I was actually in middle of doing this mission in Authentic and thought I'd try get the shot as was in the tower listening to the guys when I remembered that this was the area for long shot. Wow it was difficult but with your video and my 65" screen TV I got it after around 15 trys and on the 3rd bullet. Didn't get a head shot, got liver shot but I didn't care as it was my 1st Authentic Long Shot. It's made me want to go do them all now, well that's after I complete game in Authentic mode first as 1 trophy left from a Platinum.
Dude. I never would have found this one. Didnt even know there were targets outside of the map boundaries. Thank you so much! Btw, you have a very pleasant voice! :)
Thank you! This was so difficult, but I actually had a friend with me that had a larger monitor and was using binoculars to tell me where my shot hit to help me line it up before that perfect shot!
The sniper tower on the far right side of the map above the 'town wall' starting point is another ultra-long shot(longer than this one), you have to be on the extreme far right side outside the tower to see it through some vines. I think it's 1960 distance. I didn't realize there was a rifle for this or that there was a second ladder in that tower... now I have to go try this again.
Yeah, I had a few other people tell me there is another long shot on this map, but I've never checked it out, honestly. It was hard enough for me to get this one. 😆
It took me forever to get to the damn tower. Once in the tower I followed your instructions and killed him first shot. Very good video and instructions!
My pleasure. I appreciate the comment. Apologies for my absence. I'm still in the middle of a complicated house move, so I still won't be back for a couple of weeks yet.
I’m glad you have this video because it IS the most insane “objective” in the base game - I have the loose ends long shot and THAT was stupid. Probs to the devs
You don’t have to climb all the way up if you unlocked the smuggler’s landing as a starting location clear up the area around just a bit then if you look on your map you’ll see the circle on the west side of the map it’s where the staff car is and then run there you should be able to mark them and then you can hit the snipe although it might be a bit harder
Ok so that was for sharpshooter difficulty now for authentic I had an absolute pain trying to do it I seriously had played the map for like 4 hours at the point but I went to such lengths for this that I literally drew lines with a dry erase on my screen to find his position on my screen using the wind meter and the sights and after a while of figuring out how many meters was a line I went to the very start of the map next to the station booth and just peppered at him until I got him for anyone wondering it’s between the 4th and 5th line beneath the crosshairs of the A2 using the exact same custom rifle and the first line off the center of the wind meter on the right for the wind also since his about 1850 meters away going down to the end of the bridge makes it only 1600 which is slightly easier and since the edge of the map from my spot was about 800 meters and I know how much the bullets dropped from that range I just adjusted my sights to double that and hoped for the best
To save time you can get the town hall entrance and go up the eastern side until you climb up the vines on the side of a castle turret, its 1900m.. im yet to hit the shot on authentic with the rifle i brought.. can do it on hard but the bullet drop is insane on authentic but ut it is doable
Kill everyone then attempt the shot…and you can take the gun with you…..go down to the last rampart bridge….and its actually 1930 meters. I also did it with my regular rifle with match ammo…BUT it drops way more then the found weapon.
Couldn't hit that shot at all, but I was able to get the bullet cam at 1480m, That spot is to the right of the bridge down in the sand, Used regular rounds with range set to 1500, Took a couple shots to get it right, They were lobbing like rounds from a grenade launcher, Eventually got it to drop right on his head while he was on the left side of the tower.
@@KnightsArcade I was already in the bell tower so it's still the same dude, I just realized I had no chance there so I tried to see how close I could get. Too bad he isn't there from the start because you can see his tower from spawn, at 1480-1500 the trick is finding a spot where you can see him past all the trees, small windows of opportunity.
My pleasure. I'm glad you found it helpful. Are there any of the other authentic shots you're struggling with? I moved house last year, into a house that needed a LOT of work, so I was away for a while, but I'm back now.
Excellent guide though I never managed to hit him on Authentic using the supplied 1903 - but that's more a comment on my lack of marksmanship than your guide. However, I have succeeded multiple times with my own 1903 and a full belt of matched. Though I needed 3 lines of height adjustment on the reticule rather than your 2. Every time it's been two shots. First a wound, and then the big hit...
Sorry for the late reply, Steve. I've had a very, very busy 6 months. I'm sure you figured this out LONG ago, but he never shows as being "seen" by binoculars in Authentic mode. Only in the lower modes. That's why I usually put some text in my videos to indicate when you're seeing the authentic mode footage and when it's something else. Sorry for the confusion.
@@king_noobie0 I honestly found it by accident. 😆 Then I figured... "Why is there a high powered rifle, with ammo, just sitting here?" So I scouted with my binoculars, until I saw the tower... with the guy on it. Seemed like he must have been way out there for reason... right? So I kept shooting at him. It took me a LONG, LONG time to hit him. 😆
What about shooting out the other window of the bell tower, across the bridge near the start point, at the two soldiers standing by the truck at the far end of the bridge?
My pleasure. I'm glad you found it helpful. I'm not normally what anyone would call a "hardcore" player, but there are two franchises that bring that out in me: Sniper Elite, and Just Cause. In either of those games I just go completely nuts and won't rest until I have EVERY single achievement and unlockable item. I did a "melee only" playthrough of Sniper Elite 4 on stream a few years ago, and with the announcement of Sniper Elite: Resistance, coming next year... I think I'm gonna do a Melee Only playthrough of SE5 on stream soon. Sorry... you caught me in a talkative mood. 😆 Thanks for watching.
@@thepirate694 the first time trying that shot on authentic the rifle on the crate had a different scope and a max range of 600m. I just kept resetting until I got the setup then saved the game. Finally pulled it off but what a pain.
Great shot in any other level than authentic. In authentic there’s nobody in the tower and the mind is so high I can’t scroll down far enough (raise my rifle high enough) to get a reticle back. Also, the power rifle say it has four rounds until you pick it up, then it changes to 3, WTF?😊
@@Bodhi1satva There definitely SHOULD be someone in that tower. There was for me, every time. And quite a few other people have commented that they made this shot after watching this video. I don't know why there isn't someone there in yours. Sorry to hear that.

Thanks, Knight! Hah! I'd found that eavesdropping room but missed that last ladder! And wow! That's the HARDEST long shot??? It was a BREEZE! Headshot, first attempt.
Yeah thats insane i literally got my face in the fuckin screen shit i even i out tape in certain spot and nah i cant even see where the damn bullet goes, iv spent a week doing this and yeah its not even worth it shit i dont even think theres an achievement for doing all of them in authentic and if there is fuck that achievement lol 😂 but good on ya for actually being able to make that shot

LOL you used a real life spotter for Sniper Elite 5,
My pleasure. Glad you finally got it.
@@thewise0ldman it was funny. Because he was watching me shoot and just was like "oh that was close." And then started helping me. It was really fun.

I appreciate you sir, thank you. I find the longshots on authentic quite challenging except for mission 9
My pleasure. I appreciate the comment.
Apologies for my absence. I'm still in the middle of a complicated house move, so I still won't be back for a couple of weeks yet.
this was my last gold medal in the game! i could not get it. but your explanation did it for me!! thanks
No worries. I'm glad you found it helpful.
Thanks for watching.
This was the only long shot I had to look up. No way would I have ever thought to look for the guy way out there...
Yup. It's a nightmarish find. It took me forever to find this, and several hours of trying to make the shot, the first time.

I did it today. In one shot thanks to UA-cam . U can just do a manual save just before u shoot so u can reload the game if u miss etc.
Nicely done.
Great kill. My longest shot from that tower was 1852m!
If I could, I would thumb up this video TEN THOUSAND TIMES!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 😄😄😄😄🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

In this mission there is guy in white car who change position driving to different places
What's up with him?
He’s got some paperwork on him. He parks up at the Abby for awhile
The Gold only calls for 675m; have we all missed a way to do this under that long tower shot?
Seems likely. I've been through that island dozens of times and can't find another option.
What about shooting out the other window of the bell tower, across the bridge near the start point, at the two soldiers standing by the truck at the far end of the bridge?
Just did a 1855m headshot with 8x scope... Jeeez, have felt like a god for a moment xd
Nice job!

@KnightsArcade yeah I completely understand that it's the same with me and Halo and the payday franchise
I sat there looking through the binoculars scanning for 10 minutes and he never showed up. So I gave up and moved to the next long shot. Frustrating
You only able to see the guy on the tower, when you pick up/use the rifle on the the crate.
Then use the binocular, he will showed up
