Rebellion has fired out Sniper Elite 5 update 1.13, and this seems to be a significant update based on Rebellion’s tease about it from yesterday. Check out what’s new in the Sniper Elite 5 October 25 patch notes.
Sniper Elite 5 Update 1.13 Patch Notes | Sniper Elite 5 October 25 Patch Notes:
Update: Rebellion has released the official patch notes! Players will see a new free map released, new cosmetic items, and the gameplay changes too.
Up Close and Personal, the latest content from Season Pass One, delivers two new weapons (the Win & Co 1885 rifle and ERMA.36 submachine gun) and a tank top skin for both Karl and Monika.
Release the Kraken!
The new Kraken’s Lair map takes players back to the Nazi submarine pen from the Campaign as it becomes a new battleground for multiplayer conflict. Overhead walkways offer great vantage points for sniping, while you can also fight it out on the decks of the submarines and in the tight, confined spaces of the corridors.
New styles and Weaponry
Up Close and Personal includes two new high-powered weapons as well as a new ‘Tank Top’ look for Karl and Monika. The Win & Co 1885 is a heavy-hitting rifle that, despite its restricted rate of fire, houses an enormous .50 calibre 50-110 round which can eliminate any enemy with a single shot.
This is complimented by a new submachine gun, the ERMA.36. Featuring an integral suppressor and high muzzle velocity, the ERMA.36 is a heavy but powerful stealth SMG.
What’s included in the Up Close and Personal Weapons and Skin Pack?
- Win & Co 1885 – Weapon Pack (Rifle + Attachments)
- ERMA.36 – Weapon Pack (Submachine Gun + Attachments)
- Tank Top – Character Skin (Karl and Monika variants)

Unfortunately, the official patch notes haven’t been released just yet, though we’re expecting that to change soon. The latest title update released before today was the Concealed Target patch back in September, and it included a host of new stuff.
Once we know more details regarding this patch, we’ll update the post ASAP.
Update: Official patch notes have been released.
