The Sniper is a 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.
