Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 shows off its weapon variety via modifications

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a different kind of first person shooter in the sense that it carries a heavy emphasis on preparation before tackling a mission. A big part of going about said preparation is deciding how you want to approach each mission. After all, the three ways to approach the game are right in the title; Sniper, Ghost, and Warrior.

The game will give you a large selection of real world weapons to choose from including the Origin-12 shotgun by FosTech and the McMillan TAC-338 sniper rifle. But your choices don't end there. Players will be able to customize their weapons with different modifications that grant different bonuses. Here's a list of the various mods courtesy of an official press release.

• OPTICS: Sniper rifle scopes with various degree of zoom, iron sights and collimators
• for sidearms and assault weapons.
• MAGAZINE: Larger magazines hold more bullets giving higher ammo capacity on the mission.
• SILENCER: Allows silent shooting. Firing weapons with a silencer doesn’t alert enemies. Silencers have limited durability and have to be repaired after extensive use.
• BIPOD: Greatly reduces weapon sway, allows the rifle to be supported on the ground, and increases the aiming angles when supported.
• CAMO: Selected camos can be swapped between weapons. Players can choose from camos as Africa Tech, Hexagon Ice, Death Pool, Grass Wave, Copperhead Snake and many others (some camos available only as a part of exclusive DLCs)
• VISION: Laser aiming modules increase weapon precision while shooting from the hip. Flashlights provide illumination in darkened areas.

Developer CI Games also has a few tips on how to customize your loadout, depending on your playstyle. Here's what they had to say:

• Stealth Sniping – Choose silencers, long-range weapons, warning devices (motion detectors that expose nearby enemies), and luring bullets.
• Stealth Infiltration – Choose a bow to silently take out your enemies and use your knife to perform melee takedowns.
• Action – Choose grenades, mines and C4 explosives. Wear heavy armor and attach drum clips to your assault rifles.
• Indoor Combat – Equip a variety of shotguns in closed environments and attach flashlights or night vision goggles to see in low-light conditions.
• Vehicular Combat – Lay down anti-vehicle mines and use a .50 cal sniper rifle to penetrate even the most heavily armored vehicles.

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