Those are all the weapon locations in SGW3! What’s your favorite weapon? Leave a comment below.
I pre ordered this and I still didn’t get the McMillan Tac 338 rifle. Any suggestions???
I had it right in the weapon cache, when I first arrived into my safehouse after the training mission. I had the basic XM… rifle, and the McMillian.
Update the game through steam, any tor vs won’t have it
Rook ss and wagram 21 not unlocking and completed every main and side. Is there another way to get these weapons
Both unlocked in Act II or 111 just doing main story missions
Completed every mission and side mission on the hardest difficulty. Rook SS-97, Turret M96, Garett M9, and Wagram 21 will not unlock. More disappointment in the long line of crashes and frozen screens in this overpriced glitchy POS.
I’m on Act II, almost to Act III. I only unlocked 3 rifles, up to the .338 rifle. My longest shot was 934.39m with the .338. Why hasn’t the .50 caliber been unlocked yet?
You did not get a kill at that range ,the bots dematerialize most times at 400 -600 meters on occasion you can get lucky and theyll stay highlighted but not often ,i’ve yet to see an enemy on this game that can be shoot at the range you claim …it may just be me but i doubt it mate .
I made a centre mass shot at a scrape over 600 with the 338 in the mountains but other then that yeah enemy’s don’t seem to spawn untill your within 500 and half the time the fog stops you from seeing any further.
Prove that shot!
Actually, when you’re at what the game designates a “sniper spot”, enemies “materialize” when you look through the scope (and vanish when you stop aiming down the scope). My best so far is 820-something for center of mass and 600-something for head.
Where do I find drone hacking?
this game is shit, avoid at all costs.
Brilliant game, looking forward to more
This game is just great, I’ve enjoyed every single moment! I’ve used the Knight 110 more than any other weapon, I finished it once and I’m on my second run through! Can’t wait for Contracts in November I’ve already pre-ordered it! I found the Vykop today and can’t wait to give it a try!
This game is f-ing great. I never bought it because everyone said it was trash. But recently it’s been getting better reviews after fixes so I Bought the whole series along with the new Contracts but decided to start with Ghost Warrior 3 before playing Contract. Man, I am surprised by the fun of this game. Hope they keep making this type of game play even better. There is room I think, for more customizing of weapons, like in Metal Gear Solid 5…which was maybe the absolute best I have ever seen in that respect. That, and maybe give more personal stories and missions. The enemies in this game are GREAT. AI actually will kick your ass in short time if you make even one mistake! Great great game. Some of the locations are and missions are damned fun. In one instance I came upon two enemies on patrol in a blizzard at 2:am high up in a mountain town, and it was f-ing GREAT gaming experience… !!!
Sharpshooter trophy did not unlock for me.. Hahaha
Same here
Did u find the way to unlock it
This is a very fun game . I’m and old man of 69 years old and have been shooting real guns all of my life. My dad taught me to shoot when I was 12. He worked for the Federal Gov. at the time. I think that for a computer game it is pretty realistic. Downright frustrating at times but I keep on trying. The graphics are supurb. I can’t wait for Ghost Warrior 4. If there is going to be such a game!
Don’t bother with this game.constant freezing and crashing make it the most unpleasurable and un playable game in the series. Revisited this 4 years after buying it, and none of the original problems have been sorted. Ztill hVjng to do missions 3, 4 or even 5 times due to the game screwing up.
Trying to get all weapons and when I find some the case is already open and no weapon or case is open weapon there but can not retrieve it
I know of really crappy indie games that are less buggy than this.
