Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a tactical first-person shooter that blends realistic sniping with sandbox gameplay. Players step into the role of Raven, an elite marksman sent to the Middle East to eliminate a criminal organization. The core mechanic revolves around long-range sniping, with targets over 1,000 meters away. To ensure precision, players must consider wind, bullet drop, breath control and ammunition type. Successful headshots and critical hits are dramatically showcased in slow motion with the bullet cam.
Contracts 2 features five expansive sandbox maps with non-linear missions. Players can scout the environment, mark opponents and infiltrate enemy bases. The game emphasizes stealth, but those who prefer a more aggressive approach can opt for direct combat. While it lacks traditional multiplayer modes like deathmatch or sniper duels, players can test their skills by improving their best times, completing challenges and discovering alternative assassination methods.
