Regular Sniper robots appear in small numbers and behave like human Snipers, offering support to their teammates. A notification appears when Snipers spawn, and players may yell "Sniper!" to alert their team to the robot's presence.

Sniper robots never carry the bomb, preferring to use their Sniper Rifles to hit players from afar. Their weapons emit a laser, showing players where they're aiming and giving away their position. Snipers may relocate to avoid grenades and rockets but will rarely do so to get a view of their enemy, so players occupied with other robots like Tanks are advised to stay out of the Sniper's sights. If players get close to a Sniper robot, it'll take out its Kukri or SMG.

Their aim is deadly accurate, so they will always hit a player in sight. Though, they can't deal headshot damage and will usually not wait to charge their rifle, giving players a chance to ambush the robot.

Bowman

Bowman Huntsman
Huntsman


The Bowman is a special robot. It can pick up the bomb unlike the other Snipers and it acts like other robots assisting the tank at close up. Unlike a Sniper robot, it is equipped with the Huntsman, allowing it to fight more easily up close, but not from a distance. Being special robots, they appear far less frequently than the regular Snipers.

Sydney Sniper

Sydney Sleeper


The Sydney Sniper is a special robot that appears in Mann vs. Machine, being one of the counterparts of the human Sniper. Unlike the normal robotic Snipers, it is equipped with the Sydney Sleeper, allowing it to fight more easily far away, but not up close. The Sydney Sniper fires shots that douse the enemy in Jarate, turning all damage taken into mini-crits. However, with the Sydney Sleeper they cannot Headshot, making their weapon weaker. These robots are also equipped with a Kukri and SMG, and may use them if players get close. Being special robots, they appear far less frequently than the regular Snipers.
