These elite sharpshooters have seen years of action on the tiberium devastated front lines. They are able to pick off infantry units from safe distance, and can hold off against even large infantry groups by changing position between shots. They also work wonders as support units for advancing tank formations. Mutant snipers are using old generation rifles, partly due to their lighter weight and easy availability of the weapons themselves and ammo. However, these rifles can have trouble penetrating the more advanced modern armor that certain more heavily armored infantry units are wearing. Mutant snipers are able to blend so well into the surroundings they become invisible to normal troops when they are not firing their weapon.
