Octosnipers appear much taller than many of their Octarian counterparts.

Octosnipers are much taller than most other Octarians. They are stationed on immobile platforms from which they blow shots of ink through instruments that appear similar to a lengthened megaphone. They wear a set of goggles with a laser sight protruding from their left eye. The green laser that comes from the sight reveals where they are looking, and the laser turns red when they spot the player or another suspicious object. Like many Octarians, they also appear to possess short, stubby legs.
 
==Gameplay==
Octosnipers are completely immobile unless on a moving platform. They are traditionally situated in higher locations to get a better shot at the player. When an Octosniper spots a player, they will focus their laser sight on the player, charge, and fire a blast similar to that of a fully charged shot from a weapon in the [[charger]] category. This creates a trail of ink.
 
It is recommended the player stays behind cover and hide in their ink when confronting an Octosniper, especially in [[Octo Canyon (mode)|Octo Canyon]] or the ''[[Octo Expansion]]'' where they can break the player's armor in one hit. The most effective way of dealing with an Octosniper is to get close to it by swimming slowly through ink or take cover and spray it down before it notices. [[Sub weapon]]s such as [[Splat Bomb]]s and [[Autobomb]]s can also be easily used to splat it given the fact that Octosnipers cannot move and, in turn, cannot run away from a sub weapon. Octosnipers are quite observant and will notice the player if they swim too fast in ink. Octosnipers are very powerful at a distance, but their firing device is too long to reach the player when they are too close. Touching one will cause the player to recoil, but nothing else.

Octosnipers are completely immobile unless on a moving platform. They are traditionally situated in higher locations to get a better shot at the player. When an Octosniper spots a player, they will focus their laser sight on the player, charge, and fire a blast similar to that of a fully charged shot from a weapon in the [[charger]] category. This creates a trail of purple ink.


It is recommended the player stays behind cover and hide in their ink when confronting an Octosniper, as a direct hit from one is fatal. The most effective way of dealing with an Octosniper is to get close to it through ink or cover and spray it down before it notices. If there is no easy cover or ink available, a [[sub weapon]] such as a {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Splat Bomb}} can distract it to give the player time. These sub weapons can also be easily used tosplat it in general given the fact that Octosnipers cannot move and, in turn, cannot run away from a sub weapon. Octosnipers are quite observant and will notice the player if they swim too fast in ink. Octosnipers are very powerful on a distance, but they cannot fire when the player is close. Touching one will cause the player to recoil, but nothing else.

Octosnipers are Octarian enemies in Octo Valley, Octo Canyon, the Octo Expansion, and Return of the Mammalians that shoot ink with long, thin, charger-like weapons.

Description

Octosnipers are much taller than most other Octarians. They are stationed on immobile platforms from which they blow shots of ink through instruments that appear similar to a lengthened megaphone. They wear a set of goggles with a laser sight protruding from their left eye. The green laser that comes from the sight reveals where they are looking, and the laser turns red when they spot the player or another suspicious object. Like many Octarians, they also appear to possess short, stubby legs.

Gameplay

Octosnipers are completely immobile unless on a moving platform. They are traditionally situated in higher locations to get a better shot at the player. When an Octosniper spots a player, they will focus their laser sight on the player, charge, and fire a blast similar to that of a fully charged shot from a weapon in the charger category. This creates a trail of ink.

It is recommended the player stays behind cover and hide in their ink when confronting an Octosniper, especially in Octo Canyon or the Octo Expansion where they can break the player's armor in one hit. The most effective way of dealing with an Octosniper is to get close to it by swimming slowly through ink or take cover and spray it down before it notices. Sub weapons such as Splat Bombs and Autobombs can also be easily used to splat it given the fact that Octosnipers cannot move and, in turn, cannot run away from a sub weapon. Octosnipers are quite observant and will notice the player if they swim too fast in ink. Octosnipers are very powerful at a distance, but their firing device is too long to reach the player when they are too close. Touching one will cause the player to recoil, but nothing else.
