Skeleton Sniper

The Skeleton Sniper is an uncommon post-Plantera Hardmode Dungeon enemy who shoots from long range, dealing massive amounts of damage. It approaches slowly and fires after a brief pause as soon as it has a clear line-of-sight to the player, even from off-screen.

The Skeleton Sniper will only appear in Dungeon sections with a Slab type background wall.

It is immune to the Poisoned and Venom debuffs.

Trivia

 * The Skeleton Sniper appears to be using a different gun than the Sniper Rifle it drops.
 * The Skeleton Sniper is most likely a direct influence to the Wehrmacht from WWII, due to his iconic Stahlhelm. The Wehrmacht were infamous for their excellent snipers and tanks.

Tips

 * The Sniper must pause again after being hit, so rapid-firing long-range weapons at it will prevent it from attacking.
 * A good way to tell if you're in the right place is if there are Rusty Armored Bones.
