Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles is both a type of weapon and its corresponding unlockable combat-oriented talent available to soldiers and infiltrators.

Sniper rifles are slow and usually overheat after two shots in quick succession. However, they make up for this in range and damage; higher-level Sniper Rifles retain accuracy at incredible ranges, and they will often kill weaker enemies in one shot. Beware, though; close-range encounters are not recommended, due to the fact that you will more than likely miss any shots in close combat.
