The Sniper is one of the four basic upgrade choices from the Tank and can be selected at level 15.
The Sniper upgrade allows the tank to see more of the map at once and improves its Bullet Damage and Bullet Penetration slightly. The Sniper's Reload is also decreased. The Sniper may further upgrade into the Assassin, Overseer, or Hunter.
Design
The Sniper features a circular base with a long rectangular barrel on the front.
Technical
It increases field of vision and projectile damage.
Strategy
Use your larger sight range to your advantage, your low fire rate hinders close-quarters-combat so avoid it if possible.
Farming from Yellow Squares or Red Triangles will be hard due to your fire rate, so focus Blue Pentagons or lower level tanks. Alternatively, increase Bullet Penetration and Bullet Speed to hit many squares in a line.
Trivia
- The Sniper looks uncannily similar to a regular base tank and as such may be mistaken as one.
- The Sniper and its upgrades' bullets do not slow down when traveling through obstacles (bullets, polygons).
