“A time to be stealthy and a time to be lethal” – Well-Timed Brutality in Sniper Elite 4

According to the narrator in Sniper Elite 4’s launch trailer, “Timing is everything.” During the trailer, Karl Fairburne, the game’s protagonist, manages to slit the throat of an enemy soldier, bomb another and impale a third with a screwdriver in his skull. The narrator continues, “There’s a time to be stealthy and a time to be lethal.”
