Each sniper wears a form-fitting black jumpsuit and lightweight body armour, which protects the chest area from regular caliber bullets and shrapnel. They are also equipped with full helmets with red visors, containing night vision modules as well as integrated rebreathers. They are excellent marksmen with their high powered Vervac R-59 sniper rifles. Typically, they support frontline troops from a distance, occupying a vantage point and providing covering fire. Snipers can also carry other weapons, such as the laser rifle, Vulture shotgun or the simple, but reliable Raptor automatic rifle.
