Sniper

The  is one of the five basic upgrade choices from the Tank and can be selected at Level 15. The Sniper may further upgrade into the Assassin, Overseer, Hunter, or Trapper.

Design
The Sniper features a circular base with a long rectangular Barrel on the front. Compared to its unupgraded form, it has a bit longer Barrel.

Technical
The Sniper has an increased field of vision, as well as Bullet Speed. However, it has a reduced rate of fire and slight decrease in Movement Speed.

Offensive

 * Use your larger sight range to your advantage. Your low fire rate hinders close-quarters-combat, so avoid it if possible.
 * A swarm of Crashers could very quickly overpower the Sniper and its slow firing bullets, so stay out of the Pentagon Nest when your level is low.
 * Farming from Squares or Triangles will be hard due to your fire rate, so focus on Pentagons or low-level tanks or max out Reload. Alternatively, increase Bullet Penetration and Bullet Speed to hit many Squares in a line.
 * It would also be ideal to wait till you're at level 30 or 45 to start upgrading since the Tank has a somewhat fast fire rate and is able to defend itself in close-quarters-combat.
 * Ideally, a skilled Sniper approaches the enemy (who does not know his presence), it fires a bullet at each target and leaves without being seen.
 * This tactic can be done only with the Ranger, Assassin, Stalker and Hunter. But each tank has different skills, for example the Stalker has the ability to be invisible, and the Ranger can take targets out from much further away.

Trivia

 * The Sniper looks uncannily similar to the Regular Tank and as such may be mistaken as one. The only difference is that it has a longer cannon.
 * The Sniper and its upgrades' bullets do not slow down when travelling through obstacles (bullets, Polygons), which may be helpful for farming.
 * The sniper branch of the class tree is the largest of the Tier 2 branches.
 * A sniper can become one of 12 distinct Tier 4 classes, as well as an additional 4 Tier 3 classes.
 * It also has three other Tier 4 classes that can be accessed without using Sniper. These are the Battleship, Gunner Trapper and Streamliner.
