Switching it up to Sniper Elite only showcased how out of my depth I was. I chose to play the game on Cadet, and still found it to be rather challenging to say that it’s the easiest variant. You can also customize the difficulty, tweaking enemy skill, ballistic realism, and tactical assistance. There’s a range of different difficulties that you can take on from Cadet through to Sniper Elite.
