Marksman


When a member of the Coalition Taskforce goes rogue and joins The Phoenix, it falls on legendary sniper Sebastien Hennequet to form an elite unit to hunt him down. Join Sebastien as he teaches you the skills required to assassinate this vindictive operator.

Introduced as part of Operation Bloodhound, the Marksman campaign is the first campaign available to the player as part of the operation.

The Marksman campaign is made up of many missions of varying difficulty. Unlike the previous operation's campaigns, the missions tracks are not separated by difficulty, but rather integrate various difficulties throughout a non-linear track.

The mission briefings in Marksman are narrated by the player's new Commanding Officer, Sebastien Hennequet. Sebastian informs the player of the campaign's ultimate target, the defector Chase Turner, a former Counter-Terrorist operative now working for the Phoenix Connexion. The player initially undergoes training for the eventual confrontation with Turner under Sebastien's instruction against various Terrorist groups. The player graduates by assassinating Sergei. Afterwards, the player focuses against the Phoenix Connexion, eventually assassinating Turner.

Three of the missions are coincidental to the primary focus of the campaign, and have the player accepting work from the legendary arms dealer Booth.

The Hunt Begins  (501)

Mission Unlock(s) Reward
Score 30 P250 kills in Deathmatch: Op. Bloodhound Group matches.

300 XP
+20 XP per kill-if also a headshot.

Brief Audio
“Hello, my name is Sebastien Hennequet, and I’ll be your CO for Operation Bloodhound. Our purpose? Track down one of the most dangerous operators working for The Phoenix. Under my training you will become more than a soldier… you’ll become a hunter. But before we begin our work with a rifle, you have to learn how to live long enough to get one. Become an expert with your sidearm, it’s the fastest way to get the resources you’ll need.”
Sebastien Hennequet


Training Day  (502)

Mission Unlock(s) Reward
Score 10 AWP kills in Casual: Reserves Group matches.

200 XP
+20 XP per kill-if the weapon is from the Lake Collection.

Brief Audio
“Until he betrayed us all, Chase Turner was a decorated member of the Coalition Taskforce. It’s suicide to engage him one on one, but with the right coordination we can kill him before he knows he’s in your crosshairs. The AWP is reliable and deadly, and the first tool of the trade you need to master.”
Sebastien Hennequet
Alternate Brief Audio
“Until he betrayed us all, Chase Turner was a decorated member of the Coalition Taskforce. Seeing as you’re the one who put him down… it’s only fitting you carry on his legacy with the AWP.”
Sebastien Hennequet

200 XP
+1 XP per 15 damage-when the map is Train.

Sebastien Hennequet


A Lesson in Restraint  (504)

Mission Unlock(s) Reward
Score 40 AUG kills in Deathmatch: Zoo matches.

200 XP
+5 XP per kill-when scoped.

Brief Audio
“Since aligning himself with Valeria, Turner does whatever he can to keep us off balance… forcing us to panic and lose focus. But precision is the hallmark of a great operator… it’s easy to wield an Aug(sic) like a cudgel, but can you use it as a scalpel?”
Sebastien Hennequet
Alternate Brief Audio

200 XP
+10 XP per kill-when the weapon is from the Lake Collection.

Sebastien Hennequet
Alternate Brief Audio
“With Turner dead, you can bet Valeria will be looking for vengence… being able to adapt will be key to your survival.”
Sebastien Hennequet

300 XP
+3 XP per kill-when the target is a chicken.

Brief Audio
“The man we hunt is Chase Turner. He was a friend to many of us, and a protégé of mine… the most gifted sniper I ever trained. Valeria’s words have twisted him beyond recognition, and when the time comes it will fall on us to put him down. Let’s begin your training with the SSG08.”
Sebastien Hennequet
Alternate Brief Audio
“Chase Turner was a friend to many of us, and a protégé of mine… I take no joy in his death, but he had to be put down. Ah, we mustn’t dwell in the past… but look towards the future.”

Sebastien Hennequet


No Scope No Problem  (508)

Mission Unlock(s) Reward
Score 60 Desert Eagle kills in Deathmatch: Dust II matches.

300 XP
+5 XP per kill-when the weapon is from the Chroma 2 Collection.

Brief Audio
“Let’s see if you have the discipline to learn what Lt. Sabri couldn’t. Not all precision instruments come with a scope. In the right hands, a Desert Eagle is still effective at long range and is a fraction of the cost of an AWP. And as you know… early success can shape the rest of the battle.”
Sebastien Hennequet

Sebastien Hennequet

200 XP

Brief Audio
“This doesn’t make any sense… The Phoenix are raiding Season, but that target doesn’t fit in Turner’s MO… the target’s not political, and the battlefield is too claustrophobic. Be careful when you’re leaving bombsite A… there's a ladder that leads you to a perfect sniping roost: Turner might be waiting for you.”
Sebastien Hennequet
Alternate Brief Audio
“The Phoenix are raiding the Season Corporation, we need to deploy now!”

Sebastien Hennequet

Score 10 AWP kills in Casual: Rails matches.

200 XP
+40 XP per kill-if also a headshot.

Brief Audio
“Before Turner became a traitor he was a world class operator.

Mission Unlock(s) Reward
Score 16 Competitive round wins in matches on Mirage.

400 XP

Brief Audio
“The seeds of Turner’s betrayal began after a routine operation in the Maghreb region. Valeria’s agents were looking to bomb a shopping district, and we moved to stop them.
