How to unlock the Counter-Sniper achievement in The Surge 2 - Definitive Guide

These are non-respawning enemies, usually on rooftops, sniping you from above.

There are 5 of them. 3 in Jericho Downtown, 2 are guarding the entrance to the Cathedral of the Spark.

You need to kill the operators (not the turrets)

You can kill them with your drone (but targeting them is not easy) or melee. For melee, you need to find a way up there. You will probably get to all of them through natural progression and side exploration, but one is a little tricky - the one on the left of the entrance to the Cathedral (see below)

LOCATIONS:

Sniper 1: Downtown Jeriho City, the rooftops, just outside the Seaside Court, leave via the upper floor exit and cross a small 'bridge' (you can only do that after killing Little Johnny and Brother Eli in Port Nixon and talking to the guys downstairs in Seaside Court.

Sniper 2: Downtown Jeriho City, on a ledge of a building near the entrance to Babylon Gardens and the Cloud 9 Bar.

Sniper 3: Downtown Jericho City, in the dark ruins of a building (just off Gideon Plaza, through the gate, on the way to Gateway Bravo)

Sniper 4: Cathedral of the Spark, right of the entrance, ride the exo line up and you'll be able to kill him.

Sniper 5: Cathedral of the Spark, left of the entrance. Progress through the location, draining the coolant as you go. How to get to the sniper: jump to a ledge with a jammed door right below the room with the Med Bay. Explore the new area and you will soon get to him.

This achievement is missable. After killing Major General Ezra Shields, world changes and some snipers in Jericho are no longer accessible.

Sniper 5 can be killed by your drone from where you kill sniper 4.

#5 disappeared after I opened the front gate to the cathedral, and I wasn't able to unlock the achievement on my first playthrough. So I guess make sure to get him before doing that.

I was able to come back and kill sniper 5 much later in the game, after completing the cathedral and the next boss. Of course, it's more ideal to just kill it the first time around, but the last commenter may have also experienced a bug.

And in a case somebody is wondering, I can confirm this must be done in a single playthrough. I missed one sniper in NG, which I killed in a NG+ (but missed the first snipers). No trophy.

Snipers have turrets set up that can hit you from a very long range. These are one of the few enemy types that don't respawn. There are five total to kill for the achievement, three in Part 1 and two in Part 2. Their locations are as follows:
 
  • Across from Seaside Court (use exit from inside Seaside next to Mr. Scrappy and cross the pipe).
  • To the left of the entrance to Babylon Gardens (use the maglift in the elevator shaft).
  • In the underground section when moving from the A.I.D. Road Fortifications toward Camp Bravo.
  • Above the entrance to the Cathedral of the Spark, right side (basically can't miss this one).
  • Above the entrance to the Cathedral of the Spark, left side (must go through the inside of the building for a while before you emerge back out).

The trophy is skippable; if you do not kill the first two snipers before the fight with Ezra Shields, the location will change and there will be no more snipers. You need to kill all the snipers in one playthrough; on NG+ you will have to run to the Cathedral of the Spark.

The left sniper in the Cathedral of Sparks can be shot with a drone.

The trophy was bugged, I had to kill all the snipers from the drone, that’s the only way the trophy fell.

Three snipers before Boss Ezra Shields, two after him in the Cathedral of the Spark.
