Award‑Winning Gunplay
The game reuses the ballistics system from Sniper Elite, delivering realistic bullet trajectories and penetration for a wide range of firearms. This system underpins both standard weapons and those with elemental upgrades.
Players can upgrade guns at workbenches, adding fire, lightning or divine effects to create customized load‑outs for the undead onslaught.
- Experiment with different elemental upgrades to see which work best against armored foes.
- Use the workbench between missions to fine‑tune weapon stats for upcoming challenges.

X‑Ray Kill Camera
The X‑Ray Kill Camera returns, showing slow‑motion dismemberment when bullets, bombs or melee attacks strike enemies. The visual detail highlights bone and organ damage, emphasizing the impact of each shot.
These cinematic moments serve as a visual reward for precise aiming and effective weapon use, reinforcing the game’s over‑the‑top violence.
- Aim for headshots to trigger the most dramatic X‑Ray sequences.
- Combine explosive weapons with the kill cam for maximum visual feedback.
