Playstyle

The Sniper rewards patience and map awareness over reflexes. Landing a shot from distance can end a fight before it starts, but missing — or getting caught reloading — leaves you exposed. This is the weapon for players who'd rather win the engagement before it becomes a fight at all.

​

Strengths & Weaknesses

• ✅ Highest damage-per-hit at range

• ✅ Lets you control engagements from a distance instead of reacting to them

• ❌ Weak in close-quarters — slow follow-up shots punish you hard if someone closes the gap

• ❌ Requires good positioning; poor sightlines make it nearly useless

​

Best Paired With

Bring a close-range backup — an SMG or Assault Rifle — for when someone breaches your distance. See starter loadouts for full pairings.
