All 14 Missions Ranked Worst To Best | Sniper Elite 5

brutal Barracuda a Sniper Elite Channel Hey guys welcome back to the channel in this video I'm going to be ranking all 14 of Sniper Elite 5's campaign missions from worst to best so that includes all five DLC missions as well and this video will contain various spoilers so if you haven't played the game yet then consider this your spoiler warning now before we get into it I just want to make it perfectly clear that everybody's ranking of these missions will be vastly different it's all subjective this isn't the definitive ranking this is just my personal ranking of each Mission your favorite Mission might be quite low down on my list that isn't me saying that you're wrong it's simply me saying that I just prefer other missions now with that out of the way let's jump in [Music] so starting us off at number 14 with the worst mission in the game is without doubt loose ends I think we can all agree on that this is probably the only mission that we will all agree on bringing us back to mission two occupied residents we are tasked with finally putting a bullet in abalar M now let's be honest what we actually have here is an epilog it's not a mission you simply sit at Top This vantage point you can't really move or go anywhere and all you have to do is simply kill one person that's it I can't help but feel that maybe something bigger was originally planned for this Mission maybe they were going to reuse occupied residents similar to the way Sniper Elite 3E reused sir Oasis for part one of the save Churchill DLC But ultimately all we ended up with was this pretty disappointing end to otherwise great game I almost didn't include loose ends on this list because calling it a mission is an insult to us all but the game classes it as Mission n so it's on the list it's good for one thing and one thing only and that is seeing how much of a long shot you can get on [Applause] M in at number 13 is Wolf Mountain now of course there's plenty of fun to be had in killing Hitler in various ways impaling a bowling pin into his forehead is probably my personal favorite but that doesn't make up for the incredibly linear map design with only two optional objectives and no kill list Target one of those optional objectives destroying the radio was also an optional objective in every every one of the last four missions of the game so for five missions in a row we're destroying another radio I mean can we please just get a little bit more creative with the objectives exploring the fur's big old house is enjoyable enough as is discovering new ways to kill him but the biggest problem I have with this map is the tunnel choke point in the center that tunnel is the route the Germans use not only is it a bit boring having to go the same way every time we play the mission but it can also be a pain in the on Invasion with car and the Invader on opposite sides of the tunnel usually resulting in a frustratingly boring standoff because nobody wants to go through the tunnel and get their head blown off what this map needs is an extra route going over the top of the mountain as well as the tunnel going through it that would have made this a much more enjoyable map in my opinion next up at number 12 is Fang gy which takes place you guessed it on gery which is part of the Channel Islands and the only British territory to be occup occupied by the Nazis during World War II it sees us infiltrate an underground Hospital locate some stealth plates destroy a huge gun battery and take out a prototype sub now I do love that there are three ways to take out the sub you can drop a satal charge down the vent radio in the Scuttle code or you can create a chain reaction multiple ways to complete objectives certainly helps with replayability one thing I do especially like about this mission is the Nazi propaganda being blasted out over the loudspeakers people the Allied invasion of France will never happen and the Cowardly politicians in London are already begging for peace and although Rebellion did a great job recreating the island of gery and its various locations such as the myus gun battery the underground hospital and Fort hommet all of which can actually be found on gery this mission for some reason just never really clicked with me and I can't quite put my finger on why I think it might be due to the map design currently we can only access the myus Battery area via the underground Hospital entrance or this wooded area I think if this area on the map here was playable and we had another route that we could take to get up to the myus battery I think that would improve it now there is a third route down via this zipline which I believe was added later in an update but I think another route up would have improved this map for me now I know a lot of people like this Mission and I don't think it's a terrible Mission you know I enjoy playing them all but it is just for me one of my least favorit coming in at number 11 is rubble and ruin this nighttime Mission sees us navigate through the streets of the bombed out city of sa Nair before infiltrating the Krakens Lair and taking down a fleet of submarines my main problem with this mission is the way it's split into two parts part one of the mission the bombed out City I very much enjoyed there isn't much really in the way of long range sniping or optional objectives and it's pretty fairly close quarters combat but the the atmosphere that it creates is fantastic from the glowing Embers of the burning buildings to the distant Air Raid Sirens it all comes together to create some great Ambiance it really gives me a taste of what I imagine a Sniper Elite V2 remake would be like imagine a V2 remake a bomb out Berlin with the tech of Sniper Elite five behind it I think that'd be pretty sweet there's also lots of nooks and crannies making this a great map to explore I see you so that's the rubble but what ruins the mission see what I did there is once we enter the Krakens Lair Invasion mode becomes deactivated and what we are left with is a relatively generic submarine base the worst thing of all though is the final shot of the mission we need to shoot the fuel tanks to stop the subs from escaping but I have two problems with this one the subs never actually attempt to leave the base so you have an unlimited amount of time to take the shot which brings us to my second problem being the actual shot itself you have to hit anywhere on one of these massive tanks it's so easy it's ridiculous the Target that we have to shoot should have been very small the camera should have been shaking due to various explosions going off the submarine should have slowly been leaving the base all adding to a sense of urgency it should have been this tense moment but at the end of the day it was just point shoot if this Mission didn't have the subbase and was just one big bombed out City it would have definitely been much higher on this list in at number 10 is war Factory which has us infiltrate an industrial plant that's producing materials for Kraken and we need to put a stop to the production so destroy the furnace destroy the refinery destroy the steel Works our job is to get in and slow down production basically get in and cause as much destruction as possible before grabbing the Manifest and getting the hell out of there now it's not a bad Mission by any means but this one features quite a few interior locations with few opportunities for longrange sniping personally I like my missions to have big Open Spaces with this Mission having hardly any so it didn't stand much of a chance on this list and is why so low down but it does provide plenty of close quarter combat lots of routes to take and a decent amount of objectives which is always a good thing next up is conqueror at number nine which has us eliminate multiple snipers that are guarding the town take out a Target tank and Infiltrate The Castle to kill General Koenig now I do enjoy this Mission as a nice little town to the west and climbing to the top of the castle for some sniping is always fun but it does have huge areas of the map where there are next to no enemies now many of the maps in Sniper Elite 5 lack a decent amount of enemies and they could all do with a few more but here on conqueror it is just much more noticeable a huge chunk of this map really does have very little going on another problem with this map is Invasion often boils down to the Invader camping the top of the castle tower which wouldn't normally be an issue but the top of the tower is also the only exfiltration point and it's a long climb up that ladder to get there if you come across a camping Invader who doesn't want to stick his head out you will have very little chance of success what this really needs is a second extraction point and a lot more enemies in at number eight is Atlantic Wall which has us disabling a radar station and retrieving Intel from a resistant safe house it's got a good amount of objectives such as destroying the beach defenses and taking out the gun battery as well as a decent variety of areas such as the beach the town the battery the radar and plenty of open Countryside there's also plenty of different routes that you can take to Traverse the level now I do enjoy this map and if it wasn't for the fact that I come across it 50% of the time maybe more whenever I invade someone there's a good chance it would have been higher up on this list but due to the overuse of this map during Invasion I am now kind of tired of it luckily I do find this to be a good map for Invasion [Applause] though next at number seven we have occupied residence which has us attempt to infiltrate a huge Shadow to retrieve some Intel from M's office this map offers plenty of different routes to take with three different River Crossings and then multiple ways to enter the shadow which is pretty big and full of enemies but for me the biggest issue with this mission is the lack of objectives there's only one primary objective which is to get the Intel and not including the kill list Target there is only one optional objective which is to locate the three antiques one down found to be more around here so there's not a huge amount to do but it is a great looking map and one of my favorite things about it are the re reinforcements that trigger once you complete your main objective if I remember correctly this is the only mission where completing an objective triggers reinforcements it would be great to see this kind of thing in more missions depending on whether you use stealth or Brute Force much like Sniper Elite fors magazino facility taking out the radar with explosives triggered armored reinforcements but using stealth to sabotage it didn't I would love to see more of that in at number six is Spy Academy at Bowman s which mly considered to be the biggest jewel in Sniper Elite 5's crown and who can really argue it's certainly one of the game's most impressive maps with its fantastic Recreation of Fran's mon St Michelle it really is an impressive feat starting out on a huge beach giving us plenty of sniping opportunities and multiple ways to access the town before switching things up with more close courter combat as we navigate our way through the town's multiple routes towards the huge Cathedral a decent amount of enemies to boot and some great verticality one issue I have with this map though is the choke point right here which is similar to the choke point in the Wolf Mountain mission no matter which of the multiple routes you take through the town the game ultimately forces you to pass through this single gap which I'm not a fan of I like to have multiple routes to take so adding an additional route up would have been a good idea I also dislike the lack of objectives apart from the kill list Target which is located in the same room as the single primary objective there is only one optional objective but overall this map is very impressive and a lot of hard work must have gone into it in at number five is landing Force the game's first real DLC Mission if you don't include the pre-order bonus that was Wolf Mountain heavily inspired by the movie The Guns of Navarone we are tasked with infiltrating a NY controlled Island just south of France housing two huge Naval cannons that we Must Destroy This map contains a good variety of locations such as the base built into the cliff the small town the castle the huge Lighthouse there was also a great mixture of sniping and Close Quarters combat and much like Spy Academy plenty of verticality now this map can suffer in the same way conqueror does with the Invader camping the single exfiltration point which is the lighthouse but it's not nearly as bad as on conqueror and usually actually makes for some great shootouts between kyl and The Invader in at number four is rough Landing which has us travel to the threet of our forest for a brand new objective to locate some shut down Allied Pilots we got to keep quiet there's still Nazis out there and to find and kill hans's Becka I very much enjoyed having to locate and chat to the pilots having friendly NPCs in the mission made a nice change don't worry about me it's the captain those Nazi bastards captured it I would love to see this in more missions it's got some good variety of areas such as the farm The Village the train station the forest and the huge bridge in the center it's also one of my favorite maps to play Invasion on I've had many a great sniper battle in that train [Applause] station but unfortunately a game of invasion can easily be ruined when playing on this map if Kyle decides to camp in any of the locations where there is a downed pilot because the Invader simply cannot access those areas even though the bridge itself was a missed opportunity and I think there should have been an objective to destroy it or disarm some explosives either way I'm still a big fan of this mission in at number three you knew it was going to be fairly high up is cracken awakes which sees us infiltrate a secret Nazi PA under the cover of Darkness to destroy a huge aircraft carrier there are a couple of great things about this Mission first obviously is the aircraft carrier itself which is pretty unique there is nothing else quite like it in Sniper Elite and it's massive it's a level inside of a level the first time I stepped foot in there I was blown away by it and for good reason it's a fantastically designed ship and a joy to explore and secondly this mission is without doubt one of the most difficult missions in the game thanks to its heavy use of various Jager troops instead of having mostly normal infantry and having a few jagas doted about this map has lots of jagers and they can take much more of a beating than regular infantry and let's not forget there are also plenty of snipers to look out for it really is a great DLC mission in second place and narrowly missing out on my top spot is secret weapons a fantastic nighttime Mission which sees us infiltrate a Nazi base to obtain Intel and slow the production of V2 Rockets it's a huge map with a ton of different objectives lots of snipers multiple tanks plenty of different routes to take and a good amount of enemies lots of locations to visit such as the train yard the castle the weapons lab the War Room just to name a few I also like seeing things like the meeting here between the officer and his men and the sniper and tank doing their target practice I love to see things going on around the map that makes the world feel much more alive it was also the only mission in the game up until Kraken awakes released that had us taking Recon photos it's always nice to get some unique objectives other than just destroying AA guns all the time get all the info command need now secret weapons was very very close to taking the top spot on this list it was tough to decide which of these two missions to give the number one spot to as they are both fantastic but as good as secret weapons is I ultimately decided that my personal favorite mission is in fact Mission Six Liberation which tasks us with clearing the way for the US Army Rangers and securing safe passage into the town so they can establish a command post this Mission really does have it all loads of objectives big open spaces some great Vantage points for sniping snipers to take out tanks to take out Close Quarters combat and it's a fantastic map for Invasion it may not be the D-Day map that we expected I would have loved to have seen rebellion's take on the D-Day Beach Landing But ultimately this is what we got and it turns out it's a fantastic Mission if there's one thing I could change that really bugs me about the mission it's got to be that when laying down in these flower Fields it does not conceal you from the enemies like it does when hiding in Long Grass which is very annoying but it is fantastic for sneaking around and hiding when there's an Invader about one thing I would have loved to have seen on this map is Kyle fighting alongside the US army rangers much like when Carl fights alongside the partisans in Sniper Elite fors batan Village but still I think this is a fantastic Mission and the cherry on the cake is this Mission also starts with the best cut scene in the game as our glider is shot down over the French Countryside honestly I wish every mission in the game had an intro like this one does and there you have it my personal ranking of all 14 Sniper Elite 5 missions from worst to best and now it's your turn I am very interested to hear what your opinions are regarding the best and worst missions in Sniper Elite 5 so be sure to let me know down [Applause] below okay
