Best perk deck for sniping?

[Nikoツ]

I like playing a sniper in some maps and i was wondering what the best perk deck for sniping is. BTW i know that sniping isnt the most efficient tatic. Thanks in advance

btw i dont have the tag team perk deck

Well there isn't any real perk deck that could work with snipers really well

If you just sit far from team or on vantage point i use kingpin cause when dozer come at you just pop that thing and to get so argo from cops to target you but if you have sociopath that good regen armor and panic control on cops plus 1 hit a dozer charge at you

There isn't really a "sniper" perk deck. Perk Decks don't mandate or encourage specific weapon choices all that much (with a few exceptions like Hitman or Grinder), so you can roll with just about anything.

Do bear in mind though that Sociopath, Infiltrator, and Gambler are all very close-range decks, so they're at the least probably unsuitable.

Everything with a firerate over 45 works with Grinder.

I use burglar, just because of the crouching and not being targetting if I remember correctly, but nothing jumps out as a sniper perk deck.

Rogue is a good choice too. 15% chance that cops will target your teammate over you.

75 Detection Rogue, Crook (Below DW), Armorer, Ex-pres...

Not sure, a lot of them seems to work perfectly fine for me. Even gambler works fine as I run Gambler Sniper on DW.

Works for it, sure, but Grinder heavily encourages DoT weapons or high RoF weapons. Anything WORKS, much like anything works with Hitman, but certain weapons have an inherent advantage.

Use one of the four main ones:
Crew Chief if you like converting dudes.
Muscle if you like lots of backup health and regen.
Enforcer if you have improved armour or what not.
Rogue if you wanna dodge instead.

Biker is useful since you get health + armor / kill, and you won't be shot at too much if you hang back

Crook is also an option, since you can wear a LBV and benefit from the Dodge as well, at the cost of health regen

Socio could actually be good. 30 armor for getting kills, 30 more if they're close. Combine with Bullseye. The panic procs and MELEE DAMAGE BONUS are great for giving you breathing room if they get close. You can do a few quick taps on a dozer and gib him into the next room.

Having fun running a sniper with suit Anarchist and an incendiary Grimm as secondary (just for insurance). Granted, I'm mostly dipping around fast and lining up Graze headshots on groups, but I'd imagine it could function just as well from cover.

This is a very valid point though I kind of want to try a loud Burglar build now.

I looked more closely at this deck versus rogue--you get less dodge but are targeted less if you are crouching and stationary when sniping.
