But I think that's the reason why he's so expensive.
I use sniper for running people, if they run with their jetpack and walk on the ground I sniper them.

Now now, don't be a liar. I've watched you run away and snipe IXI, Tenchry and countless others when you're about to die.

Another thing is fire rate. Certain weapons, mainly ones that are weak and fire rapidly, actually make the sniper shoot their target even faster when being attacked by them. Since the sniper rifle can kill anybody in two hits, this is a major exploit when trying to kill snipers with whatever means you have at hand. I've also seen this effect happen with the plasmasabre, when I fight one with weapons that attack rapidly, but don't necessarily "lame" and stun the target.

Tsk. I've seen a lot of threads about issues with weapons being lame. I'll take a look into it.
