Rebellion has released a brand new gameplay trailer for its next installment of the World War 2 sniper simulator, titled Sniper Elite 4 101 trailer.

As the title suggests, this 6-minute video goes over the essential features and details we need to know before getting behind a sniper rifle and removing Nazi brains from their Nazi bodies.

We get an extensive look at the game’s campaign, which can be played alone or with a friend. Karl Fairburne (and some other sniper man I guess) works together with the Italian Resistance to bring down a new devastating weapon that could stop the Allied invasion of Italy. Levels will be even larger this time, ranging from fishing villages to whole mountain ranges, allowing for exploration and “epic long shots”.

Speaking of shots, combat has also been tweaked to include more robust melee and close range fighting (which now have their own x-ray kill cams). However, passing a bullet through the eye of a fascist soldiers from 300 meters away is still way more rewarding. Players will need to learn to adapt to changing weather conditions, wind and gravity if they want to become master snipers.

Thankfully, there will be plenty of weapons to experiment with, including rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, explosives and heavy weapons. Players will be able to personalize and upgrade their weapons as they see fit, to suit their play style and mission parameters.

Lastly, the Sniper Elite 4 101 trailer goes over the newest addition to the series – competitive multiplayer. 12 players will be able to snipe each other across 6 maps and 7 different modes. In cooperative multiplayer, 4 players will join forces to fend of waves of enemies.

Watch the full trailer above for more info about weapons, enemies, multiplayer and new game mechanics. Sniper Elite 4 will be out on PS4, Xbox One and PC come February 14.
