Sniping Challenge



The Sniping Challenge is a wager offered by Fiona in Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.

Overview
This is the fourth and last challenge available to the player, it becomes available after recruiting Ewan (because he is part of the challenge). The Sniping Challenge is a timed challenge that involves the player shooting a Sniper to knock down portraits of Solano and blowing up cars with 50 gallon barrels.

The sniper used is a .50 caliber Anti-Material Rifle. The challenge takes place top of the Villa/PMC HQ, it puts the player on a vantage point overlooking the front of the villa. during the challenge, Ewan will fly across the villa grounds while winching a statue, a pickup with an unknown driver will also drive from the garage out the villa grounds with a statue.

This is not particularly hard at level 3 when compared to other challenges when it is completed using a special trick. Without using the trick, the player would have to take down a target every 1.5 to 2 seconds while hitting optional targets and never miss. The trick is to shoot the outer-most 50 gallon fuel barrels and hopefully the explosions will cause a large enough chain reaction to blow up most targets and then the player can finish up the rest.
