The new Kraken’s Lair map takes players back to the Nazi submarine pen from Sniper Elite 5‘s campaign as it becomes a new battleground for multiplayer conflict. Overhead walkways offer great vantage points for sniping, while the decks and corridors of the submarines reward close combat warriors. This free map is available now to all players in multiplayer.
 
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 caliber 50-110 round which can eliminate any enemy with a single shot. This is complemented by a new submachine gun, the ERMA.36. Featuring an integrated suppressor and high muzzle velocity, the ERMA.36 is a heavy but powerful stealth SMG. 
 
Up Close and Personal Weapons and Skin Pack contains:
  • Win & Co 1885 – Weapon Pack (Rifle + Attachments)
  • ERMA.36 – Weapon Pack (Submachine Gun + Attachments)
  • Tank Top - Character Skin (Karl and Monika variants)
