Garrisoned Snipers have a number of advantages over ungarrisoned Snipers. They fire more quickly, inflicting the same amount of damage, and are basically immune to infantry charges. However, a lone Sniper in a building is a sitting duck for an enemy Sniper -- they can be killed in one hit. Use this to your advantage if you see a Garrisoned enemy Sniper as well. It is bets to Garrison a Sniper with another unit, be it an Engineer squad or a Heavy Machine Gun team. The enemy Sniper trying to get yours will hit the other unit in the building and yours will be free to snipe his in one shot.

Good tip

Awesome, i never knew about the increased RoF.

Actually, I think a sniper firing on a building with more than one unit will randomly hit a unit, so a sniper garrisoned with an MG is still vulnerable, but is safer.

nice tip

I knew this, btw nice tip.

Wow good tip.

I like the suggestion about garrisoning other units to "sheild" the sniper. That is an awesome idea, which makes perfect sense, but honestly just didn't occur to me. Thanks for the great tip!

i often use this in my matches

interesting tip, useful in some situations (especially with an mg to cover it) but not immune to inf charges, if there is no mg to supress a squad of rifles can just run right up to the building and open fire, a garrisoned sniper is also a very very obvious sniper and a squad of rifles will kill it before it kills them.

This is just one more reason to send out MGs and snipers together. Each one covers the other when they find a garrison. It also prevents Stupid Trick #23:
