The stakes have never been higher inSniper Elite: Resistance’s final full mission, End of the Line. It’s up to you to stop the heavily armored Zugwerfer trains before they can derail the Allied invasion. These rolling war machines, packed with deadly payloads, won’t go down easy, and the battlefield is littered with anti-air defenses, fortified positions, and one particularly target who’ll go down with a bang.

If you want to sabotage the enemy’s plans and make it out alive, you’ll need strategy, precision, and a well-placed Satchel charge (or three). This walkthrough will guide you through every step — neutralizing defenses, trapping the Zugwerfers, and ensuring Kruger never makes his escape. Let’s get to work.

Neutralize The Flak Batteries

To begin, you’ll want tostart with the optional objectivefor this mission, neutralizing the Flak batteries that protect the area.Head south from your starting pointandenter the trencheson the blue-marked objective.

Thefirst Flak batteryispositioned on the west sidewithin the trenches, and you’ll need a Satchel charge to destroy it. Fortunately, Satchel charges can be found scattered within the trenches.Detonate and explode itto complete the first half of this mission.

Then,head towards the eastern side, still within the trenches. Thesecond Flak batteryis located hereon the east side. It’ll require the same approach.Destroy itusing another Satchel charge. Once both are destroyed, you’ll have completed this optional objective. Enemy air defenses are weakened, paving the way for the next phase.

Trap The Eastern Zugwerfer

Next,make your way northtotrap the eastern Zugwerfer. Find an exit from the trench area by sticking to the wall. Once you reach higher ground, use the vantage point to eliminate snipers and other enemies surveying the area.

Although this is the final listed objective, we recommend tackling it at this point to better align with the mission’s flow.

Then,descend towards the eastern objective. Upon arrival, your objective will update, instructing you tosabotage the Roundhouse turntable. This turntable is located in acircular sub-floor area in the middleof themarked objective. If you don’t already have a Satchel charge, you’ll find one just east of the turntableon ayellow crate.

Place the charge anddetonate itto render the eastern Zugwerfer useless. This completes the objective.

Kill List: Hermann Gottshalk

With the eastern Zugwerfer taken care of, shift your focus to the Kill List target, Hermann Gottshalk.

To find him,head to the northern end of the objective markerandenter the concrete tunnels. Gottshalk will be positionedoutsideon thenorthern sideof the area. His death challenge requires precise timing — wait for him topass by a large maroon cylindermarked with ared indicator, thenshoot the tankto trigger agas explosionthat eliminates him instantly.

You can otherwise simply shoot him. Doing the Kill Challenge, however, will unlock a special weapon.

Trap The Central Zugwerfer

Moving on,proceed southto trap thecentral Zugwerfer. The key to disabling this train lies within the objective building. Inside,locate the middle cylindrical room, where you’ll find acontrol box needed to sabotage the doors. However, acrowbaris required to complete the task. You’ll find one nearby, on theopposite side of the circular room. Use it tojam the mechanism, ensuring the Zugwerfer is rendered inoperable.

Trap The Western Zugwerfer

Now,make your way westto trap the final Zugwerfer.

At the far northwest end, you’llfind a starting location. Light the campfire to mark this area as an available starting location for future playthroughs.

To complete the sabotage,locate a wheel on the western sideof the marked area. It sitsbeneath a tall metal awning, providing some cover, and is positionedjust beyond the railway tracks. As you approach, be mindful of nearby patrols and potential enemy snipers stationed in elevated positions. Here, you’llsimply need to turn the wheelto disrupt the fuel supply. Then, take a shot at the fuel container, blowing it up and effectively neutralizing the last of the armored Zugwerfer trains. You’ll have completed this objective.

Exflitrate And Kill Kruger

With all objectives completed, it’s time to exfiltrate. There arethree available extraction zones, but if you finish at the western Zugwerfer objective, the nearest exfiltration point is conveniently close.Climb the ladderand prepare for a scripted sequence. Instead of a standard exit, you mustplace a transmitter, triggering a cutscene that transitions directly into the final campaign mission: eliminating Kruger before he escapes.

To successfully kill Kruger,head to the eastern outlook position. He will attempt to flee on a motorcycle, andyou must act quickly. Line up your shot andtake him out before he escapes, or the mission will fail. Precision and speed are critical here. Eliminate him swiftly to complete the mission and complete the campaign. Great work!
