Mission 1 - Schoneberg Convoy - p. 2 Sniper Elite V2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Objective 4: Plant explosive charges on the path of the convoy
Plant the first explosive charge [#9] on the marked wall. The further part can be completed in two ways - the first one requires some more accuracy with the silenced pistol and the second is slightly more dangerous.
2nd charge: Back street
Enter the narrow street leading to the back of the building [#10a] - there you will find a number of windows which you can use to head inside. As you land on the floor, the soldier by the main door will decide to investigate the source of the strange sound. Depending on which window you head through, you will have to either wait for him or find him yourself (it might happen that he will decide to investigate the street instead).
2nd charge: Main street
The road is very simple - slowly head towards the soldiers [#10b]. When you're close enough, eliminate him with a pistol - try not to miss.

Objective 4: Plant explosive charges on the path of the convoy, part 2
There are still two more Germans sitting inside the cafe - you can kill them with one bullet. Head towards point [#11] and stand in such a place that you have them both in line of fire. After clearing the area, just plant the explosive charge on the truck [#12].
Objective 5: Head to the observation point
Time to choose a proper sniping point. Head to the marked building at the corner of the street [#13]. Very carefully move towards the stairs - on your way you will have to go through a hole in the wall of the room in which a couple planks are burning. Slowly go up the stairs - you will find the first German sitting on a chair. Kill him with the pistol.
Before heading outside, stop before the door - on the roof of the building which can be seen from this spot you will find a sniper (distance: ~108m, headshot: first scale). After killing him, another German will come un running so look out. Wait for him to enter the room and kill him.
| Wine Bottle! 1/2 - On the roof of the building nearby the sniper. |
Head further up - after going up another set of stairs you will come across an ammo crate. The further road is blocked by a wardrobe - climb it and afterwards the upper room. A cinematic will play, showing the arrival of the convoy.
| Gold Bar! 9/10 - On the chair inside one of the buildings on top of the building. |
Objective 6: Shoot the explosive charges to stop the convoy
There are two possible moments when you can shoot the charges - either when the armoured vehicle will drive beside them, or when the second truck does (together with the man you need to kill). If you decide to destroy the trick, a tank and German reinforcement will arrive at once. Additionally, you will later on have to get rid of the armoured vehicle by shooting its gas tank. If your shooting skills aren't very good, it's better to destroy the truck. If on the other hand you like to shoot, go with the armoured vehicle. You however need to remember that Kreidl needs to die before he can get away! One way or another, a fierce shootout is about to begin.
Kreidl - distance from target: ~100m+
| Wine Bottle! 2/2 - On the advertising column on the street on the right. |
When the tank arrives, you can try to shoot its gas tank - though in such case you will have to lean out a bit more and the tank might be able to attack you. The best choice is shooting the second explosive charge marked on the above screenshot. It's also worth to eliminate the German who shoots at you from the opposite window rather quickly (he's been marked as well). Search Kreidl's body for intel.
Objective 7: Search Kreidl's body for intel
After clearing the area, run downstairs.
| Gold Bar! 10/10 - Right beside the door to one of the rooms, while going down the rubble. |
Run to the street and find Kreidl's body around [#12] - as you approach them, two soldiers will arrive from behind the corner - get rid of them. If you haven't destroyed the armoured vehicle before, be very cautious now. You will probably be on the line of fire and have to shoot its gas tank.
Objective 8: Leave the area
After obtaining intel, head towards the marked building [#14] to end the mission.
