When a player can position their sniper effectively, these squad members build up powerful hit-streak bonuses for as long as they remain in the same position. Higher level talents will allow a skilled sniper to move and still maintain this key advantage.
Specialists with sniper rifles and carefully-aimed single-shot weapons, Snipers can deal extreme damage at long range and make the most of good positioning and the element of surprise, potentially even getting combo kills with rapid reloads and bonus AP from some talents.
A Sniper’s main limitations are those of their weapons, particularly that sniper rifles are useless against enemies who get too close. Carry a reliable secondary weapon to compensate.
