Intro
Hello! It seems as though you reading this have had trouble with those Darwin's Snipers. Well look no further! Unless you don't like me. This guide will show what weapons, evasion tactics, and how to use both of those against the Darwin's Danger Shield.
What weapons do I use?
I personally like to use the Bazaar Bargain for these pests, but I've learned that the Hitman's Heatmaker and the Machina also work. The trick is to always, ALWAYS* aim for the head. That will inflict maximum damage, and kill them, or just damage them highly. Also remember to charge your shot about halfway, because of the maximum health addition and that bullet resistance. If you use the Bazaar Bargain, make sure that you have at least 3-4 heads for a faster charge rate. Make sure the Bazaar Bargain is at least 3 bars. The Machina should be charged about 3 bars, and a headshot will kill them. The Heatmaker should be the same as the rest in terms of the charge.**

A good secondary is the SMG, or the Cleaner's Carbine, because if by chance they DO survive a headshot, you can finish them with the SMG, or Cleaner's Carbine.


A good melee weapon is the normal Kukri, or the reskins.(Pan, Objector, Crossing Guard, etc.), But if you use the carbine, get the Bushwaka, as the 7 seconds of mini-crits will turn into 7 seconds of Bushwaka crits, yes. 195 DAMAGE CRITS FOR 7 STRAIGHT SECONDS!



*And we mean ALWAYS




**It is very important to headshot with the heatmaker, as if it bodyshots, it does -20% damage.
Evasion Tactics
Some good tactics to dodge those shots, is to crouch or jump in between shots. This will make it harder for the Darwin's guy to hit you. But please, for the love of Gaben, do not go behind a wall for every shot. You will just make everyone mad at you, and that's not good.
Outro
So in this guide, hopefuly you learned a thing or two, but it is my first guide, so helpful feedback is appreciated. Thanks, and goodbye!

The guide title says as a sniper, but it is entirely possible to do it as a spy.
