How Snipers Work Without Fog of War
Zero Company does not use fog of war, but long range does not guarantee line of sight to every target.
Rule in one sentence
Zero Company does not use fog of war, but long range does not guarantee line of sight to every target.
An all-sniper squad is allowed, yet terrain and target visibility can lower its kill rate.
Decision checklist
- Check sight lines rather than relying on range alone.
- Use squad composition to solve the current scenario, not a universal range rule.
- Keep tools for objectives and close threats even in a marksman-heavy squad.
Evidence boundary
The official answer establishes the rule, but it does not publish every numeric modifier, menu label or difficulty exception. Those details remain outside this pre-release answer.
Test case for August 27
The shipping build will be checked in a repeatable state: record the relevant setting or tooltip, reproduce the behavior, note platform and difficulty, then update the direct answer only if the observed rule differs from EA's July statement.
Source and evidence boundary
The direct answer on this page is grounded in a first-party publication. It does not convert unreleased values, inferred story beats or marketing footage into confirmed gameplay data. Any development-stage value will be checked again against the launch build.
