Sniper by

## Sniper

Snipers are deadly ranged assassins often hired by mobs and bosses in the underworld. On silent nights, they stalk the rooftops and hunt targets from afar. Their prey rarely sees the arrow strike them in the dead of night.

***Spotter Team.*** Like most, snipers work with a partner for set-up and protection. The spotter is tasked with scouting the shots with a powerful spyglass and ensuring the safety of the sniper with their shield.
