The sniper rifle is also the only weapon in the game to have locational damage. Head shots deal far more damage than regular body shots, and leg shots can cripple your target's movement speed.

-* The best sniping spots are generally regarded to be those with a height advantage; many of the best sniping spots leave you only vulnerable to enemy Snipers. However, Snipers can and do operate at ground level effectively if they take care to find good cover.
+* As a Sniper, you are pretty weak at short range. Save your [[Grenade:Frag|Frag Grenades]] for close encounters, and have an escape route ready if you are attacked from behind.
-* Staying in one spot as a Sniper is not a good tactic most of the time. Any experienced Fortress Forever player takes care to alert his team if he spots a Sniper and gives away his location - if an enemy fires at you, you have likely been discovered. That means it is high time to move to another position to avoid the inevitable enemy grenades.

 The Sniper is the master of long range combat in Fortress Forever. Packing a sniper rifle, assault rifle, and nailgun, the Sniper is often the first line of defense for a team. By communicating enemy attack routes to teammates, tagging incoming enemies, and disabling the enemy with crippling leg shots, a skilled Sniper can be a valuable asset to the team. On some maps, he can also serve as offensive support by taking out enemy defenders and sentry guns from long range. The farther away a Sniper's enemies are, the better. Consequently, his options at short range are limited. If you like to destroy the enemy before they even have a chance to hurt you, serve as the first line of defense, and support your team at long range, the Sniper is for you.
