By concentrating our efforts on a single, focused discharge of plasma, and ignoring some of the previous design constraints regarding size, weight, and rate of fire, we've developed an extremely lethal long range weapon.

Notes
| Research Required | Plasma Sniper |
| Base Costs | §250 25 Alloys 30 Elerium 25 Engineers |
| Base Damage | 8-10 |
| Critical Damage | 13 or 15 |
| Critical Chance | 35% |
| Range | Long |
| Abilities | None |
- Naturally, the Plasma Sniper Rifle can only be equipped by the Sniper class.
- This weapon is a game changer when it is first deployed due to its power, although its effectiveness will be reduced as the aliens field more heavier and better armored units.
- While the listed Critical Damage (on the EW DLC) is 14-16, the actual values are 13 (33% of the shots) or 15 (66%) due to a bug.
- If the Sniper is equipped with a S.C.O.P.E., and the S.C.O.P.E Upgrade has been acquired, the Critical Chance for that Sniper raises to 45%. Flanking/Exposed shots add another 50%.
- If the Second Wave option, Absolutely Critical is chosen, even Hardened aliens can succumb to regular crits!
- Plasma Sniper Rifle research benefits from the following Research Credits: Plasma Weapons, Weapons Technology, All Technology.
- On the Enemy Within DLC, the building costs for each Plasma Sniper Rifle have been increased to §375, 60 Elerium and 50 Alloys.
