Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 Walkthrough: All Targets and Challenges

A complete walkthrough for the second installment of the first-person shooter series: how to eliminate every target and complete all contracts, where to take the best firing positions, and how to neutralize each objective.

The Grey Desert

The tutorial mission consists of several straightforward stages. You will learn how to use an extreme long-range sniper scope, operate the drone and turret, and work with different ammunition types.Choose a difficulty:

• Marksman (aiming assist available): a very easy mode that does not punish mistakes or slip-ups. Have fun and test yourself as you track dangerous enemies through the scope. Play however you like.
• Sharpshooter (aiming assist is enabled by default and can be changed in the settings): a medium difficulty that puts your skills to the test. Use all available sniper equipment to deal with smarter enemies and overcome challenging encounters.
• Veteran Sniper (aiming assist unavailable): a hard mode where you will face serious challenges.
• Deadeye (aiming assist and most HUD assistance are unavailable): you are a killer. Just do the job.

There are several types of special ammunition. You will not always need them, but it is still worth completing the tutorial

Zindah Province: How to Eliminate Antwan Zarz, Ronald Payne, and Fyodor Novikov, and Sabotage the Satellite Dishes

The map is divided into several large areas. Reach each of the three key points and take up position. All key locations are marked on your map. You may encounter armed soldiers along the way. If you raise the alarm, eliminating the main target becomes much harder.

How to Eliminate Antwan Zarz

Open the map with M and head to the first sniping position. Take out the binoculars with T and tag the enemies. One of them is your target. You can eliminate Antwan Zarz in several ways.

1. Kill him anywhere. This gives you the standard reward.
2. Drop the metal container hanging from the crane onto Antwan.
3. Lure Antwan into his office and shoot him. Find the three soldiers on the roof of the central building, eliminate them, then disable the ventilation system by shooting the fuse box. Wait for Zarz to head to his office. Shoot down the metal container blocking your line of sight and eliminate the target.
4. Kill Antwan together with the dealer. Wait until the dealer joins Zarz. Eliminate the soldier near the fuse box and open the gate. Kill Zarz and the dealer with a single shot.
5. Other methods become available later.

Head to the final sniping position and tag the targets. Colonel Novikov is hiding inside the building on the right, so you need to lure him out. You can see satellite dishes with fuse boxes on both sides. Shoot all four fuse boxes and Novikov will leave the building. 

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 Walkthrough — How to Eliminate Colonel Fyodor Novikov and Sabotage the Satellite Dishes

If you disable the satellite dishes without raising the alarm, you receive extra points and complete the challenge. The best way to eliminate the target is to kill him in his own office. Wait for Novikov on the second floor of the building on the left, shoot the fuse box on the roof, and take him out.

Mount Kuamar: How to Eliminate Lars Hellstrom, Disable the Jammers, and Complete the Other Objectives in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

Below, I'll explain how to complete the Mount Kuamar mission quickly and efficiently.

Preparing for the Mount Kuamar Mission

For this mission, choose the lightweight JIC 7.62 sniper rifle and buy a suppressor and armor-piercing ammunition for it. The suppressor helps you avoid raising the alarm, while armor-piercing rounds are useful against heavy enemies. The mission becomes much harder without this loadout.

Preparing for the Mount Kuamar Mission

How to Disable the Jammers (2/3)

You start in the lower-right corner of the map. Two objectives are directly ahead of you: the jammers. Approach the tower, let the soldiers pass, climb up, and eliminate the two snipers. Interrogate the first sniper to reveal all available objectives on the map. Avoid direct encounters with soldiers and make your way to the first tower.

How to Disable the Jammers (2/3)

How to Disable the Jammers (2/3)

The area around the towers is mined, so I do not recommend wandering around the buildings. The tower structures themselves also contain turrets. Move around them, eliminate the guards, and climb to the top. Disable the jammers one by one and move on to the other objectives.

How to Disable the Jammers (2/3)

That takes care of two of the three jammers. If you started with the jammer on the right, move on to the next objective. We will deal with the final jammer later.

How to Disable the Jammers (3/3) and Eliminate the Hyena and the Rival Sniper

When you try to leave the area and head toward the final jammer in the center of the map, you receive two bounty contracts. The first target, the Hyena, is in the same area as the jammer you still need to disable.

How to Disable the Jammers (3/3) and Eliminate the Hyena and the Rival Sniper

This area is heavily guarded, so do not rush to eliminate the Hyena. Tag the enemies and locate several snipers. From the sniping position, you can also spot the rival sniper, who is worth an additional bounty. The rival is on the mountain to the left of the enemy base.

How to Disable the Jammers (3/3) and Eliminate the Hyena and the Rival Sniper

Eliminate the Hyena and the rival sniper however you like. Disable the final jammer and move to the right side of the map.

How to Sabotage the Main Antenna

How to Sabotage the Main Antenna

Reach the main antenna area, tag the enemies, and locate the snipers. Inspect the antenna itself. It has three green devices, each containing three rotating discs. Every disc has a green light. You need to hit each light with a precise shot to disable the device.

How to Sabotage the Main Antenna — All Devices

How to Sabotage the Main Antenna

The devices are positioned awkwardly, so you will need to find suitable angles for shooting the green lights. The first two are easy enough, but the third takes more effort.

How to Sabotage the Main Antenna — Second Device

In the center of the area, find the path down toward the building supporting the antenna. Kill the enemies, move around the building, and shoot the lights from the opposite side. It should look roughly like this.

How to Sabotage the Main Antenna — Third Device

The main antenna is now offline. Leave the area and head toward the final objective.

How to Eliminate Lars Hellstrom and Infiltrate the Bunker

How to Eliminate Lars Hellstrom and Infiltrate the Bunker

Reach the sniping position shown by the first arrow in the screenshot and tag the enemies. The second arrow shows the best route into the base. There are turrets here, but we are going to move quickly.

How to Eliminate Lars Hellstrom and Infiltrate the Bunker

Kill the soldier at the gate, head down, and run past the turrets while they are facing away. Move along the wall and hide from the turrets beneath the open shutter.

How to Eliminate Lars Hellstrom and Infiltrate the Bunker

From here, choose whichever route is most convenient. Unfortunately, once you reach the main bunker entrance, you will have to destroy one turret. Afterward, use the fuse box in the control room to cut power to all the remaining turrets.

How to Eliminate Lars Hellstrom and Infiltrate the Bunker

Leave the control room, search the area, and find the ventilation shaft. Drop down and eliminate the soldier.

Tajmid Heights: How to Rescue Taj Taheer, Eliminate Isabella Sanchez, Hamza Khan, and Zivko Dragovic, and Sabotage the Oil Fields in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

For this mission, you need a sniper rifle with high damage and an extreme long-range scope, preferably 32x. For direct combat, equip a suppressed assault rifle and several grenades. Armor-piercing ammunition will also be useful.

How to Eliminate Isabella Sanchez and Rescue Taj Taheer

You start in the eastern part of the map. Head toward the first checkpoint and decide whether to eliminate the enemies or bypass them. This does not affect your final score.

How to Eliminate Isabella Sanchez and Rescue Taj Taheer

Reach the sniping position and survey the area. Your target, Isabella Sanchez, is inside a two-story building on the right side of the camp. She will go inside, and Control will suggest luring her out. Open the map and check the optional objectives. There are several ways to kill Isabella, but we will describe the simplest one.

How to Eliminate Isabella Sanchez and Rescue Taj Taheer

Check the left side of the camp and find the locked room holding Taj Taheer. Kill the lone soldier guarding the bars, wait for Taheer to leave the room, and eliminate every target that appears along his escape route. This will not be easy.

How to Eliminate Isabella Sanchez and Rescue Taj Taheer

Aim slightly below the soldiers' heads and pay attention to the way their bodies sway. A bullet takes about a second and a half to reach the target. During that time, the enemy can move, causing you to miss at best or trigger the alarm at worst. Raised the alarm? Reload the latest save.

How to Eliminate Isabella Sanchez and Rescue Taj Taheer

Taheer will eventually reach the turrets, with two soldiers patrolling to the right. Do not kill them. Destroy the turrets, move your scope up toward the road, and find the fuel barrels next to the armored vehicle. Blow them up and Taheer will be free.

How to Eliminate Isabella Sanchez and Rescue Taj Taheer

During the escape, your main target, Isabella Sanchez, may leave her room and head toward Taheer's cell. If you do not kill her now, she will reach the cell and raise the alarm.

How to Eliminate Isabella Sanchez and Rescue Taj Taheer

Again, this is the simplest way to rescue Taheer and eliminate Isabella Sanchez. You can experiment with other methods and complete the different challenges available from this mission's main menu.

How to Eliminate Hamza Khan and Zivko Dragovic

Run to the next sniping position and take your place. You need to reach the area in the southeast. Use the map for orientation.

How to Eliminate Hamza Khan and Zivko Dragovic

Zivko Dragovic is inside a locked building, so you need to lure him out. There is an antenna on the roof. Shoot it, and Dragovic's associate will open the door, giving you a chance to take the target down.

How to Eliminate Hamza Khan and Zivko Dragovic

The final target, Hamza Khan, can be eliminated a little later. By this point, he will be walking around the camp and occasionally stopping to answer a phone call. Wait for the best opportunity and take the shot.

How to Eliminate Hamza Khan and Zivko Dragovic

How to Sabotage the Oil Fields

Sabotaging the oil fields without raising the alarm is very difficult. If an alarm is triggered, infantry and snipers will begin appearing behind your sniping position. Destroy every fuse box and red pump to complete the objective.

How to Sabotage the Oil Fields

Rashida Qalat: How to Eliminate Bibi Rashida, Sabotage the Missiles, Acquire the Manifest from the Train Depot, and Retrieve the Data Chip in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

Next, you need to visit another missile warehouse and plant explosives on the platform in the center of the area. Reach the uppermost warehouse by any route you prefer, eliminate several soldiers, and find a hole in the wall facing the water, directly in front of the crates. This is the only way into the building.

Kill the two soldiers near the isolated building and wait for Ghazi Talib to enter the house.

How to Acquire the Manifest from the Train Depot in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

In this area, I recommend deliberately raising the alarm. This draws most of the soldiers outside and makes it easier to move around the depot. The screenshot below shows the buildings containing the keycard and the storage room with the data.

How to Acquire the Manifest from the Train Depot in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

Proceed as follows. Eliminate the snipers on the rooftops and the soldiers on the right side of the depot, then trigger the alarm. Once the armored vehicle carrying reinforcements starts moving toward your position, head down to the water and find the opening in the fence in front of the two towers. There is also a Mines sign here. Run past the two towers. There are no mines along this route.

How to Acquire the Manifest from the Train Depot in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

Move around the depot along the right side, then reach the building containing the keycard. Pick up the keycard from the table and return to the building with the storage room.

How to Find the Prisoners in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 and Reach the Tunnels Beneath the Palace

Leave the depot through the upper-right section of the area. There is a checkpoint here. You can eliminate all the enemies and search it, then do the same at another checkpoint near the cliff. This will let you find several collectibles. Return to the first checkpoint and head toward the palace.

How to Find the Prisoners in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 and Reach the Tunnels Beneath the Palace

To the right of the palace entrance, eliminate the sniper on the scaffolding, run to his body, and climb into the palace. There are three entrances to the tunnels, but two are locked. The only open entrance is in the center of the area.
