Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Sniper Class
The Sniper class specializes in long-ranged combat. You excel at dealing with high-priority targets whilst also being able to effectively position yourself due to your cloaking ability that turns you invisible until your next shot, which can even be used to revive fallen allies.

Snipers have low mobility in comparison to other classes, but they make up for it with the incredible damage and utility they bring to the team given their effectiveness at taking down high-health targets.
