While players enjoy thenew Invasion Modeand come closer to stopping Project Kraken, several trophies and achievements can be unlocked along the way - one is dedicated specifically to annoying the game’s main antagonist, Abelard Möller, by blowing up his brand-new car, while another sees to put him down for good by having players kill him with a headshot in the game’s final mission. This guide aims to make that feat as easy as possible, so players canunlock the Brains of the Operation trophy / achievement.
Preparing For A headshot
Sniper Elitecan prove to be quite difficult for players that are new to the series - the Nazis are a formidable threat no matter the difficulty, and a single missed shot can see them scramble and quickly surround the player to fill them with bullets. Thankfully, there are quite a few useful additions to the series alongside returning features that can make scoring a headshot easier.
Where Is Möller?
Players will finally come face-to-rifle-scope with Möller inMission 9: Loose Ends.
As the cutscene ends, players will immediately gain control of Karl as he’s perched on a cliff some distance away from Möller - if they act quickly andzoom in with their rifle, they’ll watch as Möller exits the building from a white door on the right; there are several other enemies in the area, but Möller is recognizable thanks to his distinctive hat and uniform. To verify they’reshooting the right man, though, players can use their binoculars and ‘scan’ enemies in the area to learn their names.
Players can’t move in this mission - they can lie down to stabilize their shot, but getting closer is out of the question. Möller will stand still for a few moments before getting into his car, however, and that provides players the perfect moment to strike - aim for the top of the head, activate ‘empty lung’ mode, and shoot - the Brains of the Operation trophy / achievement will unlock if the shot successfully splattered the Nazi’s brains.
Sniper Elite 5is out on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.
