Sharpshooter specialization guide

What Sharpshooter does

A long-range specialist that rewards protected sightlines, elevation, and deliberate target selection.

The official role describes the job, not a mandatory weapon or fixed squad. Standard Specializations can support different Operators and can be adjusted at The Den as the campaign develops.

Field strengths

• Long reach
• Precise single-target pressure
• Benefits strongly from high ground

Planning risks

• Repositioning competes with shooting for AP
• Close pressure can collapse the firing lane

Squad fit

Give the Sharpshooter a Heavy or Assault front line, then use Scout information to prioritize high-value targets.

Before committing Focus Points

• Name the job this Operator performs on the current squad.
• Check whether the weapon AP cost supports that job.
• Identify which teammate creates the opening this role needs.
• Preserve a recovery or retreat plan before moving forward.
