DEATH and REVENGE! Again! Axis Invasion 12 [Sniper Elite 5]

[@drspoon4341]

"Not a victory" "I did not assist friendly soldiers in killing both snipers" My favorite part

[@The1Scraf]

Jagr sniper like "I came all this way for nothing"

[@Grace-Zed]

Whoa your assessment is correct. That's impressive! I don't think other invaders have ever taken the time to observe that. Honestly, I was surprised when I heard the TNT explosion behind me. I was just right there in the secret entrance. I was shooting at AI enemies that kept coming down the ladder. 😂 Haha sorry, I laid the traps so nobody would make a surprise attack. That was also my escape route. I should have been more careful in the third match. I knew you were hiding somewhere in the building. I looked up but I didn't see you. But now I know. Well played. 😆

[@duckwit85]

It was an absolute pleasure. Somehow I don't get killed very often, so when I do I'm usually impressed. I also don't face too many players who are as tactical as you are, and when I do I relish it. Honestly the hope of playing against people of your calibre is the reason I still play this mode as it presents much more fun and challenge than any other part of the game for me. The traps were completely fine and it was pretty naive of me to have missed them. Hiding mines in grass and puddles to cover your escape route is precisely what I would have done, but most people leave them in plain sight so I got complacent. When I ran up into the keep I figured you were scaling up the back of it to get to the target and the exit, I totally forgot about the other AA gun. I had even walked right past it fully intact a few minutes before. Once you blew it up I remembered it was intact before, so I knew exactly where you would be heading. I figured out your tactic but I also got lucky by forgetting about that AA gun, as my error meant I was in a place where I could easily get a shot on you as you moved to the final objectives. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have been in that tower (too many players just sit up there the whole time and I hate it, so I try to not go up there if I can avoid it). If you ever get a chance I highly recommend you try authentic difficulty. Its a much greater challenge without the HUD, but I think you'd do well at it. And finally very well played yourself! I hope I encounter you again at some point!

i follow both Grace's and your youtube channel. Seeing you too in such a challenge just made my day... I just stood there thinking if Grace has the video with his/her side of the invasion...just brilliant

[@jonathanhathaway54]

Damn that one guy next to the spotlight was smart as hell, using the light to try and cover up for his scope glare Cudos to him

[@drspoon4341]

Eyo I made a discovery if you go into the shooting range you can edit your axis invasion equipment to get extra grenades Mines or bandages

[@queefyg490]

Does it still work because if you do it in regular campaign it doesn't change your equipment or special ammo

[@kleinerfarmer1]

​@@queefyg490 yes it still works. u have to go to the schooting range and use one of the benches there.

[@torstenwinkler8610]

When you find mines, defuse them and put them down again in the same spot. Then it's your mine and they wont see it coming. It's my favorite part when they step into one or more of "their own" mines (I hate mines, they give me heart attacks, so this is a revenge)

[@labellaescrima1996]

good trick, think I will also use it once in a while

[@oweirdone1]

Love your videos, I bought SE5 after watching your invasion videos and I'm hooked! Im on my second playthrough to get collectibles and I've already got my 100 invader kills - watching your videos helped a lot both as an invader and the invaded!

[@duckwit85]

Great stuff, I’m glad you found inspiration from these videos, and that they have helped you. That makes it all worthwhile and means a lot to me! Good hunting!

[@luqman_samsol]

2:41 2 weeks leave as a reward for sniper kill is quite luxury in army😂

[@sarsaparilla7878]

Well played even on the couple of losses. That one when you were climbing the vines, honestly, seems like he played afk.

[@duckwit85]

Yep, I had even (silently) considered thats what he was doing, which was why I hesitated before launching through the window. There are only 3 ways in to that building and they all involve climbing, so I'd have been screwed anyway, unless I managed to get a rifle shot on him from the church, but honestly I think he'd have just moved as soon as he saw the glare. I also doubt a grenade would have worked. So yeah, I had to just go for it!

[@sarsaparilla7878]

@@duckwit85 I got lucky once and chucked a grenade up over a high wall. It exploded about chest high on Karl before hitting the ground, but this guy was in perfect position to run from a grenade. Choices in your situation were not in your favor.

I know! This player made contact in this very comment section shortly after the video went up! Very cool to see they are making some SE5 videos! Great player!

[@SStealthbomb]

25:27 what the fuck was that kill 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ED_667]

i am glad i am not the only one who noticed this game crashes itself way too often. Being a cheapskate myself with a crappy laptop to play games, i have encountered so many darn time the game just straight up closes itself while i am in the middle of something, even if it is invasion. Heck, i also often use GeForce Now to play SE 5 decently for 1 hour for free, and it also closes on itself, putting me back on the god awfully long queue without me playing anything at all

[@duckwit85]

Yeah, its especially frustrating as there has been plenty of time to improve stability since release! It actually seemed to get more unstable since the last DLC released, I reckon I'm getting more crashes now than a few months ago. My system is otherwise a stable beast of a machine.

[@Nifter71]

Nice play! How do you deal with that bullshit focus/wall-hack feature? I never use it as Karl in campaign, so I actually forgot about it when I tried some Invading lol ... I only realised afterwards that some dude could just see magically my outline creeping around the corner.

[@drspoon4341]

Usually I just outright avoid close quarters combat in favor of more long ranged cause of focus

[@duckwit85]

I try and keep a bit of distance so I cannot be seen by focus mode, although as an authentic player I cannot use it, so I sometimes forget about it too. I'm aware that some use it, and even depend on it, you just have to be careful not to fall into their traps. Patience is absolutely the key to getting past those players along with being conscious of your movements and using the camera wisely! Unless you're in a situation like I was with the last guy in this video, I just had to go for it as there is no way up there without being spotted with focus. If you do remember they are using it, or can see them waiting for you around the corner tracking your movements, running away again and trying a different approach to them usually is enough to knock them off balance. It lets them know that you know what they are doing. There's a bit of psychology in this game mode and thats how I tend to approach it. Sometimes if you rattle them, they fall to pieces.

[@matthewgraeff9684]

A little bit of a glitch I think, but if you play invasion and then play survival, you'll get the health and ammo bar when playing survival on authentic.

[@duckwit85]

Its absolutely a glitch. I can confirm it happens on campaign mode too. Game still reports authentic and I think authentic rules still apply (health, no aim assist, AI difficulty, etc) but you get the full HUD with the visibility warnings and visible tags. I'm willing to bet the two guys I faced off against weren't experiencing the glitch, essentially handing me an unfair and unwanted advantage. Its been happening for ages and really should have been fixed by now.

[@matthewgraeff9684]

@@duckwit85 Yeah, I wish they would fix the wheel for us console players too.

Hey Duck, ik this is one of the older vids, but did you ever check if you could ADS while ledge holding?

[@duckwit85]

@@mikeb4611 You can’t use weapons at all whilst holding on to a ledge with the exception of a melee kill if an enemy is stood directly above or below you. Certainly there’s no aiming down sights unless you are on the ground!

@@duckwit85 Cheers mate! Love the vids

[@matthewgraeff9684]

Also, too many players on Conqueror that have taken the time to mine bodies and put them in all the paths to and around the tower while they hide.

[@marvel626]

What's your loadout?

[@duckwit85]

It changes occasionally, but in this video its a silenced Kar98, the Drilling, and a silenced Nambu, all customised primarily towards power.

[@chrismarsh3933]

That last player ought to be on Authentic for sure……… Hard = hardest for an invader NOT an experienced Karl. But hey it’s his game.

[@duckwit85]

Yeah, I love that people can play a difficulty they are comfortable with but I can't help feel a player as good as that should be challenging themselves more! It's a compliment, really!

[@HansHackfress]

What with you playing this mode lots and constantly hearing all those Axis soldiers talking to you as you pass, I'm wondering if you have learned/memorized any German phrases? Most of them probably wouldn't come in too handy in real life conversation though ... Greetings from Germany 😉

[@duckwit85]

I studied basic French and German at school, so I know a little bit already (very little, not enough for a conversation but enough to get by as a tourist). I much preferred German over French. That was a long time ago, however! All of the phrases in the game are burned into memory at this point, as you said though, nothing particularly useful for real life!

[@HansHackfress]

@@duckwit85 Maybe if the post-Brexit UK requires you to relocate for work in the future, the german army may have a use for you with all the phrases (and the sniping skills) you picked up from this game 😁

What's your gamer tag as I want to add you x

[@killerspace2]

Game crashes a lot too for me .... Denuvo i guess ...

[@duckwit85]

That wouldn't surprise me... I usually have to start the game twice to get it to run. The game almost always crashes first time I launch it, then random crashes occasionally in Invasions. In the 3 hour session I recorded this in I experienced a startup crash followed by two random crashes at the start of invasions in the first 30-40 minutes, then it ran just fine until the end. I've even had a GPU upgrade in the last 3 months and it was the same with my old card as it is with the new one.

[@chase5298]

I've never had sniper elite crash on me, just had the sound stop working once.

[@duckwit85]

I'm envious! I had it crash 4 times just trying to get into the game yesterday. Its pretty much the only game that does crash on my system.

[@chase5298]

@@duckwit85 That sucks, I hope you're able to figure it out! Love your videos btw, I found your channel last week and haven't stopped binging them. Keep up the great work!
