The Sniper Elite series is well-known for its creative and brutal kill challenges, and Sniper Elite: Resistance is no exception. One of the most satisfying assassination challenges in Mission 6 requires players to eliminate Uwe Schoene using a Coal Torpedo. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to successfully complete this challenge and earn the corresponding achievement.

Where to Find Uwe Schoene

Uwe Schoene is located inside a heavily guarded building that can be accessed by carefully maneuvering through enemy patrols. To reach him:

1. Stick to the left side of the map after starting the mission.
2. Wait for a truck to arrive at the checkpoint.
3. Once the truck arrives, shoot one of the nearby exploding barrels to eliminate both the driver and the checkpoint guard.
4. Move past the checkpoint and take out the lone guard silently to avoid detection.
5. A tank will patrol a nearby road, wait for it to pass before crossing.
6. Climb over the wall and hide in the tall grass next to the building where Schoene is located.
7. If enemies begin investigating noise, remain hidden until they return to their normal patrols.
8. Climb into the building through a window and create a manual save to avoid having to repeat large sections if anything goes wrong.

Tip: There is a Propaganda Poster collectible near the wall before you climb over, so be sure to grab it!

How to Use the Coal Torpedo

Once inside the building, you need to set up the trap:

1. There is a Coal Torpedo located in the room you enter from the window.
2. If you entered from the roof, there is a second Coal Torpedo in the attic.
3. Head up the stairs to the upper floor of the building.
4. Avoid detection by sneaking past several open doors on your right.
5. At the end of the hall, enter the room with a fireplace and a basket.
6. Place the Coal Torpedo in the basket next to the fireplace.
7. Hide behind the desk and wait for Uwe Schoene to enter the room.
8. Once he interacts with the fireplace, the Coal Torpedo will detonate, eliminating him in a spectacular explosion.

Important: If Uwe Schoene gets stuck in a patrol loop and doesn’t enter the room, you may need to reload an earlier save or restart the mission to reset his AI behavior.

Final Tips

• Save frequently: This challenge can go wrong if enemies detect you or if Schoene’s movement becomes unpredictable.
• Stay silent: Any loud noise may cause guards to investigate, potentially preventing Schoene from reaching the fireplace.
• Patience is key: If he takes a while to enter the room, remain hidden and let the scripted AI movement play out.

Completing this challenge successfully will earn you progress toward all Kill List Challenges and add another creative kill to your Sniper Elite: Resistance record. Good luck, and happy hunting!
