Phoenix Logs/UNSC Units/Sniper


 * Stealthy reconnaissance and marksman unit.


 * Snipers are specialized infantry units armed with a sniper rifle and accompanied
 * by a spotter drone. Snipers are equipped with cloaking tech. which they can use
 * to camouflage themselves as they scout out enemy targets. The base rifle is
 * only effective against infantry, but the Stanchion upgrade arms the Sniper
 * with a portable railgun that deals heavier damage against ground troops.


 * Drawn from experienced Marine force reconnaissance and Army cavalry scouts,
 * the Spirit of Fire's sniper teams have traditionally operated in the background as
 * unsung heroes of many skirmishes and aerial strikes. Equipped with
 * photoreactive cloaks and deceptive jammers, Snipers are extremely difficult to
 * detect until they prepare to strike. After a sniper engages, a canny commander
 * should redeploy them to another vantage point to avoid retaliatory fire.
