The '''sniper rifle''' is an extremely accurate weapon that fires a powerful, high damage shot along a path indicated on screen. Other players can see your sniper’s line of aim, which is displayed as an orange line to them. The sniper shifts your view to a formerly offscreen location, which can leave you vulnerable to ambush from behind. |

A sniper rifle can be very useful in open areas and long corridors because of its long range and instantaneous shot. It can also be dangerous to use because the player cannot see their surroundings when aiming at a long distance. Before you shoot it you have to press "F" to aim it, and "R" if you want to reload it. |

Since you can see other player’s line of aim, avoiding sniper shots is relatively easy. You can use prediction to shield snipes (use the [[shield]] ability to block the damage) or block them with a [[wall]]. |
