Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 shows off its safe house in a series of screenshots

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is aiming to be just as much a thinker as it is a shooter, and a lot of your thinking will be done pre-mission as you go through your arsenal to pick out which equipment to take with you into the wild. As you might surmise, your safe house in Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is made to be your home away from home. Your character, Jon North will sleep here as well as craft and purchase items via a currency called "Trading Goods" in between the action.

The game has multiple safe houses scattered around the game world for you to discover, and finding them will unlock new weapons and loot. Discovering a safe house will also create a new fast travel point for added convenience. Within your safe house, you will have access to a Weapon Cache, which serves as your hub to change up your loadout. Your primary and secondary weapons, side-arms, gadgets, weapon skins, and armors can be bought and equipped here.

This is your workbench, and it is here that you will be able to craft regular and special bullets, gadgets and medkits using the resources that you find in the open world of northern Georgia. Here's a list of special bullets you can craft courtesy of an official press release:

• Luring Bullet: Can be used to lure enemies into desired spots while not raising an alarm. Players can easily dispose of enemies that can be seen by others. Simply lure them out of sight and take them out. It can also lure enemies out from behind obstacles and into view.
• Tagging Bullet: Extracts a pulse that locates enemies through obstacles. It allows players to tag enemies in places where flying the drone would be too risky or would take too much time.
• Armor Piercing: Can be used to take out targets hiding in cover, so thin walls, fences, and even metal will no longer stop shots. It’s very effective against armored vehicles.
• EMP: Emits an electromagnetic pulse that disables vehicles and electronic devices within a small radius. A well-placed shot can ensure enemy reinforcements won’t arrive on the location, disable CCTV cameras, or can lure enemies by frying a power generator.
• Explosive Bullet: If you no longer care about stealth, then this is your bullet of choice for one-shot, one-kill sniping.
• DARPA: Experimental homing bullets that allow players to ignore wind and gravity, making these severe-condition shots much easier to execute.

You will also be able to leverage C4 charges that can serve as diversions as well as damage dealing weapons. The resulting explosions can allow players to sneak around patrols who leave their posts to investigate what is happening. Throwing knives are another weapon you will be able to use as they can be used to kill enemies without burning through any suppressor durability silently. Better yet, they can be a last-resort attack if you run out of ammunition in the middle of an encounter.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 releases later this month on April 25th, 2017 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
