How to Complete Sniper Elite 5’s Kill Challenges

These guns are unlocked in that respective order throughout the game. All the guns in the games can be customized in ways that suit your style. 

Mission 1

In the first mission, you are required to kill Steffan Beckendorf in the area of the Atlantic Wall. He does not have a specific location on the map, which makes him a difficult target to get a hold of. Steffan Beckendorf drives around the whole town in a circle. And only stops at three specific locations on the map, which are:

1. Market square beside the southern coast.
2. Moller’s office building. It has a Nazi banner on it. And it is located on the west side of the church.
3. A church, that is located on the eastern side of the map.

You can use these locations to plant a bomb in his car to assassinate him. You can also camp and ambush him while he stops there momentarily. 

Mission 2

To complete this mission in the Occupied Residence map:

1. Start at Chateau Stable, the closest point to the mission.
2. Locate Friedrich Kummler in the ballroom on the east ground floor wing. He’ll be wearing a Gold Sash with pants that have Red-stripes.
3. Your objective is to kill Friedrich Kummler by causing the chandelier to fall on him. No other methods will complete the challenge.
4. Wait for Friedrich Kummler to move under the chandelier or lure him there with a bottle’s sound.
5. Shoot the chains holding the chandelier once he’s underneath it to make it fall on him and complete the objective.

Alternatively, you can eliminate all the enemies in the ballroom, knock Friedrich Kummler unconscious, and then drag him under the chandelier to ensure it falls on him. As long as he dies from the chandelier, you’ll complete the kill challenge.

Mission 3

At the Kraken meeting taking place above the church in the Spy Academy, Fabian Richter is one of the Nazis that is attending. This kill Challenge is also a part of the primary objective of the mission, which makes finding him easy. While you’re at it, consider reading our Sniper Elite 5 Spy Academy Workbench Locations guide.

Making your way up to the church, you can find an officer who holds a key that can open all three doors leading inside. You can find Fabian Richter wearing a grey uniform and get behind him using the sounds of doors and stealth to kill him.

Mission 4

To complete the 4th kill challenge and eliminate Matthaus Elrich in War Factory, follow these steps:

1. Start at the Resistance Safehouse in War Factory, where you will find the rat bomb.
2. Proceed to the room near Matthaus Elrich. Inside the room, look for a white silhouette of a rat.
3. Plant the rat bomb near this silhouette.
4. Wait patiently for Matthaus Elrich to finish his conversation with other soldiers. When he’s done, he will come out and notice the rat bomb.
5. He will shoot at the rat, triggering the bomb and causing it to explode. Matthaus Elrich will be eliminated along with it, completing the objective.

Mission 5

This kill challenge requires assassinating by burying Lanzo Baumann into cement. Otherwise, the kill challenge would not be considered complete. He is located in the Mirus Construction Site on the northeastern side. 

Once you reach there, you have to sabotage the wooden railing along with the concrete machine and perfectly time them so that when he is under, he gets buried in the concrete.

Or you can once again sneak and get close to him to knock him out. Afterward, you can drag his body and throw it into the cement. As long as he dies being buried in the cement, the kill challenge should be completed.

Mission 6

This kill challenge also has a specific condition to assassinate Jaan Trautmann. You have to kill him with poison; only then the kill challenge can be considered complete. 

Once you are on the mission, you have to enter the mansion he is in and look for the poison. When you find it, you need to head upstairs and poison the glass that is near the door.

After the poisoned glass is ready, all you need to do is ring the doorbell and hide. It takes a few minutes, but Jaan Trautmann will come out and drink the poisoned drink. This will lead to his death, and your challenge will be completed.

Mission 7

Dr. Christian Jungers will always be found near the V2 in the Secret Weapon’s Lab. To complete the kill challenge, Dr. Christian Jungers must be killed with the V2.

This can be done by waiting, and when he comes under the rocket to work on the pad, shoot the chain of the rocket to make it fall on him. 

Or, just like some of the other challenges, you can knock out the Nazi Doctor. Dragging Dr. Christian Jungers after knocking him out and shooting the chains afterward to make the rocket fall on him will also be considered as completing the challenge.

Mission 8

Once you’ve finished the Kill Challenge 5, you will have acquired TYPE 100 SMG, which is one of the Japanese weapons in the game. 

You can go to the workbenches in Sniper Elite 5 and select the weapon after you have acquired it. Just head to the location where Shinji Yoshikawa is; you can move towards this objective as you want. Once you spot him, just use your Japanese-type weapon to eliminate him, and the kill challenge will be completed.
