Difficulty levels | Hints Sniper: GW2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The game offers three difficulty levels: easy, medium and expert. If you're a fan of achievements, there's one for each difficulty, though you will gain all of them for at once for the highest one. The biggest difference between the difficulty levels is the red marker which helps in shooting, as it gives you a hint as to where the bullet will hit.
Easy level - enemies' reaction time is the slowest, giving you much time to correct your shot. The number if hints regarding tactic and gameplay is the largest during the game. A red dot will be displayed on the screen, showing where the bullet will hit. Additionally, locations of all the enemies will be displayed on the mini-map.
Medium level - a balanced gameplay in which enemies' reactions are faster and more aggressive. All hints from the easy level are retained, including the red dot showing where the bullet will hit and locations of enemies on the mini-map.
Expert level - enemies react very fast and hints received during the game are limited. The dot showing where the bullet will hit is disabled, forcing you to consider the strength and direction of the wind and distance to the target. The mini-map doesn't include locations of enemies.
