− | + | The [[Sniper (competitive)|Sniper]] specializes in long range area denial. He is frequently used to get a pick on a Medic in case of a stalemate. He deals decent damage at close range, but not enough to match other classes. | |

− | The Sniper's primary weapons | + | The Sniper's primary weapons are his main source of damage, and constitutes his only long-range damage. All Sniper Rifles can be charged up to deal increased damage, and all but the Sydney Sleeper can deal headshots for guaranteed critical hits. All but the Huntsman provide a visible Sniper dot while scoped. The stock Sniper Rifle, Sydney Sleeper, Hitman's Heatmaker, and Bazaar Bargain can shoot without being scoped, dealing accurate but low damage. |
=== Sniper Rifle === | === Sniper Rifle === | ||
− | + | The stock Sniper Rifle provides the simplest source of damage. It can kill any enemy on a fully charged headshot, and can deal significant damage on a bodyshot. | |

=== Primary Weapon Usage === | === Primary Weapon Usage === | ||
− | + | ||
+ | The Sydney Sleeper and the Huntsman are uncommon choices, due to an overall reduced damage output, but can be useful to assist the team. The stock Sniper Rifle deals consistent long-range damage, and can kill most classes with a quick headshot. The Bazaar Bargain is good for a Sniper who can hit headshots consistently, thus ramping up the charge rate. The Machina is useful for dealing increased damage, or for getting multiple kills with a single shot. The Hitman's Heatmaker is good for extremely accurate Snipers, since consistent headshots can eliminate unscoping completely (at the cost of revealing your location). Snipers, due to their situational use, tend to go for the stock Sniper Rifle for quick and consistent damage without having to reveal their position. | ||

The community competitive scene changes frequently. Some or all info may be outdated.
The Sniper specializes in long range area denial. He is frequently used to get a pick on a Medic in case of a stalemate. He deals decent damage at close range, but not enough to match other classes.
Primary Weapon
The Sniper's primary weapons are his main source of damage, and constitutes his only long-range damage. All Sniper Rifles can be charged up to deal increased damage, and all but the Sydney Sleeper can deal headshots for guaranteed critical hits. All but the Huntsman provide a visible Sniper dot while scoped. The stock Sniper Rifle, Sydney Sleeper, Hitman's Heatmaker, and Bazaar Bargain can shoot without being scoped, dealing accurate but low damage.
Sniper Rifle
The stock Sniper Rifle provides the simplest source of damage. It can kill any enemy on a fully charged headshot, and can deal significant damage on a bodyshot. The AWPer Hand has the same stats as the stock Sniper Rifle.

Huntsman
The Huntsman is designed for medium range combat. It is affected by gravity, but fires faster than the stock Sniper Rifle. It has a limit on the time it can maintain full charge, and has less ammunition than the stock Sniper Rifle. The Fortified Compound has the same stats as the Huntsman.

Sydney Sleeper
The Sydney Sleeper provides a stronger support basis for the team. It sacrifices the ability to deal headshots at the benefit of applying Jarate to the target on scoped hits. It also has a 25% faster charge rate than the stock Sniper Rifle.

Machina
The Machina adds damage and piercing on full charge, but reveals the Sniper's location and prevents no-scopes. The Shooting Star has the same stats as the Machina.

Hitman's Heatmaker
The Hitman's Heatmaker provides a combo system on kills and assists which grants a speedier charge time and no need to reload while active. This comes at the cost of a 20% damage penalty on bodyshots.

Primary Weapon Usage
The Sydney Sleeper and the Huntsman are uncommon choices, due to an overall reduced damage output, but can be useful to assist the team. The stock Sniper Rifle deals consistent long-range damage, and can kill most classes with a quick headshot. The Bazaar Bargain is good for a Sniper who can hit headshots consistently, thus ramping up the charge rate. The Machina is useful for dealing increased damage, or for getting multiple kills with a single shot. The Hitman's Heatmaker is good for extremely accurate Snipers, since consistent headshots can eliminate unscoping completely (at the cost of revealing your location). Snipers, due to their situational use, tend to go for the stock Sniper Rifle for quick and consistent damage without having to reveal their position.
Secondary Weapon
The Sniper deals the majority of his damage with his primary, but his secondary weapon can provide some key medium range combat damage.
SMG
The stock Submachine Gun deals strong damage at medium and close range, and can help the Sniper survive an encounter with a Scout.
