Sharpshooter snipers

Geo pushes to an Advanced Bot Lab and fields Sharpshooter snipers from 8:17 with Smuggler and Welder support, but units mostly fight defensively on the team's own side rather than advancing.

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • SharpshooterT2 bot snipers from 8:17 · 3% of role by thenFrom the Advanced Bot Lab. Only 3% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 9:11
  • Advanced Bot LabAdvanced Bot Lab in 100%7% of all Geo games by then
  • SmugglerJammer bot in 81%2% of all Geo games by then
  • WelderWelder in 50%3% of all Geo games by then
  • SharpshooterSniper bot in 44%1% of all Geo games by then

Where those units first fight, in 16 games with kill data: in the middle 69%, on their own side 31%.

Those units destroy a typical 3,708 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Welder (16% of army), blitz (10% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Advanced Bot Lab by 7:19

  1. Open mex and wind, get Bot Lab and geothermal up fast.
  2. Rush Advanced Bot Lab well ahead of the usual T2 vehicle timing.
  3. Push Sharpshooter sniper bots to snipe at the middle.
  4. Add jammer bot support alongside the sniper push.
  5. Transition into Welder T2 bot riot for the standard follow-up.
