SNIPER RIFLE TRAINING

Every character can use any weapon but without proper training, your weapon will suffer -70% to attack and damage. Learning first rank of any weapon category removes the penalty.

Sniper rifles are one of the primary weapons in the Mass Effect universe. Used for long-distance combat situations, sniper rifles are generally equipped with targeting scopes, sport longer barrels, and pack a higher damage per round than most other weapons but at the expense of reduced firing rates and overheat allowances.
