Neither the [[Covenant Carbine|Carbine]], the [[Battle Rifle]], nor the [[Focus Rifle]] are considered sniping [[weapons]], but they can be used as such. Both weapons are [[headshot]]-capable, and both possess scopes that allow for long-range battles. | Neither the [[Covenant Carbine|Carbine]], the [[Battle Rifle]], nor the [[Focus Rifle]] are considered sniping [[weapons]], but they can be used as such.

A sniper can dodge shots fired from another sniper rather easily; all that is required is strafing. Dodging the splash damage from a Scorpion's blast is more difficult. [[Wraith]]s are similarly dangerous to a sniper. Heavy vehicles are particularly effective if their pilots can approach the sniper without being seen until they fire the shot; if they fire from a shorter distance, the sniper will have a shorter time to see the shot, react, and dodge. Best of all, another tried and true tactic is to simply run your opponent over, though this has caused mixed results depending on which vehicle is used. | A sniper can dodge shots fired from another sniper rather easily; all that is required is strafing.
