[[File:Icon Marksman kit.png|thumb|Marksman kit icon]] {{Quote|Capable of precision medium to long range direct fire support, this role's weapon comes equipped with a powerful optic.|In-game description}} The '''Marksman''' is one of the Fire Support [[roles]] available for players to use in ''[[Squad]]''. The Marksman is usually armed with semi-automatic marksman rifles. The [[British Armed Forces]] have an extra type of Marksman kit, while [[Canadian Army]] and [[Russian Airborne Forces]] have no marksman kit. ==Description== The primary objective of the marksman is to provide long-range direct fire support for the squad. The secondary objective of the marksman is to conduct scouting operations in tactical vantage points against the enemy. It generally receives a strong optic, powerful caliber and bipod to assist with this. This role is strongly recommended to be used in large, open maps with little cover or urban maps with tall buildings. It is strongly discouraged to use the marksman in close quarters combat. Marksman generally use the same caliber and thus have similar ballistics and damage to their faction's [[Machine Gunner]] role. == Loadout == # DMR or Assault Rifle # Pistol, Knife # 0-1 Frag Grenades # 2 Smoke Grenades # 2 Field Dressings # Field Binoculars, Entrenching Tool Unconventional factions and the [[British Armed Forces]] Squad kit receive one frag grenade. Conventional factions receive a bipod on their primary. ==Gameplay== * Surprise attacks are a must when using this role; use the opportunity to your advantage at all times. *Using cover while on the move is also very important. Without it, you will be spotted and eliminated. *Shoot and scoot tactics should be taken into consideration. Staying in one spot during an engagement for too long will eventually lead to your death. *Always make sure you have a safe spot to retreat to in case your engagement backfires. *Marksman rifles usually have smaller magazine sizes than regular rifles. Be sure to keep a close eye on your ammunition; you do not want to engage the enemy with an empty magazine. * Always stay close to your squad; fighting alone will guarantee no victory against a force larger than you. *Make sure you always have the high ground; this will secure a better chance to victory in any engagement. *Keeping clear communication between you and your squad leader is very important and will prove very helpful. *Do not bite more than you can chew; think twice before you make a move. *You are the eyes and ears of your squad (and possibly others), your awareness as a marksman is crucial to the survival of your teammates. *[[British Armed Forces]] have two marksman roles, with the first variant using [[L86A2 LSW]] automatic rifle and the second variant using [[L129A1 Sharpshooter Rifle]]. ** First variant is the only Direct Combat marksman kit in-game, making it less restrictive compared to other marksman kits. *[[Canadian Army]] and [[Russian Airborne Forces]]βs marksman roles are replaced by the [[Sniper]] kit. The Sniper kit belongs to the Specialist role type, with more strict limitations on team-wide numbers. **[[Insurgents]] have an additional Sniper kit alongside the Marksman kit. Similar to the Canadian one, it also belongs to the Specialist role type. == Kit Variants == {| class="wikitable" !Faction !Primary weapon !Secondary Weapon !Explosives !Smoke grenades !Medical supplies !Addtl. equipment |- |[[File:Flag of Australia.png|link=Australian Army|23x15px]] [[Australian Defence Force|Australian Army]] | *[[HK417]], 8 mags | *[[Hi-Power Pistol|Self-Loading Pistol Mk3]], 2 mags *[[SOCP Knife]] |β | *[[M18]] Smoke White, 2 grenades | *[[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | *[[Entrenching tool|Entrenching Tool]] *[[Binoculars|Field Binoculars]] |- | rowspan="2" |[[File:GB flag.jpg|link=British_Army|23x15px]] [[British Armed Forces]] | * [[L86A2]] LSW + SUSAT, 7 mags | * [[SA80 Bayonet]] | * [[L109A1]] Fragmentation, 1 grenade | * [[L132A1]] White Smoke, 2 grenades | * [[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | * [[Entrenching tool|Entrenching Tool]] |- | * [[L129A1]] Sharpshooter Rifle, 8 mags | * [[L131A1]], 2 mags * [[SA80 Bayonet]] | β | * [[L132A1]] White Smoke, 2 grenades | * [[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | * [[Entrenching tool|Entrenching Tool]] * [[Binoculars|Field Binoculars]] |- |[[File:USArmy_Flag.PNG|link=US_Army|23x15px]] [[US Army|United States Army]] | * [[M110 SASS]], 8 mags | *[[M17 MHS]], 2 mags * [[M9 Bayonet]] |β | * [[M18]] Smoke White, 2 grenades | * [[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | * [[Entrenching tool|Entrenching Tool]] * [[Binoculars|Field Binoculars]] |- | [[File:USMCFlag.png|link=United States Marine Corps|23x15px]] [[United States Marine Corps]] | *[[HK416|M38 DMR]], 8 mags | *[[M9A1]], 2 mags *[[OKC-3S]] |β | *[[M18]] Smoke White, 2 grenades | *[[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | * [[Entrenching tool|Entrenching Tool]] * [[Binoculars|Field Binoculars]] |- | [[File:Flag of PLA.png|link=PLA|23x15px]] [[Peopleβs Liberation Army]] | * [[QBU88]], 9 mags | * [[QSZ92]], 2 mags * [[QNL95 Bayonet]] |β | * [[DSF161]] Smoke White, 2 grenades | * [[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | * [[Entrenching tool|WJQ308]] * [[Binoculars|Type 95 Binoculars]] |- | [[File:PLANMC_Flag.png|link=PLANMC|23x15px]] [[Peopleβs Liberation Army Navy Marine Corps]] | * [[QBU88]], 9 mags | * [[QSZ92]], 2 mags * [[QNL95 Bayonet]] |β | * [[DSF161]] Smoke White, 2 grenades | * [[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | * [[Entrenching tool|WJQ308]] * [[Binoculars|Type 95 Binoculars]] |- | [[File:RGF_Flag.PNG|link=Russian_Ground_Forces|23x15px]] [[Russian Ground Forces]] | *[[SVDM]], 9 mags | * [[MP-443 Grach|MP443 Grach]], 2 mags * [[AK-74 Bayonet|AK74 Bayonet]] | β | * [[RDG-2|RDG2]] White Smoke, 2 grenades | * [[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | * [[MPL50 Shovel|MPL50 Spade]] * [[Binoculars|Russian Field Binoculars]] |- | [[File:MEA Flag.png|link=Middle Eastern Alliance|23x15px]] [[Middle Eastern Alliance]] | * [[G3SG/1]], 7 mags | * [[Hi-Power Pistol|Hi-Power]], 2 mags * [[G3 Bayonet]] |β | * [[M18]] White Smoke, 2 grenades | * [[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | * [[Entrenching tool|MPL50 Spade]] * [[Binoculars|Soviet Field Binoculars]] |- |[[File:Flag of Turkey.png|23x23px]] [[Turkish Land Forces]] | *[[KNT-67]] + KESKIN, 7 mags | * [[SOR-9]], 2 mags *[[G3 Bayonet]] |β | * [[M18]] Smoke White, 2 grenade | * [[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | *[[Entrenching tool|Entrenching Tool]] *[[Binoculars|Field Binoculars]] |- | [[File:Insurgents Flag.PNG|link=Insurgents|23x15px]] [[Insurgents]] | * [[SVD Sniper|SVD]], 9 mags | * [[TT-33 Tokarev|TT33 Tokarev]], 2 mags * [[AKM Bayonet]] | * [[F1 Grenade|F1]] Fragmentation, 1 grenade | * [[RDG-2|RDG2]] White Smoke, 2 grenades | * [[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | * [[MPL50 Shovel|MPL50 Spade]] * [[Binoculars|Soviet Field Binoculars]] * [[Infantry Camo Netting]] |- | [[File:IM Flag.PNG|link=Irregular_Militia|23x15px]] [[Irregular Militia]] | * [[SVD Sniper|SVD]], 9 mags | * [[TT-33 Tokarev|TT33 Tokarev]], 2 mags * [[AKM Bayonet]] | * [[RGD-5|RGD5]] Fragmentation, 1 grenade | * [[RDG-2|RDG2]] White Smoke, 2 grenades | * [[Field Dressing]], 2 packages | * [[MPL50 Shovel|MPL50 Spade]] * [[Binoculars|Soviet Field Binoculars]] * [[Infantry Camo Netting]] |} ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Russian Sniper.jpg|Early model of the [[Russian Ground Forces]] marksman File:US Army Marksman.png|[[US Army]] marksman with the [[M110 SASS]] </gallery> ==See also == * [[Binoculars]] * [[Rifleman]] * [[Kit Role Selection]] {{Navbox kits}} [[Category:Kits]]
