Sniper Elite 5 is here – and Karl Fairburne’s fifth outing is one of the best entries in the series so far. It is packed full of detailed open world levels, extensive weapon customisation, and, of course, lots and lots of Nazis to shoot in the head. As a result, it’s an incredibly fun experience that allows you to play as you see fit – be that maximum stealth or by shooting guys in the balls from 400 metres away. If you opt for stealth, one important bit of kit is the Whistle. It allows you to distract enemies or draw them in. For players new to the series, they game’s menus and control scheme are a little confusing. So, many are asking how to use the Whistle. Luckily, we’ve got you covered. This is how to whistle in Sniper Elite 5

How To Whistle in Sniper Elite 5

As mentioned, the Whistle is an invaluable piece of equipment when you’re playing stealthily in Sniper Elite 5. Without it, you have to approach enemies yourself. And often times, they’re out in the open in full view of other guards. It’s not an ideal situation for Karl Fairburne to execute a lethal takedown.

That’s where the Whistle comes in. You can use it to lure guards to a certain position, and then either dispatch them or sneak around them as you desire. It really is essential when it comes to stealth in Sniper Elite 5.

This is how to whistle in Sniper Elite 5… Hold L1/LB/Q to open the Radial Menu and select the Whistle. With the Whistle equipped, press R1/RB/F to use.
