Sniper

Sniper

The sniper is a long-ranged class with the ability to 1-shot any enemy in the game. They are valued for their ability to get key picks without directly engaging the enemy team. In a typical 6v6 format, the sniper is considered an "offclass", played only when a situation presents itself. Typically, snipers are used when pushing/defending last points to get picks/delay a push. Be sure to go sniper only when the situation is right; having a sniper rather than a scout/roaming soldier can we detrimental when pushing. As a sniper, you should be going for key picks (Demoman and Medic). Be sure to hide your sniper dot and refrain from using voice commands; failure in doing so will result in the enemy team being aware of your presence.
