The '''Sniper''' is a class in the classic Team Fortress games. His primary weapon, the [[Sniper Rifle (Classic)|Sniper Rifle]], can kill any class with one headshot or can greatly reduce a target's speed if the victim's legs are hit. However, in order to do this, he must charge his weapon for the right amount of time. For close quarters, he is equipped with the [[Automatic Rifle (Classic)|Automatic Rifle]] and [[Nailgun (Classic)|Nailgun]].
+
The '''Sniper''' is a playable [[Classes (Classic)|class]] in ''[[Team Fortress Classic]]''. He possesses average health and the weakest [[Armor (Classic)|armor]]. He moves at a medium speed, and his [[Weapons (Classic)|weapons]] are designed to destroy all enemies at long-range.

The class' low armor prevents him from being effective in a direct firefight, so Snipers should always try to stay away and snipe from a distance, where most classes are not effective against a Sniper.

* Your Sniper Rifle can be charged by holding down the fire button. This is most useful if you cannot easily land a headshot on your target or need more damage than a headshot alone can provide.
+
* A Sniper does not need to kill every target to be effective. For example, [[Soldier (Classic)|Soldiers]] rely on their health for mobility. Simply damaging them may make it impossible for them to effectively push for the flag until they retreat in order to refill their health.
  
−
* Your Sniper Rifle has an automatic setting. Automatic can be useful if your aim is goot but depletes ammo rapidly. Use it only when pressed or your other weapons are not appropriate.
+
* Any Sniper Rifle shot to an enemy's legs will lower their running speed. Use this if you do not have the proper angle to headshot them nor the time to charge a fatal shot before they move out of your line of sight.
  
−
* Your Sniper Rifle's zoom ability does not restrict your field of vision as much as a scope usually would. Use this to your advantage as many assume you are tunnel visioned with your Sniper Rifle out
+
* Depending on the status of ''friendly fire'' on a server, Snipers can use the Sniper Rifle to launch teammates great distance using a tactic called [[Sniper Jump (Classic)|Sniper Jumping]]; however, it can be viewed as [[griefing]] unless a Sniper is asked to boost a player.

Basic Information
Health: 90 / 140
Armor: 50
Armor type: Light
Speed: 100% (300 units/s)

The Sniper is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. He possesses average health and the weakest armor. He moves at a medium speed, and his weapons are designed to destroy all enemies at long-range.

The class is ineffective in a direct firefight, so Snipers should always try to stay away from close combat as they have a large advantage over all classes from a distance.

Basic Strategy

  • Use your Sniper Rifle often.
  • Do not attempt to use your Sniper Rifle when forced into close combat. Instead, use your Nail Gun or Auto Rifle at close range; however, using the Auto Rifle can consume all the Sniper's ammo for his Sniper Rifle, as it shares ammo reserves (since it is a Sniper Rifle turned to automatic fire mode).
  • Avoid alerting enemies by hiding your laser sight until you're ready to fire.
  • Always aim for the head.
  • A Sniper does not need to kill every target to be effective. For example, Soldiers rely on their health for mobility. Simply damaging them may make it impossible for them to effectively push for the flag until they retreat in order to refill their health.
  • Any Sniper Rifle shot to an enemy's legs will lower their running speed. Use this if you do not have the proper angle to headshot them nor the time to charge a fatal shot before they move out of your line of sight.
  • Depending on the status of friendly fire on a server, Snipers can use the Sniper Rifle to launch teammates great distance using a tactic called Sniper Jumping; however, it can be viewed as griefing unless a Sniper is asked to boost a player.
