Acquiring information about the enemy base | Mission 2 - Gaberoun Sniper Elite III Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The mission begins in the south-west part of the map (point 1 on the map). Carefully approach the first watchman and eliminate him in close-quarter combat. Stop by the vantage point. It would be wise, as the game suggests, to take out your binoculars from your inventory and scan around the area. If the selected difficulty level allows you, it's worth to mark the nearby enemies, allowing you to easily trace their movements. Otherwise, try to memorize their approximate positions (some of the enemies aren't stationary and they move around the base).
The soldier you've eliminated in the beginning of the mission worked with a damaged energy generator (point 2 on the map). In the further parts of this mission you will stumble upon several of those generators, and it's worth to sabotage them. Each damaged in this manner generator will, from time to time, cause quite a racket. The noise is symbolized by a special icon, which can be seen on the above image. You can use the noisy generators to your advantage - during those incidents, you can shoot your sniper rifle freely, without worrying about the enemy soldiers hearing your gunfire. For now, remain on the hill and eliminate nearby enemy soldiers (start with taking care of the sniper located on the nearby tower, because he has a wide range of view).
Depending on your personal preference, you can wait for subsequent generator restarts and successively eliminate the enemy troops from afar, or after dealing with those who posed the biggest threat head towards the tent in the encampment (point 3 on the map). A single, lone soldier resides in the tent, who must be eliminated - preferably in close combat. Afterwards, examine the body, which should award you with a War Diary - Intel: Officer Assignments and a new set of goals.
