In popular mobile game Sniper 3D Assassin, you can kill a journalist and ‘make him famous’

The mission is called “Breaking News”.

It’s the seventh mission in the game, and it comes after you’ve upgraded your sniper rifle to shoot at a distance of nearly 300 metres (1,000 feet) with accuracy.

By now, you’ve already taken out, among others, a gunman who allegedly killed several people at a pizzeria last year, someone who stole a backpack from a tourist, a sniper who (without a trace of irony) is killing innocent people, and three men who were guarding a gang’s weapon arsenal.

“Breaking News” has a clear goal: kill a reporter.

“A journalist bribed a cop and will pick up a briefcase from the cop,” the mission says.

“The briefcase is full of sensitive documents. Make him famous in a different way.”
