How to Unlock the M1918 BAR in Sniper Elite Resistance

In Mission 7 of Sniper Elite Resistance, you’re tasked with completing another kill list challenge titled Lock, Stock, and Barrels. Your objective is to eliminate Aldo Re using poison. Completing this challenge will unlock the M1918 BAR, one of the best secondary weapons in the game.

Finding the Kill Target

You need to head toward the top of the map. If you’ve already played this mission on any difficulty and unlocked the various spawn points, you can spawn right near the kill list location, which places you just next door to where you need to be. If you haven’t, you’ll have to spawn all the way down at the bottom and work your way up. It will take a little while, but that’s just how the mission structure works.

Approaching the Area

To begin the setup for the kill, make your way toward the barn area. You’re going to be dealing with a few guards in this location. There’s one mechanic who’s working just next to the barn. There’s another guy outside next to a shack or outhouse-looking structure. A Commando patrols the area, walking up and down, and also to the left. Finally, there are two more guards inside the building.

If you wait a bit, the two guards inside will separate. You can take one out quietly outside while the other moves up into the interior. You just have to wait for the Commando to go back down, and then you can take him out quietly too. That essentially leaves you with just four people to worry about—the mechanic, the Commando, and the two guards near Aldo. You don’t really need to concern yourself with the rest.

Acquiring the Poison

To poison Aldo’s drink, you need to get inside the barn area. You’ll find the poison inside a building nearby. Deal with the guards however you prefer—whether you pacify or eliminate them is up to you. The only critical rule is that you cannot startle Aldo Re. If he’s startled, he’ll enter a panic state and will never ask for his wine. That means you’ll fail the challenge.

Once you’ve safely collected the poison, make your way back inside as quietly as possible. The Commando is usually roaming near the area, so time your movement carefully. Head through the back entrance if needed to avoid detection.

Poisoning the Wine

Once inside, you’ll be able to see Aldo upstairs. Make your way to the table and add the poison to his wine. After the poison is in the drink, don’t forget the final step—ring the bell. The bell notifies Aldo that his wine is ready.

Once the bell rings, Aldo will come downstairs and head toward the poisoned wine. This is the moment you’ve prepared for. Now it’s just a waiting game. He’ll walk over, take a sip, and then collapse, completing the challenge.

Unlocking the Weapon

And just like that, the objective is complete. Aldo falls dead, and you unlock the M1918 BAR. It’s one of the best secondaries in the game, offering powerful firepower in tight spots.

Take a moment to confirm the unlock in your loadout menu after the mission ends. You’ll now be able to equip the BAR in future missions, giving you a major edge in more intense encounters.

Final Note

That’s all it takes to earn the M1918 BAR. The process is straightforward as long as you stay quiet and don’t alert Aldo. The setup allows you to clear the surrounding enemies with ease and carry out the poison kill without ever firing a shot. Enjoy the weapon, and good luck with the rest of your kill list challenges.
