Which Difficulty Should You Start With?

Choose Sharpshooter Difficulty

It is generally recommended to begin the game’s Campaign Mode on Sharpshooter (Medium) difficulty. This is to allow you to get a feel for the game in its default setting while learning basic mechanics such as shooting, stealth, and clearing objectives. From there, you can fine-tune the difficulty to your liking.

For players who simply want to play through the game for the story, playing on Civilian (Very Easy) difficulty is recommended. Many of the game’s sniping mechanics are severely toned down or non-existent, allowing you to easily clear objectives and enjoy the Campaign modes scenario and cutscenes.
