| —Trait description |
Spreadshooter Sniper, colloquially known as Close-range or Boomstick Sniper, is a branch of the Sniper class in Arknights.
Spreadshooter Snipers have an above-average ATK and their attacks hit all enemies within their range of 1×3 ahead of them with a 1×1 extension up front or 2×3 from Elite 1, with their ATK increased to 150% against enemies on the 1×3 row straight ahead. They also have higher HP and DEF than other Snipers, but their DP cost is the highest of all Snipers.

Strategies[edit]
- Spreadshooter Snipers are best used in circumstances where enemies come in groups at regular intervals. Thanks to their above-average ATK and damage-increasing trait, Spreadshooters can still deal a significant amount of damage against enemies with above-average DEF. They're especially effective against a
Tips[edit]
- Spreadshooter Snipers' very short attack range makes them highly susceptible to ranged damage- in spite of their good HP and DEF for a ranged Operator- especially from enemies who can target more than one target and deal Arts damage.
- To account for this, Defenders are recommended to both bait the damage and group enemies together.
- Spreadshooter Snipers' high DP cost means that Vanguards are essential to be able to deploy them early.
Trivia[edit]
- Until Mansfield Break introduced Pinecone, Spreadshooter Sniper was the only class branch that was exclusively made up of male Operators.
- This is the only class branch with an equal number of male and female Operators.
