient takedowns.

X‑Ray Kill Cam
The signature X‑ray kill cam returns, displaying the internal damage of each signature shot in slow motion. It now includes SMGs and pistols, showing multiple bullet impacts and bone fragments. This visual feedback highlights the destructive power of well‑placed shots and reinforces the need for precise aiming.
The cam activates for every qualifying hit, providing a dramatic view of how bullets interact with enemy anatomy. Players can use it as a learning tool to understand bullet trajectories and the effectiveness of different weapons.
- Observe the cam to gauge how different ammo types affect enemy armor.
- Use the visual cue to refine your timing and aim for maximum impact.

Weapon Customisation
Players can equip a range of authentic WWII firearms, including franchise staples and new additions. Workbenches scattered throughout the campaign let you modify rifles, secondaries, and pistols with scopes, stocks, barrels, magazines, and more. Selecting appropriate ammunition—such as armor‑piercing or non‑lethal rounds—further tailors each weapon to the mission.
Customization impacts handling, range, and damage, encouraging players to adapt their loadout to specific objectives. The system rewards experimentation, as different configurations can better suit stealth or aggressive playstyles.
- Match ammo type to enemy armor for efficient eliminations.
- Adjust stock and barrel settings to improve stability for long‑range shots.

Propaganda Missions
Hidden Propaganda posters trigger special missions where players assume the role of a French Resistance fighter. These scenarios emphasize sneaking, sniping, and time‑sensitive objectives aimed at disrupting Nazi occupation. Completing them contributes to the broader narrative of undermining enemy control.
Each mission presents unique challenges that test stealth and precision, offering a distinct experience from the main campaign while reinforcing the resistance theme.
- Prioritize silent takedowns to preserve the mission’s time limit.
- Use the environment for cover to avoid alerting nearby guards.

Beyond the campaign, the game offers competitive 16‑player battles where players earn XP, medals, and ribbons. Axis Invasion lets an opponent invade a player’s campaign as an Axis sniper, creating a cat‑and‑mouse dynamic. Survival mode pits up to four players against waves of enemies, emphasizing cooperative endurance.
These modes provide varied online experiences, from PvP duels to team‑based survival, catering to different play preferences while retaining the series’ tactical focus.
