The Sniper' | The '''Sniper''' is a [[Classes#Support|support class]] that specializes in long-range combat, who is most well known for his ability to headshot enemy players. He has 125 health and 100% speed, making him weak to spam and chip damage. His main tools, the [[Sniper Rifle]], [[SMG]], and [[Kukri]], are all weak at close to mid range combat, with the [[Sniper Rifle]] especially being geared towards long range combat. The [[Sniper Rifle]] allows him to charge up shots when scoped for extra damage, or headshot enemies to deal a critical hit. His [[SMG]] and [[Kukri]] serve as his main forms of self defense, with the [[SMG]] being used at mid range while the [[Kukri]] serves as a last resort, close range tool for self defense. Due to their effectiveness being primarily limited to long range, Snipers often position themselves in the backlines, where they can be as far away from combat as possible while still being effective. As a result, their main counters include classes that are skilled at flanking, such as [[Spy]] and [[Scout]]. | ||
Snipers gameplay loop often consists of finding an effective sightline to attack from, charging shots while scoped, and headshotting or bodyshotting enemies to eliminate them from a distance. Due to the resulting tunnel vision, he's often easily flanked, and must either depend on his team to protect him or maintain awareness to ensure an enemy isn't able to get close to him. Aside from flanking, a major threat to Sniper is other Snipers, who often contest each other for control of sightlines, which in turn can make it easier for their teams to push or defend. Due to their effectiveness at long range and capacity for high damage, their primary targets are other enemy Snipers, [[Heavies]] due to their slow speed, and [[Medics]] due to their power and low health pool. | |||
