Sniper Elite 5 has eight missions (well technically 10, although that is up for debate as one only lasts seconds and the other is DLC) and each mission, besides its major objectives, has a target on your Kill List.
Each target has wronged the Allies in some way and you have been given the task to eradicate them from the face of the earth.
You can either choose to kill them in a more “traditional” way - gun, knife etc, or you can try to bump them off in the bonus method each has, called the Kill List Challenge and doing do will generally unlock weaponry for you to use in your loadout.
The methods of killing these targets gets more outlandish by the mission - from using a bomb inside a dead rat, to dropping a V2 rocket on a scientist. Let your imagination run wild. By the time you get to the Kill List target in the SLC Wolf Mountain mission - none other than Adolf Hitler himself there are rewards for going back in and killing him in different ways.
You can find some of the best of them on Hitler’s own page.
Let’s have a quick rundown of all the targets before going into more detail on each of them on their own page.
