From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
< Phoenix Logs | UNSC Units
- 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.
