Editing Sniper (6v6) (section)

== Strategies ==
Before switching from Scout to Sniper, consider the costs of doing so; Sniper has average movement speed and capture rate, and poor direct combat capabilities. If you choose to switch, focus on picking off dangerous enemies from a distance.

Try to get picks without putting yourself at too much risk. While passing up a free kill on a Soldier or Scout may open up an opportunity for a Medic pick, taking the shot will give your team a numbers advantage. Consider using the scoreboard to identify high-value targets; if an enemy player has an unusually high score, he is likely giving your team trouble - try to kill him first if the opportunity arises. Even if you don't have time to charge up a shot, an uncharged headshot will greatly weaken enemies, who will often have little choice but to retreat, taking pressure off your team.
