Sniper Elite 5 expands upon the gameplay from its predecessor by providing improved graphics and animations, new weapons and gear, and an all-new story. The Sniper Elite 5 campaign is an interesting mix of classic franchise combat and unique character development that helps bring Karl Fairburne's journey into sharper focus.
For fans of the Sniper Elite franchise, playing through Karl's story with friends is an important part of the Sniper Elite experience, which is why it's important to know how to play Sniper Elite 5's co-op modes.
From epic sniping shots to burying enemies in concrete in Sniper Elite 5, the newest installment in this classic franchise delivers awesome campaign moments to players. These moments are even more shocking with friends to enjoy them alongside.
How to Play Sniper Elite 5 Co-op
Sniper Elite 5 has two separate co-op modes. The first and most prominent is the co-op campaign, where gamers can team up and play through the story together. In order to begin a multiplayer campaign, players will need to first navigate to the Sniper Elite multiplayer section and select, "play." They'll then need to click, "Host a Co-Op Game." This will create a code that can be shared with other players, allowing them to join their friends' sessions.
Playing the story with another person creates a second file for saving, which means progress is separated from single-player story missions. Playing the story together means players can coordinate their attacks and help one another complete the Sniper Elite 5 mission kill challenges with ease.
Aside from the campaign, however, fans can also get together to play Survival. This mode requires up to four players to defend an area against hordes of enemies, similar to Halo firefights and Gears of War defense modes.
In order to survive, players should invest in unlocking new skills in Sniper Elite 5. Indeed, the survival mode is complex and difficult even with four snipers coordinating with one another. For that reason, it might be best for gamers to work through the campaign before they brave the enemy waves available in Survival.
In addition to the co-op modes, Sniper Elite 5 includes a new Invasion Mode as well, providing players with increasingly unique experiences. The Invasions, which involve other gamers attacking their fellows during campaign missions, are sure to keep fans on their toes.
Along with the multiplayer aspects of Sniper Elite 5, the title brings players into a new phase of the Sniper Elite franchise. As Karl Fairburne's story continues, players will hopefully be able to find new weapons, abilities, and gear that they love, as well as enjoy new experiences that are completely unique to the legendary Sniper Elite franchise of games.
Sniper Elite 5 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
