### **Against players**

A sniper's mission is to get into a favorable position to control the opponent. Then he can cause massive damage and shoot with snipers from long distances. It will not be difficult to target the head of an opposing sniper with the proper skill, and a sniper duel will lose the opposition team a valuable teamate. Do not forget that the enemy can also incapacitate you. As a result, you must be aware of your own strengths while avoiding putting the team at risk. Although it is preferable to avoid close combat, an enemy with a low health can be easly killed with a pistol.

Kurt is equipped with a switchable module - an open sight. Installing it improves aiming speed, hip accuracy, and Kurt's movement speed, completely changing the gameplay of Kurt. He becomes a mid-range sniper, as the open sight has no optical zoom.

### **Against bots**

A sniper's primary mission in PVE is to eliminate the most deadly bots, which include snipers, grenade launchers, and chemists. It is strongly advised to destroy them before they fire their first shot, as they may inflict significant damage to friends. It is most effective to shoot in the head since one shot is all that is required, saving time and ammo. With more gaming experience, you'll be able to predict where the bots will appear, allowing you to kill them even faster.  In your free time apart from eliminating these bots, you can assist the team with fire support. Mines are ideal for tasks that require defense. Optics in PVE lets you to rapidly kill targets from a long distance while not blocking your view. The open scope benefits aren't very relevant for a sniper in PVE, so it's pointless to utilize it.
