The Sniper on traditional sniping

The Walkabout would have been available to Snipers after attaining a certain number of achievements. It was, however, replaced by the Huntsman because the development team thought it made the Sniper function too similarly to players wielding sniper rifles in the Template:W series of games.[citation needed]
