Sharpshooter Class Builds

Master the Sharpshooter class in Ghost Recon Breakpoint! Learn about the Sensor Launcher, Armor Buster technique, and essential bonuses to dominate from afar.

Alright, Ghost! So you're looking to become a master of the long game with the Sharpshooter class in Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Smart move! This class is all about patience, precision, and picking your targets from a safe distance. Think of yourself as the eyes in the sky, spotting threats and taking them out before they even know you're there. Your main gig here is to hang back, get a good view of the battlefield, and relay that intel to your squad. When things get hairy and you need to tag a bunch of enemies fast, your Sensor Launcher is your best friend. It's like a super-powered intel grenade that highlights everyone in a radius, letting you and your team know exactly who to focus on without giving away your position. Accuracy is king for a Sharpshooter. You'll want to prioritize weapons and skills that help you land that first crucial shot. Marksman Rifles and Sniper Rifles are your bread and butter here, offering the best range and accuracy. But hey, don't forget to pack a solid Assault Rifle too. Sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty, or an enemy gets too close for comfort. ## Class Summary ### Class Item - Sensor Launcher This bad boy launches a wide-area intel grenade that tags and highlights all enemies in red outlines for a short time. Super useful for getting a quick overview of a hot zone. ### Bonuses As a Sharpshooter, you'll get some sweet perks: * Long Ranged Proficiency: Your DMRs and Sniper Rifles get a boost to reload speed and handling. At higher levels, this gets even better (+10% reload speed and +30 handling at level 6). * Deep Lungs: You can hold your breath for way longer while aiming or swimming. This goes from +50% longer breath control to +100% at level 2, which is a massive help for lining up those perfect shots. ### Class Technique - Armor Buster This is where you really start to pack a punch. The Armor Buster technique loads 3 special bullets into your Sniper Rifle or Marksman Rifle. These next 3 shots deal a whopping +200 damage, have maximum penetration, and +100 Range. It's designed to absolutely melt armored targets like Behemoths, Incubus variants, or even armored vehicles. Be warned, it takes a few seconds to load these special rounds, so plan accordingly! * How to Charge: You charge this up by killing enemies, damaging drones, getting headshots, and scoring kills from long range (150m+). * Synergy: This technique stacks really well with the High Grade Ammo from the Engineer class, so consider teaming up! ## Level Rewards As you level up, you'll get a skill point each level, plus some cool gear and unlocks: * Level 2: Deep Lungs boost to +100%, Sniper Appearance. * Level 3: MC Alpine. * Level 4: Sharpshooter emblem. * Level 5: Senior Sharpshooter. * Level 6: Long Ranged Proficiency boosted. * Level 7: Strong Arm Melee. * Level 8: Sharpshooter Elite. * Level 9: Eagle Eye. * Level 10: Scorpio Scout Blueprint (a lighter, mobile version). * Level 11: Skell Credits/Metal Parts. * Level 12: Commissar Gloves. * Level 13: Skell Credits/DMR Parts. * Level 14: Commissar Shirt. * Level 15: Skell Credits/Sniper Parts. * Level 16: Commissar Slacks. * Level 17: Skell Credits/Assault Rifle Parts. * Level 18: Commissar Coat. * Level 19: Skell Credits/Elite Weapon Parts. * Level 20: A-TACS FG, Commissar Helm, and the MK14 Assault.
