Sniper Elite 5 has several different game types available to players, including survival modes. Additionally, the game has certain challenging yet uncommon milestones that players can complete and add to their collections. One such is sabotaging the Kraken fuel system in Sniper Elite 5 and unlocking the Hold Your Breath Trophy or achievement.
- You must sabotage the Kraken Fuel System to unlock the Hold Your Breath Trophy/Achievement.
- At the docks, turn off the pressure valves of both submarines, enter the room in the northwest corner, turn off the two fuel pumps, and then use the lever behind the three fuel tanks.
- Leave the U-Boat Pen towards the northeast exit icon, where you must kill a few enemies to escape.
- Cross the bridge, climb the ladder, and wait for the enemies to open the fuel tank shutters at the window.
- Hit the target on the middle fuel tank/pump without using the empty lung ability to complete the objective and unlock the achievement.
- You can also get the I-400 V2 Hangar Hidden Item by entering the Kontrollraum 78 inside Funkraum 84 on your way to the second-story catwalk.
How To Sabotage Fuel System Sniper Elite 5
In Mission 8: Rubble & Ruin, this region is located far north of the map. At the heart of the docks, the first phase of this objective is completed. Two Submarines are berthed here, parallel to one another and connected by a central bridge. The campaign’s final objective where you can earn collectibles is this one. Stone eagles, personal letters, workbenches, and secret documents are all present.
But you’ll have to move across the map quite a bit. Not quite a free mobility type like north to south or east to west, Rubble & Ruin is. As the name implies, numerous ruins and rubble are along the route. This explains why the task could appear to be a maze of corridors.
Turning Off The Pressure Valves
The pressure valves on each submarine can be found near the back. These valve pumps, or control panels can be seen on the left side of the submarine’s control rooms if you decide to go and interact with the docks area from the western side.
These valves must be interacted with for your character to turn them. It’s time to go to the following phase once you have closed the pressure valves on both submarines.
Cutting off the primary fuel storage from the gasoline lines is the next stage in achieving this goal. A door leading to the fueling depot chamber can be found in the northwest corner of the docks.
Three fuel tanks are connected to two pumps, one lever, and this room’s two pumps.
The two pumps must first be interacted with. The game will give you the option to interact with and activate the pumps if you are close enough to them. Your character will operate the levers as a result of the interaction.
The next step is to interact with the lever situated immediately behind the two pumps you have just turned on. This lever intends to overload the system and destroy the submarine. Also, consider reading our Sniper Elite 5 Festung Guernsey Workbenches guide.
Exiting Submarine Dock
Once you’ve exited the Submarine Dock in Sniper Elite 5 and completed the first two phases of sabotaging the Kraken Fuel System, head to the U-Boat Pen’s northeastern exit as it’s about to explode..
Exercise caution as the docks are ablaze, attracting attention. Eliminate three or four enemies blocking the exit. Cross the bridge post-exit, leading to a building. Ascend using the ladder, positioning yourself by a window for surveillance.
In the Rubble and Ruin mission, enemies will cut the fuel line, rendering the Kraken Fuel System vulnerable. Seize the opportunity, finding a high, concealed vantage point to target and destroy the exposed fuel system once the enemies act.
Observing the docks’ shutter opening from the window, take your shot as enemies cut off the gasoline line. Focus on the middle pump, aiming precisely to annihilate the docks through the Kraken fuel system in Sniper Elite 5.
Here is an image for your reference to know where you are supposed to land your shot during this mission phase. Also, the game will use an icon to show you where to shoot.
Your mission would be accomplished once you shot the fuel storage tank, leaving you with a fireworks display to enjoy. While at it, why not go through our Sniper Elite 5 Kill Challenge List guide?
Sabotage The Fuel System & Unlock Trophy
Complete Mission 8: Rubble and Ruin, achieving the Hold Your Breath Trophy by destroying the Kraken Fuel system and hitting St. Nazaire’s Final Shot without using Empty Lung.
To unlock the Don’t Hold Your Breath trophy, sabotage the Kraken Fuel System’s last stage without utilizing the empty lung ability. Aim for a perfect kill shot without holding your breath at the end, and if unsuccessful, retry without repeating the entire routine.
Collecting Hidden Item 3: I-400 V2 Hangar
There is a hidden item that you collect during this mission’s phase. It is not directly connected with sabotaging the Kraken fuel system in Sniper Elite 5, but since you are there already, why not go a little extra mile and collect the hidden item?
- On your way to the second-story catwalk, you must destroy U-boats and enter a secret U-boat prison.
- To enter chamber Funkraum 84, which is at the end of the pen, turn left and proceed inside. T
- here is, however, a smaller space known as Kontrollraum 78.
- You will discover the hidden object once you have moved all four desks to the room’s center.
This Rubble and Ruin Workbench collectible in Sniper Elite 5 will be your final collectible during this quest. However, you still need to eliminate Moller as your final step. Furthermore, even if you have the Kill Hunter season pass or DLC, there is still much to learn.
That is pretty much everything you need to know about how to sabotage the Kraken fuel system. Did you happen to achieve this task plus unlock the trophy or achievement as well? Let us know more of your thoughts in the comments section below.
