Sniper Elite 4 remains among the best stealth games available thanks to its open-ended gameplay and strategic elements. There are multiple ways to complete a mission, from using the sneaky approach, going in loud, or creating environmental accidents to take out targets.

As a game designed to be played and replayed, Sniper Elite 4 has a lot of longevity. Players are still returning to the game even after the launch of the well-received Sniper Elite 5. However, for the less patient gamer, there are PC-only cheat codes for Sniper Elite 4 that can make the game even more flexible.

Unfortunately, there is no way to activate these cheats on the console versions of Sniper Elite 4. As these cheat codes are PC-only, there are specific steps one must take to activate them. The steps are as follows:

  • Start Sniper Elite 4, and on the menu screen, place the cursor over the Log In option.
  • Players need to type in a Profile name of their choice.
  • Instead of creating a profile name, players need to enter the cheat codes.
  • Start the game, and activated cheats will work in the missions.

As mentioned above, instead of entering a real profile name in the login section, players need to enter the following cheats:

  • reb00: This code will activate the cheat menu when Pausing Sniper Elite 4.
  • Stealth: This code will silence all of the protagonist Karl Fairburne's rifle shots.
  • Panzer: This code will turn all of Karl's rifle bullets into explosive rounds.
  • Ratbomb: This code turns all rats into walking explosives. Unfortunately for the rats, they are also explosive when shot.

Of course, a game like Sniper Elite 4 shines when it puts the player into seemingly unwinnable situations. The game shares many similarities to the Hitman series and Splinter Cell, as these games require thought and planning. However, using the cheat codes above can create some fun scenarios for players. Using the explosive bullets with the sniper rifle can create some interesting effects with the game's X-Ray vision.

The silenced rifle shot removes the need to mask Karl's gunfire with loud noises and explosives. Using the Stealth cheats means that players can tackle missions quietly in Sniper Elite 4, making Karl undetectable to the enemy. Finally, explosive rats can create several opportunities for players that don't feel empathetic to poor critters.

Sniper Elite 4 is available now for the PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
