HECU Sniper
From Black Mesa: Wiki
Contents |
Overview
The HECU Sniper (AKA Marksman or Military Sharpshooter) is a specialized member of the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit. They may also be affiliated with the Black Ops, but this relation has not been stated by Valve explicitly.
Snipers can be found throughout Surface Tension and in On a Rail, hidden in dark windows and behind netting. Their bolt-action rifles are not usable.
Behaviour
The behavior of snipers is similar to that of the Overwatch Snipers in Half-life 2. Snipers hide in dark areas, and wait for an enemy to appear. When they target an enemy, they will turn on a red laser sight while they begin to aim for their target. Smarter snipers may wait until they have a clear shot to activate their lasers.
Tactics
The only way to kill a sniper is by using explosives, as they are too well-hidden to reliably hit with gunfire. When hit, their corpses are blasted out of their nests [1].
