| The Sharpshooter is a savvy customer that can knock a skeeter off yer ear from halfway across town. She may not deal a lot of damage with her sniper rifle, but she's got a heck of a range and her ability to knock items out of her targets' hands is essential in any scenario that involves carryin'. Set her up with Eagle Eye and watch yer opponents run in fear. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Sharpshooter is an unlockable unit. In addition to possessing the ability to attack over a range of several spaces, she also has the ability to automatically knock a held item—a gold nugget, talisman, or totem piece—out of her target's hands, if it is carrying one. She cannot attack adjacent foes, however. The Sharpshooter is enabled for use when a player obtains the Hot Streak badge by winning five ranked games in a row, or buys the Sniper Rifle item in the Frontier Town general store.
The Sharpshooter's damage is always multiplied by 1.5 from what it normally would be.
[edit] Strategy
Still considered the most useful unit for Gold Rush, Claim Jumping and Wendigo Attack. Anyone without a sharpshooter is at a staggering disadvantage. She can use her long range to avoid the gunslinger's retaliation, shoot across railroad tracks and pick up items while still having a large area for target selection.
