Skeleton Sniper

The Skeleton Sniper is a very rare hardmode dungeon monster who will shoot at players from a long distance dealing massive amounts of damage. The skeleton sniper walks quite slowly as he approaches the player. When the sniper has a clear line of sight to the player (even if off-screen) he will crouch and take an aiming position, and after a brief pause, fire upon the player, dealing a great sum of damage. It's advised to engage the skeleton sniper with a constant barrage of attacks, as his aiming is reset with every hit taken. A bug may be that skeleton snipers are supposed to spawn more frequently the more "rusty company standard" flags there are, but it been confirmed to still be rare with a large number of them.

The Skeleton Sniper will only appear in dungeons with the "rusty" flag, accompanying rusty armor skeletons. They will only spawn in areas which originally contained the flag; removing or adding more "rusty" flags will not decrease or increase the spawn rate or locations.

They are immune to the Poisoned and Venom debuffs.
