“Invasion” is a unique gameplay mode featured in the Sniper Elite 5 single player campaign. It allows another player to enter your game as a German Sniper Jäger. While you are busy playing through the campaign mission, dealing with the various objectives and enemy NPCs, the Sniper Jäger tries to hunt you down. Once another player “invades” your game, you can no longer load a previously saved game. You either turn the tables on the enemy Sniper Jäger and kill them, complete your mission which ends the game, or they kill you. Both teams can use invasion phones to learn about the other players’ locations. The phones are located at various key points on the map. However, using them to find the enemy will also tip them off to your whereabouts. The invading Sniper Jäger has a different set of skills to the main player. They do not have the focus ability which shows hidden enemies as silhouettes. However, the Sniper Jäger can tag other German NPCs and use them as an alarm system.
