Patch Notes:

Before we dive into the patch notes associated with this drop, we’d like to address the rising discourse surrounding cheaters in Sniper Elite 5. First and foremost, Rebellion has a zero tolerance approach to cheating.

To address some if the frequently asked questions from our varying forums:

• Can anti-cheat software be turned off? It is not possible to disable our anti-cheat service for online play.
• How are you combating the use of new cheating software or technology that allows players an unfair advantage in-game? Rebellion will continue to actively investigate any and all devices or software that impacts gameplay unfairly and will take action against players verified as breaching our Code of Conduct.
• How do I report a cheater in game? We’re sorry to hear you have encountered a cheater. To report them, follow these steps: Select the player you wish to support in the Lobby Menu, Select ‘Report’, Complete the report form and Select ‘Submit Report’. Click here to find out more.
• I also have evidence that someone I was playing with was cheating, how do I submit it? Fantastic. Evidence helps us further verify and take action against proven violations. To send it to us, report them in game (by following the above steps) then head to our Contact Form and provide us with your evidence (10 MB max or via link) and any additional context. If you can, please include your own username and platform as well as the offender’s username and platform (if possible) along with a time stamp of when the violation occurred. Click Here Here for more.

As always, thank you for those who have already been supporting our mission in maintaining safe, fair and fun online spaces for everyone.
