The Sniper mastery often flies under the radar, but its versatility shines as it complements various weapon types and packs a punch by facilitating one-hit kills (OHKOs).
It may seem counterintuitive, but the shotgun stands out as a strong choice for Sniper enthusiasts. This is due to the ideal ranges offered by the combination of Eagle Eye and Sniper. If you have an affinity for shotguns, it’s worth exploring Sniper mastery.
After delving into this guide, my aim is for you to become adept at conquering the game with this mastery. Similar to my other guides, this one is tailored to help you navigate the Nightmare difficulty level.

You should first prioritize investing two skill levels in Hellrunner, as this will provide stability throughout your run and is generally beneficial. بعد ذلك, focus on acquiring the prerequisites for the Sniper skill. Your key decision point will come when selecting a branch, which hinges on whether you can access Mimir.
If you can access Mimir, note that it offers the potential to print an exotic shotgun, although it’s not guaranteed and carries some risk. بدلاً عن ذلك, in the Mines/Rift branch, having JS armor is still valuable as it allows you to eventually achieve a 200% critical hit rate. بالإضافة إلى ذلك, in Mines, you can come across the JS super shotgun, which is arguably the best shotgun in the game.
If you happen to find an exotic shotgun or a dual shotgun, refer to the section on the shotgun build. إذا لم يكن كذلك, and you likely ventured into the Mines/Rift branch and obtained a pair of JS armor, then focus on the non-shotgun build strategy.

Congratulations on obtaining an exotic shotgun (or the Monster) on Callisto, but you may be running low on shotgun shells. To address this, it’s essential to acquire Scavenger 1 to ensure you don’t run out of ammo. Since shotguns are highly ammo-efficient, Scavenger 1 should suffice. If you don’t have a suitable AV2 shotgun AMP, consider visiting Ruins, Refueling Base/the Pit, Shadow Halls, or Io Blacksite to obtain the AV3 AMP for the most commonly used weapon type.
Once you reach level 10, your core build is complete. You can consider other options such as completing Hellrunner 3, investing in Son of a Gun (SoG) to guarantee a 100% critical hit chance even when not at maximum range, and taking Juggler to facilitate quick reloads of your shotguns (plasma and 12 gauge) after adding the Loading Holster bulk mod to them.
It’s worth noting that the plasma shotgun you can find at Io 1 is likely superior to all other shotguns except the super shotgun, jackhammer, and the Monster.

If you didn’t manage to acquire a shotgun, I recommend searching for a 7.62 rifle. Modify it with a speed-loader, calibrate 1, and auto-calibrate to optimize its performance. Since you have the JS armor, aim to reach as close to a 100% base critical hit chance as possible.
In version 1.6, I’ve been rushing SoG3, but it’s possible to clear Europa effectively with Hellrunner 2 and Sniper. An experimental approach you can consider is obtaining Whizkid 1, allowing you to mod Crit 10 onto your helmet and armor, most likely in Io 1. This would enable you to achieve a 200% critical hit chance at maximum range. بدلاً عن ذلك, you can try to acquire a 20% crit chance or better perk on your amp, but that involves some risk. Keep in mind that waiting until level 13 to obtain Whizkid might be too late to apply the Crit 10 mods, so plan your progression accordingly.
أيضًا, be sure to explore branches that offer AV3 AMPs for your most frequently used weapon type to further enhance your character’s capabilities.
Gameplay Notes
Sniper mastery is all about securing one-hit kills, so it’s crucial to maintain distance from your enemies whenever possible. If you ever find yourself in doubt or facing a challenging situation, don’t hesitate to retreat to a safer position.
When using shotguns, especially in encounters with groups of enemies, it’s advisable to aim manually. The default angle of attack may not effectively hit all enemies, but manual aiming can help you target them accurately. This is particularly noticeable when using the focused shotgun. بالإضافة إلى ذلك, start stockpiling 7.62 ammo from Europa L2-3 onwards, as you can convert it into shotgun shells once you acquire the Scavenger skill.
Sniper skills can be effectively combined with melee combat, so if you come across a powerful melee weapon, consider keeping it as a backup option.
أخيرا, make sure to preserve your large medkits and large military packs for the Harbinger fight. These resources will be invaluable in that challenging encounter.
