Sniper Arena maps change where you can line up a shot and how safely you can move. Open ground rewards a steady aim at a distance, while narrow routes make it easier to anticipate where an opponent will appear.
How to use this collection
Engagement range describes the kind of sightline a layout favors. It is a map characteristic, not a weapon's damage range.

Choosing a position
Think about what your position lets you see, then check how much of you it exposes. On open ground, a clear shot can work both ways. Height changes on Desert give you different angles to try.
In narrow lanes, keep your aim near the opening an opponent is likely to use. If a position stops giving you a useful angle, move to another one rather than waiting for the perfect target. Stronghold's varied angles make movement especially useful.
Cover on Western Park gives you a way to break up a crossing. Plan your next position before leaving cover so you spend less time standing in the open.
