Tactical Advice
Role: Long Range Offense
Long War Snipers are quite similar to vanilla squadsight snipers, but there are a few differences. Squadsight no longer works on overwatch, and snipers no longer have access to the Opportunist perk, making them considerably less good defensively - you'll find snipers can't demolish enemy packs on sight before they can even take cover like they can in vanilla. Squadsight is gained immediately and unconditionally, so there are no more "snap shot" skirmishing snipers (that role goes to the Scout). However, snipers can still have Snap Shot at Corporal rank, and it's not mutually exclusive with Squadsight, allowing snipers more mobility without greatly compromising their offensive ability.
Snipers can use sniper rifles, which act like vanilla sniper rifles, and only allow firing if the user hasn't moved unless they are Snap Shot trained, but they can also use Marksman Rifles, which are shorter range sniper rifles that can be fired after moving. Snipers can use assault rifles as well, but this isn't particularly useful in practice, since the Infantry class generally performs better with assault rifles. As in vanilla, Snipers gain the most aim per rank, ending with 7 more aim than any other class at Master Sergeant.
