Flare Gun Location in Liberation
The Flare Gun in Sniper Elite 5’s Mission#6 “Liberation” can be found in the northernmost part of the mission’s map. Before you cross the barricaded bridge, you’ll see a house with Resistance marking on it. After looking around for a while, you’ll notice there is no normal way to get into the house.
To get into the house, you have to climb the vines located on the side of the house. Once you are inside the house, you find the Flare Gun there.
Apart from that, Rifle Workbench can also be found in the same house, so get your rifle upgrades from there. While discussing workbenches, why not go through our guide on the Spy Academy Workbench locations in Sniper Elite 5 guide.
Additionally, pick up the Panzerfaust as well to blow up the Tiger Tank that will appear as soon you blow up the barricaded bridge. This will save you some Flare Gun’s ammo as well. Panzerfaust can be found just near the location where you picked up the Flare Gun.
Location of Flare Gun In Festung Guernsey
As soon as you start Mission#5 “Festung Guernsey” head north until you reach Fort Hommet. From Fort Hommet continue through the road to the eastern path until you reach the cross roads. After getting there turn left and continue your path along the road until you reach St. Hamilton’s Church.
In St. Hamilton’s Church you’ll find the first Festung Guernsey Workbench and the location of Flare Gun is very near to the location. From St. Hamilton’s Church, move eastwards until you find a couple of abandoned houses.
In one of them you’ll find a Personal Letter and Crystal Radio, and the house opposite to this one will have the Flare Gun.
Flare Guns Location In Secret Weapons
In Sniper Elite 5’s Mission#7 “Secret Weapons” you’ll be able to find two Flare Guns. Follow the main path from your starting location until you see a shack up on the hill. From there, head east until you reach crossroads.
After you’ve reached the crossroads, head north until you see two tanks making rounds on the roads. This is where you have to be extra careful because once they detect you it’s game over.
Carefully approach the tank on the right in the north-east direction. The first Flare Gun of Secret Weapons is just near that tank.
The second Flare Gun can be found while you are completing the main objective of Mission 7 in Sniper Elite 5. After you’ve completed the objective in V2 Assembly and Refueling area, move southwards towards the end of the area after leaving the control room.

Climb the letter near the alarm and horizontal V2 and go to the end of the catwalk. After reaching the end, move left and keep following the path until you see a door. Exit the door and move left after seeing V2 launchpad and climb the ladder.
Upon climbing the ladder, you’ll reach another control room. Open the control room, and you’ll find the Flare Gun near the personal letter named “The V2’s are obsolete”.
Location of Flare Gun In Rubble & Ruin
The Flare Gun In Sniper Elite 5’s Mission 8 “Rubble and Ruin” can be found in the south-east area of the map. In that area of the map, you’ll see an octagonal building with blue eye marker on it.
Enter the building and head upstairs and to the right end of the catwalk you’ll find a locked door.
Now this door can be unlocked by two ways. One is through the hotel key and other is by satchel charge. The hotel key can be found in the chest that you might’ve seen on your way to the room on the same floor. The chest can be opened through a crowbar.
After opening the door, enter the room, and you’ll see a safe. Open the safe, and you’ll find two items inside it. One is the Flare Gun and the other is a classified document named “Flagship Fuel Risks”.

I accidentally found another flare gun on Rubble and Ruin just three nights ago. Can\'t remember the exact location, but I found it on the other side of the church. I know this, because I used it on the church to speed my way across the map to the flare gun you indicated. A couple other levels I have also found additional flare guns, such as the 2nd flare gun on Festung Guernsey, located in the tower of the farmhouse where the Japanese officers bed down (downhill from the church, to the right-side of the checkpoint, as viewed from your map. In short, you missed at least 2, possibly more.
