How to unlock the True sniper achievement in Sniper Elite 3 - Definitive Guide
Mission 8 is a mix of Stealth Walkthrough (Canyon) and normal stealth "kill all" Playthrough (Hangar). In the Hangar are so many Enemies, and you must kill all and so much can go wrong. You will be detect to 100% there. If you fast enough with the Welrod, it is not a big problem, otherwise you need a really good aim and a good coverpoint. If you have any problems to follow my Walk / Playthrough for the 8th Mission, simple kill all Enemies with Sound Masking, loot the Bodies and go further. Thats the only other easy Option for this Mission.
Facts about my Solo Walkthrough Videos:
- the most time full Stealth
- The routes have been tested multiple times
- The routes are quick and easy (except the 8th Mission with 48min, all other <16min)
- Straight to the target / end of a Mission
- One continuous run (No Cuts!)
- All Cutscenes skipped to avoid spoilers.
- No commentary.
Mission 1 - Siege of Tobruk
Mission 2 - Gaberoun
Mission 3 - Halfaya Pass
Mission 4 - Fort Rifugio
Mission 5 - Siwa Oasis
Mission 6 - Kassarine Pass
Mission 7 - Ponts du Fahs Airfield
Mission 8 - Ratte Factory

also to answer Gouldy1972 - there are no auto save points, you have to complete each mission without dying
would still highly recommend that you still do this in coop as it's much easier then in SP.
CAN ONLY BE DONE IN CO-OP
I found this over on another site posted by a user and i thought i would share it here! ;)
-
I found a glitch (sorry if this was discovered before) that makes Authentic difficulty played in co-op really easy. This doesn't work in solo campaign.
You need to do this:
Multiplayer -> Create private game -> Deathmatch
With this setup:
Score limit: none
Time limit: none
Ballistic realism: simple
Tactical assistance: full
Dagame type: normal
Rifles only: no
Start the game. Play a few seconds, then exit. Now you go to co-op, put any mission you like in authentic and play. You'll play in authentic but with the settings of deathmatch, so is much easier (radar, no wind, etc). You even have checkpoints. Your partner will also have this.
I can confirm you get the Authentic achievement with this, for both players.

He also posted this.
-
You lose the glitch if you die and have to restart a level, but your partner keeps it. If you finish a mission without retries you'll have the glitch in the next mission also.
So, if you lose it, exit co-op and repeat the steps. And yes, everytime you want to play you must do it.
-
And again i didn't find this method.
After reading all the different methods to make it work, none worked for me.
How me and my co-op partner did it was like this.
The host starts a private deathmatch with these settings:
Score limit: none
Time limit: none
Ballistic realism: simple
Tactical assistance: full
dagame type: normal
Rifles only: no
Invite your partner and start the game, both spawn in. run around for a bit (like 10 seconds) then the host quits, this is important, we tried making player two quit but it never worked. This should put your partner in the lobby again. He/she stays there.
The host then hosts a co-op game on whatever level on authentic difficulty and invite the other player in. Ready up and start the game. Now both players should have a mini map and full tactical assistance. If both of you die the host will lose it but the second player will keep them.
I realise that this guide is very similar to Mars. I feel that I need to tell people that it is important that the host quits and this is definitely not patched.
I hope this helps and I am not 100% sure it will work for you. Like I've said I've seen different methods and this one worked 100% for me. If you leave a negative vote let me know why.
Edit: I've seen a video on Youtube in which player two is the one that quits although this never worked for me.
Just follow every step and this WILL work for you!
Legitimate Method:
Authentic difficulty is easily one of the most potentially frustrating difficulties that you will play in a long time. The difficulty includes:
- No HUD
- No Radar
- Realistic Bullet Drop
- Wind
- No Focus Meter
- Reduced Health
- Not immune to your own traps
- Reduced ammunition
- Fearless enemies
- No saving or checkpoints! (Dying restarts the level)
If you play the game as it is supposed to be played, it will be nearly impossible. When playing on this difficulty, the game becomes all about STEALTH. You will rarely engage in any battle unless completely necessary. If you must shoot, make sure you mask the sounds of your shot so that enemies don't hear you. You must also make sure to only take out enemies if they are isolated from other enemies.
It is also recommended that you leave this for the 2nd playthrough so that you know what is required during each objective, and so that you know the map layout as well as enemy movement patterns. Also, watch out for snipers, they won't miss and take you out very quickly.
Lastly, many players may find more success during this difficulty if playing in co-op with another human player. Communication is key, and practice makes perfect. May patience be with you.

Glitch Method:
This method can ONLY be done in co-op and may be patched in the near future.
Go to "Multiplayer" then "Create Private Game" and choose "Deathmatch", with the following settings:
- Score limit: None
- Time Limit: None
- Ballistic Realism: Simple
- Tactical Assistance: Full
- Damage Type: Normal
- Rifles Only: No
Start the game, play for a few seconds and quit out. Now switch to co-op, select the mission that you would like to play on Authentic, and start the mission. The game will have saved your settings from the deathmatch, so the game should be significantly easier, because there's no wind, bullet drop and the game will even include radar and checkpoints for you! This is applied to both people in a co-op session.
Additionally, if you die or have to restart a level, you will lose these settings and the game will revert back to traditional Authentic settings. If you finish a mission without retries, it will follow you to the next mission. If you lose it though, you will have to start back from the beginning of this method's description.
Glitched Achievement Note: The game will only unlock difficulty achievements if all levels have been completed at least 1 time on the same difficulty. If you switch during your playthrough, you will have to revisit levels and play them again in order to unlock these achievements. The game will not stack any difficulties unless all 8 missions were completed on the same difficulty. If you switch difficulties during your playthrough, you will have to go back and replay levels in order to unlock any of these achievements.
