You can purchase heavy snipers, or special snipers that vary in range and lethality, as well as the ammo they carry. You have binoculars to tag targets and gain information about the environment like a broken wall or an unstable surface.

CI Games seemingly took that to heart because Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts is an improvement in every aspect. The Sniper Ghost Warrior series has been decently received, with Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 being incredibly ambitious that fell short of expectations.
