Tactical Assassin 3
Read the mission brief, find your mark through the scope and take one shot, in a sniper game where the wrong body is a failed contract.
The third in a Flash sniper series, released in 2011. Each mission gives you a fixed vantage point, a briefing naming who dies and who must not, and a scope you drag across the scene waiting for the shot to open up. Targets hide behind cover or sit in crowds, and several missions want you to shoot an object rather than a person to flush someone out.
Realism mode gives you crosshair sway, a money system and a run that ends after five failures; arcade mode steadies the aim and unlocks most of the kit up front. Cash earned between contracts buys better rifles and equipment, which matters most on later missions that put friendlies in the same frame as the target.
Controls
Mouse to aim and fire, Space to zoom, R to reload, F to steady your aim.
Tips
- Read the brief twice. Most failures are the right person at the wrong moment, or the wrong person.
- Wait out the sway and squeeze between breaths instead of chasing the target with the crosshair.
- Some missions want scenery shot, not people, so look for ropes, canisters and doors first.
