Editing Sharpshooter (section)

== Helping the Sharpshooter ==
* Respect the fact that the Sharpshooter needs to aim with care in order to make headshots. They are likely to be standing still while doing this, so try not to walk in front of them. 
* Do not enrage Scrakes or Fleshpounds, as it is much easier to land a headshot on them while they are not sprinting, and it's easier to line up a shot if the Sharpshooter has the enemy running towards them instead of trying to pull off a side shot while it's sprinting towards the one who raged it..
* Smoke, fire, and large specimens do not mix well for the Sharpshooter. Demolitions Experts and Firebugs should be cautious when attacking big enemies, as their actions may simply interfere with the Sharpshooter's vision, and possibly kill the one attacking the larger specimen. 
* Try to take out enemies that may attack the Sharpshooter while they are scoped in, especially if you see them focusing on a troublesome Scrake or Fleshpound.


=== Perk Ladder ===
'''''Note:''' The in-game perk description lists a general damage bonus with perk weapons; the bonus actually only applies to headshots.''

Sharpshooters have a global headshot damage multiplier, and a second headshot damage multiplier that applies only to perk weapons. The table combines these in the perk weapon area (e.g. the on-perk multiplier is ×1.6 by itself, multiplying by the global ×1.5 to get a total of ×2.4).
