Mastering each of the 21 unlockable weapons in Sniper Elite Resistance is a requirement for achieving the Silver Trophy “Master-at-arms”. While DLC weapons are skippable, the remainder of the guns are split into three broad categories: Pistols, Secondaries, and Sniper Rifles, each of which must have their respective Mastery Medals unlocked to count towards completion of the Trophy.
This Sniper Elite Resistance guide lists each of the weapons by category and sorted by their mission availability.
Pistols
Kills toward the Mastery Medal counter persist between save reloads. In order to quickly farm 50 Ghost Kills with each Pistol in any given mission, simply find a sizable cluster of enemies to incapacitate, but not kill. Gather them in one spot, preferably close to where you can switch between weapons, then save the game. Execute the unconscious soldiers while outside of active combat for them to count as Ghost Kills. Reload the save, and continue for each Pistol, switching weapons as you earn their individual Mastery Medals. Completion of this task for all 6 Pistols will earn you the “Pistol Perfectionist” Trophy.
