User:Impurest Cheese/Task 28- Counter Sniper


 * Counter Sniper is an Optional Task given to you by Admiral Hood to aid in the invasion of Harvest by the UNSC Reinforcements.

PDA Task

 * Admiral Hood will contact you in the 18th hour with the tasks Suicidal Tendencies, Blue Square and Lead & Plasma as well as Counter Sniper. All four of these tasks increase the time you are given for the last task.

Squad Locations
There are two groups of Elite Jackal Snipers and one group of Brute Commandos all armed with Beam Rifles or Nailer Rifles. One Jackal Squad can be found on the Ivory Tower Building inside the Financial Sector while the other is by the Dry Docks seen in Task 1 - Medical Exam. The Brute Commandos are situated in the Memorial Park and have used their jump packs to reach various high points.

Defeating the Snipers

 * It is unwise to face the Snipers in a head on duel and while it may be difficult you can outflank both groups of Jackals. The first group can be ambushed on the roof by using the lift shaft to reach the top floor. The second group is best attacked from behind using a Warthog to jump the gap carved in the ground. The group of Brutes is best fought using a vehicle preferably a Ghost or Chopper although you can exploit the weakness in their jump packs to tag them with grenades.

Reward

 * By completing this task you get an additional five minutes to complete the last task of the game
