Many of you enjoyed my Ripjack guide,and also requested a Sniper Rifle one. Over the past week i've been mastering it,and I finally came up with lots of tips while using it,enjoy :)
~~The Sniper Rifle~~
Many of you look at UC2 and think "fast paced action!" then you look at the sniper rifle and think "Theres no time to sniper in this game!" Behold,for you are wrong :)
The sniper rifle is different this time around. Its primary now shoows 3 vertical shots,and its alt is zoom in,with a orange laser shot. As I said before, most people find this weapon useless. Allow me to prove ya wrong :)
Now, a lot of the levels are close combat,so I suggest using the sniper rifle on the LARGE maps. Don't get me wrong, it proves useful on the small maps too.

That's nice,now how do I use it?
Well, the sniper rifle can obvoiusly be used as a sniper....rifle. Duh. However, the most overlooked thing about it is its primary fire,the triple shot. I call this the SHOTGUN. Why? Because thats exactly what it should be used for. Lets say your sniping on Solar Flare. You fire...but wait! You miss and draw the enemie's attention! He's charging at you. What do you do?! You get out of zoom,and give him a nice triple blast in the chest. The triple blast will be an insta kill about 78% of the time,depending on who your facing.
But wait,he's not dead. If he didn't die from the blast, he will barely have any HP left...so you can fire again or chop him with you melee weapon.

Whats that you say? No headshots unzoomed?
yes its true. You cannot get a headshot if your not zoomed in. Why? Blancing. If you could get a head shot,and you fire 3 shots in a line...well,you'd always get a headshot!
However, don't let this get you down about it. Remeber that the sniper rfile is made of two things: A shotgun, and a sniper rifle!

Id like to master it,but how do I go about doing that?
Practice! The sniper rifle is very hard to master due to UC2's fast paced gameplay. However, remeber that your enemy will NOT reflect the shot back at you 96% of the time!
Mastering tips:
1) Aim carefully. A perfect sniper never misses a shot. Only fire if you know its a kill shot,or a headshot. Don't waste ammo!
2)Unfornatly if your double jointed in the tumbs(like me) you may have problems aiming while moving. You can easily fix this problem by buying a smaller XBOX controller, or by keeping part of the thumb off of the stick(allowing you to turn faster)
3) Most people have problems hitting moving targets. Don't forget about the good ol' shotgun attachment. If they're running, fire in the air so the bottom shot hits them.
4) If they pull out their melee, find a wall and backflip off it and fire a shoot at thier feet. This will give you extra time to run or fire again.
Hope you enjoyed it, I will upgrade it with a Moves section sometime soon! :P
