Sniper Elite V2 Preorder DLC Is History Changing

Sniper Elite V2 Preorder DLC Is History ChangingRebellion have just announced their plans for Sniper Elite V2’s preorder DLC, with the results being a battle against one of the ultimate final bosses, the Führer himself.

When I spoke to Sniper Elite V2’s Producer, Steve Hart, back in January; I asked about the possibility of DLC for the game – He was tight-lipped about the subject at the time, but now we can see why.

UK-based gamers can preorder the game from any retailer before May 4th, and receive download codes for three items:

  • Assassinate The Führer mission – The ultimate mission. The ultimate shot. Kill Hitler.
    Intel has been received that Hitler is returning from Berchtesgaden to Berlin via his personal train. Players must intercept the train as it waits at the station and take down the Fuhrer as he hastily makes way for the station on foot. There is only a single opportunity for players to do what so many wish had been done – take out the leader of the Third Reich.
  • Karabiner 98 Kurz weapon – Has the most powerful zoom within the game, which is perfect for long range pin point shooting, if the player can successful master the ‘Empty Lung’ technique.
  • SVT-40 weapon – Has the biggest clip and is semi-automatic, but its lower muzzle velocity will lead to more drop at longer ranges, thus challenging the skilled user.
Sounds like this should be a nice preorder bonus – Hopefully this will be made available to those who didn’t preorder, later on.
Sniper Elite V2 will be released on May 4th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 & PC.
