Sniper
Long-ranged, cold blooded killers of The Order, Snipers are hostile enemies found in key spots in Manufacturing West, Cascade Laboratories and the Hydroplant. Armed with High-Caliber Sniper Rifles, they often guard critical locations from intruders by executing them from afar, long before they realize what's going on.

Gameplay
Behavior
The Sniper shoots any enemies on sight and is capable of tracking them with great precision. Their rifles are extremely deadly, capable of killing most things in a few shots.
Combat Tips
Snipers give away their location with a bright orange laser, which helps the player in tracking who they're targeting. If a player manages to break line of sight with them they will continue to face the direction they last saw the player. It is important to use cover and move fast as they have a surprisingly fast rate of fire. Additionally, their shots can inflict heavy bleeding, so it is important to have a good supply of Bandages, unless the player has access to the more expensive Tech Bandage.
Once the player has unlocked and crafted the Crystalline Armor Set, as long as the player is wearing the whole set and remaining crouched without attacking, Snipers, among other enemies, will be completely unable to see them, allowing the player to approach the Sniper's position in complete safety, provided that they do not break stealth.
Unlike other Order soldiers, they are physically weak and cannot withstand too much damage.
