Octosniper

Octosnipers are a common subspecies of Octarian fighters that shoot ink with long, thin weapons, Octosnipers have a laser showing where they are aiming.​​

Behavior
Octosnipers use a charger-like tube that has a very long range and is a one hit K.O. on impact most of the time, similarly to the Splatterscope. Their weapon properties is likely based off of a Sniper Rifle.

Strategy
A good way of acting unnoticed is to constantly stay in squid mode and only quit it to use your secondary weapons. If you only press the button shortly, the enemies will not notice you for long enough to decide to shoot at where they saw you. Therefore, you can claim platforms with your bombs and even distract the Octosnipers with them without risking your "safe zone". The Seeker is a good weapon to use here, especially to make a path for you to swim in using squid form.
