As players go through Sniper Elite 5, they have the option to commence a task from a distinct location. These places are referred to as “starting locations.”
In total, Sniper Elite 5 consists of 8 missions, and each mission has multiple starting locations.
Below, there is a detailed guide to every mission’s starting point.
