Batarian Sniper

The Batarian Sniper carries a sniper rifle into combat, providing a ranged fire support to his comrades.

During the Bring Down the Sky mission to stop batarians from crashing an asteroid into the human colony of Terra Nova, a batarian sniper is deployed with Charn's squad, which was sent by Balak to put an end to Shepard's actions on the asteroid. If Shepard chooses to attack Charn, the sniper will proceed with other batarian troops in a counterattack.

Tactics
Since this sniper does not begin with an elevated or covered position, he loses much of the advantage enjoyed by other snipers. This fact may be used to the player's advantage by taking him down quickly with whatever weapons or powers in which Shepard and squad are proficient.
