Main and secondary mission objectives | Hints Sniper Elite III Guide

The game, usually, informs you about any secondary mission goals.

In each and every mission, there's from few to over a dozen primary objectives. Some of them must be done in a strict sequence, but there are those that offer a greater deal of freedom (three enemy artillery settlements distributed around the map, for instance). In those situations, it's highly recommended that you deal with them in accordance with the guide (the walkthrough part of the guide) - this way, you can take the best route to your destination and you won't have to run back to the places, you've been before, saving you a lot of time.

In addition to the main objectives of a mission, there's a number of optional goals to complete, such as sabotaging the enemy installations, or eliminating enemy "elite" troops. It's recommended to look at the mission introduction before each mission walkthrough - with that, you will learn of any additional tasks before you even start the mission, guaranteeing that you won't miss any of the optional stuff.

Collectible cards are one of the game's secrets.

Just as in the previous installments of the series, you can collect secrets and perform minor challenges during your playthrough. These include:

• War Diaries - there's a total of 60 of them in the game. After collecting each one of them, you can read its contents.
• Collectible Cards - there's a total of 20 of them in the game.
• Sniper Nests - there's a total of 22 of them in the game. You must reach and unlock each and every one of them.
• Longs Shots - there's a total of 8 of them in the game. Each mission gives you the opportunity to reach a Sniper Nest, which allows you to perform a Long Shot and eliminate a specific opponent from a very large distance.

Note - information about the secrets and challenges can be found both in the walkthrough part, as well as in the separate sections of this guide.
