Sniper Soldier

SNIPERS!

~unnamed Malkrantian soldier in STICK 1

The Sniper Soldiers (also known as Snipers) are enemies in the STICK Franchise.

Information
This uncommon enemy can be a nuisance because they shoot the player from a far distance, often out of the player's sight. It is difficult to pinpoint their location as it is difficult to find them.

The best strategy against them is to locate one via first person view, then attack him with the ranged attack. Rangers are best against them.

If you are in a mission where you can only play as a Fighter, and the Snipers are out of reach, you should ignore them and quickly kill the enemies you can reach and then get out of their sight.

Female variant
Bigger nuisance than the male variant, as they are always out of sight, and their shots do bigger damage. However, unlike the male variant, their shots will give away their position due to the laser pointer that occurs while the shot is undergoing a 2 second charge.

Only Rangers can attack them, so if you encounter any in a Fighters only mission, ignore them and get out of the area as soon as possible.

Trivia

 * 1) The japanese name of the male variant is translated as "STICK Sniper", whereas the female variant is "STICK Blast Rifle Trooper".
 * 2) There is a melee attack programmed for the female variant, but since it is impossible to get close to them, the code is unused.
 * 3) The rifles used by both variant are not based upon any real life guns, but the bullets from the Blast Rifle appears to be based on the Dragunov bullets.
