In the eighth mission of Sniper Elite 5 (Rubble and Ruin), you have Kill List Target - the Japanese officer Shinji Yoshikawa. The walkthrough in our guide explains where Yoshikawa is in the town hall, how to sneak into this location and how to get a Type 100 or Type 14 Nambu weapon to eliminate the target.
The whereabouts of the kill list target
Shinji Yoshikawa - Kill List Target - can be found in the town hall in the north-west part of the map. You can reach the town hall from the south or the east. You have to be careful during infiltration, because apart from "regular" soldiers, there are also a sniper and an armored vehicle.
To complete the optional challenge, you have to remember about its requirement - use Type 100 or Type 14 Nambu to kill Yoshikawa. You don't need to take the right weapons with you on the mission. One of the required weapons can be found in a room near the mission objective (more in the next section). Completing the challenge will reward you with Type 14 bonus weapon.
Shoot Shinji Yoshikawa with the correct weapon
We suggest approaching the town hall from the south. You don't have to travel on the dangerous and guarded main road. You will find ruined buildings here - using them will get you closer to the mission target without alerting the area.
There is a generator in one of the destroyed buildings. You should sabotage it and make sure you can take marked shots. We recommend that you get rid of the left guard from the picture above. It is best to leave the remaining enemies alone so that they don't start searching the area after noticing the dead body or you killing the guard.
Get to the top floor of the destroyed building (while climbing, make a jump and grab the edge). Thanks to this, you can reach the place shown in the above screenshot.
Killing the aforementioned guard should prevent anyone from seeing you sliding down. After you reach the town hall, use the left entrance immediately.
Remember to sneak while exploring the town hall. It is best to eliminate single guards with takedowns (the radar and focus will help you locate them).
Reach the main room and find the chest behind the stairs. Open it with the crowbar and take the Townhall Office Key.
You have to get to the first floor (note - one of the soldiers may go down to the ground floor in the meantime!). Use the key you just obtained to open the eastern door (do not choose the explosive, because the explosion will alarm the entire building).
After entering the new room, find the Type 14 pistol shown in the picture above - you will use it to shoot the mission target.
Go through the next rooms. Perform a takedown on the first officer and, optionally, a sniper from the room with the mission objective (otherwise he will be alerted by a shot).
Shinji Yoshikawa can be found in the room with the sniper. Aim the Type 14 pistol at his head (picture 1) and fire to complete the challenge.
