This is a special class of Drones that, as the name implies, are assigned sniping tasks. To assist them in their already excellent marksmanship, Snipers wear special goggles to accurately pinpoint an unsuspecting enemy. They are armed with the Longshot, a rifle equipped with a long barrel and a sniper scope to target enemies from long distances.
Snipers are playable characters in versus mode for both Gears of War and Gears of War 2.
