I do not really play a lot of Mann vs Machine as Sniper but I decided to give it a try.

I am using the Urban Professional loadout with a strange ks Tribalmen's Shiv. What is my highest priority as a Sniper in mvm?

Note: I don't play a lot of MvM Sniper because I suck at Sniper... I mainly play Medic in MvM.

In MvM, your target order is really going to be the same regardless of class.

  1. Giant Scouts AKA those annoying bastards who run past everyone carrying the bomb.
  2. Medics / Giant Medics (although let the Demo try to explode giant Medics first).
  3. Engineers (on maps that have them).
  4. Enemy Snipers (OK, I lied, this one is sniper/spy/scout specific)
  5. Giant anything else.
  6. Enemies that have crits / bomb carriers
  7. Everything else except Sentry Busters.

As a Sniper, you may also be useful in dealing with Spies that show up in some games.

Sniper sucks at dealing with tanks, so you may want to concentrate on keeping other enemies in check while your teammates deal with tanks.

One of your more useful upgrades as Sniper is explosive headshots. It can kills groups of smaller enemies.

Keep in mind that money gained from headshot kills is red and doesn't need to be collected... it exists solely to heal your team's Scout.
