Sniper

"Sniper" redirects here. You may be looking for the sniper rifle page or the Sniper armor permutation in Halo: Reach. A sniper is an infantry specialist equipped with a high-precision weapon, typically a sniper rifle. Snipers engage targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the detection capabilities of enemy personnel.

United Nations Space Command
With some exceptions, UNSC snipers are typically deployed as part of a two-person sniper-spotter team.

Snipers may carry specialist accessories on their combat armor, such as the Supplementary bandoleer, Semi-rigid, Special Applications Rifle (Anti-materiel), which enables the wearer to carry extra sniper rifle ammunition on their shoulder.

Covenant
The Covenant commonly deployed Kig-Yar specialists in sniper roles, a tradition upheld by many of the hegemony's remnant groups.
