Fabian Richter is one of the kill list targets appearing in Mission 3 (Spy Academy) of Sniper Elite 5. Reaching him and getting rid of him via a takedown may cause you some problems. This chapter of our guide will help you locate and successfully eliminate this target.
The whereabouts of the kill list target
The target changes his location several times during the mission, but the easiest stop along his path is the the monastery tower. Monastery is also a location where officer meeting takes place (one of the main objectives of this mission) - you can take care of both objectives in one go.
Richter is a Kill List target - eliminating him is optional, but successfully completing the challenge (silent takedown) is rewarded with a bonus weapon (P08).
Killing Fabian Richter
When it comes to this target, the most important part of the assignment is avoiding alerting enemies on the way to him. The reason for this is that you need to kill Richter with a silent takedown. The target cannot be alerted, and you cannot use your weapons.
One of the ways of infiltrating the monastery and its tower is described in detail on Eavesdropping on the meeting and getting the intel on operation Kraken. To be able to complete the objective successfully, you need to obtain the key to the tower and enter the room with the officers unnoticed.
Once you found a good hiding place, wait in hiding to the end of the meeting. The officers will leave the room one by one, while Richter will be last. Throw a bottle to distract Richter (throw it near the stained glass, preferably) Richter will go to check it out and at the same time split up with the other officers.
The last step is to wait for Richter (he should be alone by now) to head towards the exit again. Approach him from behind and takedown him silently.
