## Gameplay Information

The **"Marshall"** is a Sniper weapon released in the 12.5.3 update.

## Appearance

It is a semi-automatic sniper rifle. It is mostly dark-gray, with the handle, stock, and magazine being a brown color. The optics on the scope and the barrel of the gun are gray.

## Strategy

It deals strong damage, good fire rate, average capacity and good mobility.

### Tips

* Try to get a hidden area for covering due to its slower fire rate.
* Use this weapon at long distances to maximize the scope's usefulness.
* Be sure to aim for the head to maximize damage and conserve ammo.
* In Team Fight, pick off key targets (i.e. Ghost Lantern users) to prevent enemies racking fast kills.
* After racking a kill from a sniping spot, move to another position due to obvious reasons.
* When against an unarmored opponent, aim for the center of mass instead. They will be downed in a single body shot, and aiming for the center of mass can make aiming easier.
* Take the time to aim first if locked in a sniper duel.
* If used in close ranges combined with precision, it heavily damages your target. Tearing the bulk of their health and armor away, making them easy to finish off.
* As the scope heavily decreases your field of view, occasionally unscope and look at your surroundings to look for any potential attackers.
* Its 10x scope makes it a devastating weapon from a long distance.
* It is possible to use this weapon for medium-range combat too. This technique requires more skills.
* Its high fire rate allows you to tear down enemy armor and highly-mobile enemies.
* Use the Grenade Launcher for emergency purposes (such as when being surrounded).

### Counters

* Try strafing around before unskilled users can aim you.
* Using explosive weapons will make the enemy fall from his/her sniping area or disorient him/her. It could also kill him or her.
* This does not fare well when surrounded. However, do not be fooled though, as unexpected surprises (such as when he is using grenade launcher) can be performed.
* Skilled player is always a problem. As the slow reloading time will no longer be a problem to them. So always get covered and get an ranged area damage weapon and fast mobility primary weapon to increase the chance of taking down the users.
* Get close with a powerful weapon, however, if you approach head-on, experienced users can kill you whilst excluding the scope. Ambush the user or attack from behind for the best results.
* A fast-firing weapon with a scope such as the Guerrilla Rifle will make the most of the weapon's slow firing speed.
* Avoid routes which other users are known to frequent.
