Even on those missions, you should always put a wraith suit on your sniper, and that + Death From Above ensures that you're able to bring your Sniper up to the rest of the squad really quickly. Any mission where you don't have to evac at the end is fine to leave your sniper on the roof of a tall building/behind cover on a hill. The sniper tree only has Kill Zone and Long Watch (and I take Long Watch over Return Fire anyways) as standout perks.
Stick Bluescreen Rounds on a gunslinger and watch Sectopods dissolve.īasically, I feel like the gunslinger tree is much more flexible than the sniper tree by miles. Fan Fire is the second-best single-target damage in the game behind Rapid Fire. I'd rather take another grenadier for CC or a gunslinger for CC/single target damage. That's actually a pretty small window in the lategame. You need enemies at 8 hp or less (Plasma Lance) to guarantee the next shot. I dunno, it's pretty strong, but it's also really situational.
QUICKDRAW OR DEATH FROM ABOVE SERIAL
Serial vs Fan Fire: The problem with Serial is that you NEED to kill to guarantee the next action. While the +10 crit from Steady Hands is a little substantial, it feels out of place because you can't crit-stack snipers (you can't put laser sights and scopes on the same weapon). Steady Hands vs Aim: Snipers benefit from these two perks the most. Kill Zone vs Faceoff: Kill Zone is fantastic. Death from Above lets you, uh, reload after a kill? I dunno. Quickdraw gives you two pistol skills per turn (yes, it works with Fan Fire AND Faceoff in the same turn).
QUICKDRAW OR DEATH FROM ABOVE FREE
Lightning Hands is free with no drawbacks if you miss.ĭeath from Above vs Quickdraw: Quickdraw easily.
It's just not reliable, and you're putting yourself at the mercy of the RNG. Even with an aim-stacked lategame sniper (Superior Scope, Superior Aim PCS, high ground), I had trouble getting 100% shots on enemies. Deadeye gives you like 3 more damage for a reduced CTH. Long Watch is a good choice here.ĭeadeye vs Lightning Hands: Is this even a contest? Lightning Hands is a free shot against any enemy in sight range. Long Watch vs Return Fire: okay, Return Fire is pretty useless. Outside of Kill Zone (which is a fantastic perk), the sniper tree gets less useful perks than the gunslinger tree.
