Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 refines the gameplay of its predecessor, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts. The game and its DLCs feature a total of six missions, distinctly categorized as either "classic" and "long-distance." The classic missions offer an experience comparable to that of the last installment, as they involve a mix of infiltration, close-quarter combat, and stealthy elimination of targets closer than 400 meters. The long-distance shot missions, however, require the player to eliminate targets further than 1000 meters.

In late 2019, sniper mercenary 'Raven' is hired to destabilise the regime of Bibi Rashida, dictator of the fictional Middle Eastern country of Kuamar (coterminous with southern Iran). Guided by an anonymous handler ('Control'), Raven is first deployed to Zindah Province, eliminating Rashida's quartermaster and arms dealer Antwan Zarza, sniper trainer and former SAS Captain Ronald Payne and the Russian GRU telecommunications expert Colonel Fyodor Novikov. With Rashida's operational network crippled, Raven next infiltrates Mount Kuamar, where he destroys the jamming equipment cutting Kuamar off electronically from the world, thus allowing Western news and the Internet in. He then sabotages The Citadel, a massive data facility about to be used to launch a world-crippling cyberattack, and assassinates its mastermind, the hacktivist and Rashida ally Lars Hellström. As the regime totters, Raven moves on to free opposition journalist Taj Taheer from captivity and eliminate enforcer Isabella Sanchez, militant ally Hamza Khan and weapons dealer Zivko Dragovic, as well as sabotage the nation's remaining oil infrastructure. A final assault on Rashida's presidential fortress follows, with Raven destroying her stockpile of nuclear missiles and killing the dictator herself. Taheer takes the presidency, but his actions cause Control's anonymous employers concern; thus, Raven is deployed in late 2020 to eliminate Taheer and a foreign contact assisting him. Once this is completed, Control reveals what happens next: Kuamar will elect a new president in time, but this is still a strategic failure. With both Rashida and their own candidate gone, there will be no one they can puppet running the nation, which Control admits may be better off. Control then signs off, revealing his name is Alex. In a DLC mission, Raven returns to Kuamar to take down the new Zarza Clan leader, Mahmoud 'The Butcher' Zarza, and Russian nerve agent researcher Irina Volkova after her work poisons an entire village.
