Description[]
The primary objective of the sniper is to provide long-range combat support for the entire team. The secondary objective of the sniper is to conduct scouting operations in tactical vantage points against the enemy. This role is equipped with a bolt-action rifle featuring a high-powered optic for long range engagements, a sidearm for emergencies, two field dressings for wounds, a shovel for construction of deployables, and a pair of binoculars for scouting and ranging targets. This role is strongly recommended to be used in large, open maps with cover or urban maps with tall buildings. It is strongly discouraged to use the sniper in close quarters combat. If used correctly, the sniper can be the most lethal member of the team and can inflict heavy casualties on the enemy when least expected.
The Canadian Army sniper is equipped with the C14 Timberwolf. The Russian Airborne Forces is equipped with the SV-98M. The Insurgents sniper is equipped with the Mosin Nagant M1891 with a 3.5x PU scope.
