Story
Story
Dr. Scott, a leader in clone research connected to a national project, was kidnapped. Fearing misuse of cloning technology and leaked state secrets, the government dispatched a group to find him.
The search revealed that a wealthy terrorist organization had kidnapped the doctor. Despite extensive government resources, his location remained unknown.
One year after his disappearance, the government uncovered information on the terrorist organization's bases. A mission was launched to rescue the doctor and cripple the organization.
Colonel Robert, a Marine, personally requested to command this critical mission. He activated a hand-picked elite special unit.
To prevent public alarm about the misuse of cloning technology, a large-scale operation was not possible. The colonel had to entrust this critical assignment to a single man.

Story (SILENT SCOPE EX)
The story unfolds as you clear the missions you have been assigned. The game is over when your life becomes zero.
Your life decreases over time, so it is imperative that you take out enemies quickly. Your life also decreases when you are hit by enemy fire or when you accidentally shoot an innocent bystander.
Your life will slightly recover by defeating enemies, and will significantly recover if you defeat an enemy by exploiting its weakness or by finding Life-up Girls that appear during the game.

Shooting Range
Aim and shoot each of the targets as they appear. If you defeat all the targets within the time limit, the drill is completed. If you go over the time limit, the session ends in failure.
Upon completion of the drill, any remaining time is added to your score. Only aim for targets that are armed. The number of points varies depending on the accuracy of your shot.
Mistakenly shooting an ordinary civilian will result in a large penalty to your score.

Enemies & Characters
PLAYER
A member of the anti-terrorism special forces VIPER sniper unit 1, codenamed FANG 1. He is known as "Mr. Silent Scope" due to his cool personality and always silencing targets once given permission to fire.
PARTNER
The spotter for the VIPER sniper unit, she has the best ability to detect movement and spatial recognition in the unit. She provides backup and support to the sniper, and is also a first-class long-distance marksman.
CAP
Commander of the anti-terrorism special unit VIPER, he is a living legend under whose command numerous military and police units operate.
FALCON
A top-notch sniper who, now retired from an anti-terrorism unit, works as a hired gun due to his cool personality and unparalleled marksmanship.
ROBERT
A Colonel in the Marines who commands a hand-picked elite special forces unit and is feared for his audacious strategies, leading to a mysterious military history.
Tips & Maps
HARBOR
In this early stage, enemies won't notice if you miss, so you can practice your aim or just observe the terrorists through your scope.
RESEARCH LAB
Terrorists are using lab technicians as human shields, so aim carefully; a missed shot will alert enemies and bring reinforcements.
CASINO
This stage is set in a casino with ordinary civilians, so avoid shooting them and be careful not to mistake them for terrorists.
DAM
From a helicopter circling above, you must pick off terrorists on the ground, so use the "Decrease Scope Speed Button" for long-range marksmanship.
CANAL
You take shots from a speeding motorboat, but targets are relatively close, making it easy to line them up if you stay relaxed.
OIL RIG
Aiming from a helicopter is difficult, so get a feel for bullet trajectory; failure to eliminate enemies early will lead to a massive offensive later.
IRONWORKS
Security is tight, and enemies will sound an alert if they discover a fallen comrade, so pick off enemies when others are not looking and plan your attack order.
