'Gundam Evolution' Guide: How To Play GM Sniper

Gundam Evolution - GM Sniper — GM Sniper in Gundam Evolution Gundam Evolution

KEY POINTS

GM Sniper can destroy most units with a single headshot
The suit is virtually defenseless in close quarters
Sensor Visor allows airborne sniping in the game

The sniper configuration for the mass-produced GM suit is the apex predator of long-ranged engagements in "Gundam Evolution." It can destroy enemies in a single, well-placed shot with its high-caliber rifle and put immense pressure on long sight lines.

GM Sniper is very simple to use, but this doesn't mean that piloting it is not difficult. Like any sniper, it requires extreme precision from players. In a fast-paced game like "Gundam Evolution," landing the perfect shot won't always be easy. But there are a few ways to get more value out of GM Sniper's kit outside of just camping corridors.

Strengths and Weaknesses

GM Sniper's primary weapon deals 1.1K damage to the head. This is enough to destroy everything in a single hit except for DOM Trooper, Sazabi, Melee Zaku and Guntank. Its sniper rifle requires no charging or any form of setup – simply point it at an enemy's head and pull the trigger.

This suit excels at picking off priority targets like Unicorn, Methuss and any other enemy already damaged. Its high damage output is also great for softening targets up so allies can swoop in for easy kills.

This long-ranged dominance is offset by GM Sniper's helplessness in close quarters. Its only backup weapon, Vulcan Pod, is hard to hit and has a long 10-second cooldown.

GM Sniper's ultimate, Sensor Visor, grants the entire team wall hacks. It also lets the sniper scope in while hovering in the air. This ability brings no value in a face-to-face fight, but it does let GM Sniper get easy headshots on enemies trying to play around cover.

Tips and Tricks

GM Sniper can repair downed allies with its Repair Gun ability. This can be used from very far away, so treat it like a reverse-sniping ability to get teammates back into the fight.

While Jump Booster is typically used to get to high ground or escape from divers, don't forget that it can be used together with Sensor Visor to reach unconventional sniping angles while hovering.

Always stay near cover when sniping to easily avoid incoming shots and win sniper duels more often.

Don't be afraid to hit body shots. This often gives allied pilots a huge HP advantage when fighting against enemies.
