Tips

As a Sniper…

• …the longer you spend zoomed in the scope, the more damage the shot will do.
• …a fully charged sniper rifle head shot can kill most classes instantly.
• …aim for the head to do critical damage.
• …zoom with the sniper rifle by hitting MOUSE2.
• …use your secondary submachine gun to deal with nearby enemies.
• …your shot will usually miss if the Huntsman is pulled back longer than five seconds. Reset it by hitting MOUSE2.
• …the Fishwhacker will cause bleeding damage to the enemy being hit. Use it to fight cloaked spies!
• …movement speed while scoped in with the Hunting Revolver is higher than with the sniper rifle. Move around while aiming to be a harder target to hit.
