[WoTC]ADVENT Sniper

Description
The Advent Sniper is a deadly sharpshooter equipped with a lethal sniper rifle, that annihilates foes from afar.

Advent Snipers have extreme range, sometimes even shooting you from beyond their line of sight, making use of their Squadsight and Longwatch abilities to zone out challengers. They will overwatch more than any enemy, waiting for a chance for their foes to expose themselves.

There are three tiers of Advent Snipers. The regular Advent Sniper, the Advanced Advent Sniper, and the Elite Advent Sniper.They spawn relatively early game, all they way through the late game.

ADVENT Snipers drop ADVENT Sniper corpses. Which are autopsied to aquire their weapon.

That's right, much like the Hunter's sniper rifle, the ADVENT sniper rifle is limited to one per game, there's no way to get another one, so make sure you don't lose it. There are three tiers of sniper rifles.All rifles are magnetic but higher tiers will have increased damage. All three tiers have three weapon mods slots. With the Modular Snipers breakthough it can be increased to four slots. Unlike the Chosen sniper, the ADVENT sniper does require 2 action points to shoot.

Notable changes from Vanilla version are:
-No executioner ability.
-The Sniper will overwatch a little bit less.
-Corpse requirement for autopsy reduced to 1.
-Snipers only use 1 action point to shoot or longwatch.
-XCOM can now use the sniper rifle that the ADVENT Sniper uses.

Huge thanks to Yard1PL for making the weapon model, and changing the unit model for me.

If you encounter any bugs or have any suggestions, don't hesitate to leave them in the comments.

Also if anyone could please make me a image for the sniper to use in the inventory screen, I'll hugely appretiate it.

I think the Naga fills the role in LWotC.

Don't Long war of The Chosen have these guys already?

Granted, it can be easily tweaked, but I'm not sure why you would choose to give a long range unit more health than the standard ADVENT trooper.

Any way to get their armor?

Hello! I'm working on a large multiplayer mod that adds new units to MP. I would like to ask your permission to use the ADVENT Sniper model in it. I will be very grateful to you.

the avent snipers you get from resistance orders are always tier 1 snipers even when you reached late game, anyone know how to fix it?

This mod is compatible with Long War of the Chosen, correct?

But yeah some CI bridge mods for both the Sniper and Duelist would be nice ^^;;

I think the same can be said for your Advent duelist as well
