Ammo

Learn about all the different ammo types in Sniper Elite 5, from Armour Piercing to Subsonic. Choose the right rounds for every situation to maximize your effectiveness.

Alright, let's talk ammo in Sniper Elite 5. Each type has its own specialty, so getting a feel for them all is key to becoming a better shot. You can even unlock skills to add more ammo types to your starting loadout, which you can read about in the Skill Point section. It's not always obvious when to switch, so let's break down what you'll find.

Armour Piercing: This is pretty straightforward. These rounds are your go-to for taking down vehicles like tanks and armored cars. They'll punch right through metal and even rock, making them super versatile. Definitely keep some of these in your bag.

Match Grade: If you're the type of player who likes to pick off targets from way, way out there, this is your round. It's built for long-distance accuracy.

Non-lethal: These rubber-tipped bullets are perfect for when you need to take someone down without killing them. They're quieter than other rounds, which is great for stealth, but they do have more bullet drop.

Soft Point: These are absolute powerhouses against unarmored infantry. They won't get through a helmet, but hit them anywhere else, and it's likely going to be catastrophic. They also have a longer range and less bullet drop than you might expect.

Subsonic: For all you stealth fans out there, these are a must-have for your pistol, and can be useful on other weapons too. As the name suggests, they travel slower, which means less noise. The trade-off is less damage and increased bullet drop because they're in the air longer.

Ultimately, each ammo type has its pros and cons. Being able to pick the right one for the job will make your life in Sniper Elite 5 a whole lot easier. Remember, unlocking extra skills can let you add more special ammo types to your loadouts, so keep an eye on that too!
