Sharpshooter is an Outlaw mob enemy.
Codex[ | ]
Equipped with custom-modified sniper rifles, sharpshooters accompany raiding parties as scouts and long-range combatants. A well-trained sharpshooter can pick off an unprepared explorer before they even know there are enemies nearby.
The skill of many of these sharpshooters is, ironically, the result of Initiative colonist defense training before leaving the Milky Way. Strategically, it was believed that well-armed snipers would be simple but effective defenders of their outposts, with a lowered risk of losing personnel in the event of an attack. It appears this training has now been passed along.
Stats[ | ]
Sharpshooters are health and shield enemies. 
Notes[ | ]
The Sharpshooter can be scanned for Aid APEX. Angaran, Outlaw, and Roekaar Sharpshooters count separately toward Aid APEX and provide Research Data based on origin.
There is a minor change in the scan analysis between Outlaw Sharpshooters and Angaran/Roekaar Sharpshooters. The final words armed with a long-range weapon are replaced with armed with a sniper rifle.
Depending upon the type of Sharpshooter encountered, the sniper rifle they carry may change visually but functions in the same fashion. The red laser sight will appear and a single shot will be fired.
- Angaran and Roekaar Sharpshooters carry Isharay sniper rifles
- Outlaw Sharpshooters carry Viper sniper rifles
