Sniper Elite 5: How to defeat Ehrlich using Rat Bomb
First things first, you have to find the Rat Bomb. It is located behind the Resistance Fighter which is found at the start of the mission. Having found the Rat Bomb, there are a few ways in which you can use it to target Ehrlich in the mission itself. The first and major way is to make your way undetected inside the building where Ehrlich lives.
Once you are inside, you will find the many white rats scurrying along on the ground. Go up to one in order to start interacting with it. This is how you plant your bomb in the building. Having done that, go to a corner and hide to wait, as Ehrlich, having finished his talk with Dietrich, will walk around the house.
He will come into contact with the rat carrying the bomb on his own, and at this point, the bomb will go off. However, not all players will be able to defeat Ehrlich in this manner. Therefore, they have a couple of other ways to try and achieve the goal. You can place the rat bomb beside the entrance to his house.
