Sniper Rifle (EU2012): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:45, 30 January 2014

Description

Unlike other weapons, Sniper Rifles are less accurate as the shooter's range to target decreases
Sniper rifles have the best base chance to cause critical hits
Snipers cannot move and fire in the same turn, unless trained appropriately
Consider equipping snipers with the best pistols XCOM has, so they can fire even when forced to move
