Can an All-Sniper Squad Work?
The developers allow sniper-heavy strategies, but long range does not ensure visibility or a high kill rate.
Doctrine
Plan objective tools and line-of-sight solutions around the map rather than assuming range solves every encounter.
Use the interaction as a tool for a defined battlefield state, not as a fixed opening for every mission.
Good fit
- The required target or terrain is present.
- The squad can afford the enabling action.
- The payoff improves survival or objective tempo.
Poor fit
- Setup costs more actions than it saves.
- Line of sight or positioning breaks the chain.
- A timed objective demands immediate movement.
Test protocol
On release, reproduce the tactic against several targets, record AP and resource costs, note invalid targets and compare the result with a simpler alternative. Only then should the Wiki call it efficient or assign a build priority.

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.
