The British SAS are snipers that serve many roles in the Chimera task force. Unlike US Army snipers, SAS units are not stealthed and have considerably shorter range.
The British SAS are snipers that serve many roles in the Chimera task force.  


SAS snipers, however, are powerful enough to act as the anti-vehicle and anti-helicopter units of Chimera in addition to being powerful anti-infantry units. The DU Rounds upgrade is relatively cheap and can improve SAS units significantly in their anti-vehicle capacity. In groups of four or more, they can eliminate light vehicles and can considerably damage heavier units.
Known for their versatility, the SAS easily matches the US Army Sniper and Cartel Jackal in effectiveness, ignoring cover bonuses and eliminating infantry. While they lack range/stealth and cannot target fixed-wing aircraft, they can deal heavy damage to ground vehicles (especially with DU Rounds) and helicopters. In large groups, they can easily deny many vehicular assaults. Their slow fire rate and high cost however leaves much to be desired.
 
As snipers, they ignore the cover bonuses infantry gain when fortified in a structure, and can eliminate them quickly. To eliminate SAS units quickly, either attack them from out of range or try to swarm them with multiple fast-moving anti-infantry vehicles to capitalize on their slow rate of fire.
