Sniper Elite: Resistance – Complete Controls Guide for PC & Xbox

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, Misc. Guides / 01 Feb 2025

In German-occupied France, the Resistance wages an unseen, grim war. Sniper Elite: Resistance puts you in the boots of a lone wolf operative, tasked with disrupting enemy operations and taking out high-value targets while staying one step ahead of a numerically superior enemy. With its infamous X-ray kill cams, realistic ballistics, & stealth-driven gameplay, SE: Resistance makes every shot count—unless you press the wrong button… If you’ve ever thrown a grenade instead of holding your breath, this guide has you covered. On PC or Xbox, knowing which button to press at the right time keeps things stealthy, efficient, and—most importantly—keeps you from blowing your cover (or yourself up). Let’s make sure the next shot lands on target, not in the foot.
