Sharpshooter is the automatic weapon payoff of the Reflexes tree. The first two levels sharpen aiming and weapon control, and the third turns every shot that lands into a stack that feeds stamina regeneration and cuts the cost of firing. Most of the upper automatic branch is bought through it. Rifle and submachine gun builds aim for it.
Effect
Faster aiming and better control are ordinary improvements, and they matter most on weapons fired in bursts from the shoulder.
The third level is the mechanic the branch is built on. Each shot that hits adds a stack, each stack raises stamina regeneration and lowers the stamina cost of shooting, and the stacks climb to a ceiling while the shooting continues. A new stack resets the timer, so sustained accurate fire keeps the whole set alive, and a pause drops all of it at once.
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | +15% aim speed. |
| 2 | Improved weapon control. |
| 3 | Each successful shot grants a stack of Sharpshooter, +7% bonus to Stamina regen and Stamina cost for 2 sec. per stack. Stacks 7 times. New stacks reset duration. All stacks are removed when the duration ends. |
How to Unlock Sharpshooter
It sits behind the Phenom gate of the Reflexes tree. Ready, Rested, Reloaded is bought first, and all three levels are needed before the stacks appear.

Character Builds
The build is the automatic weapon Reflexes build at full strength. An assault rifle or a submachine gun is the weapon, and accuracy rather than volume is what the branch rewards.
Buy all three levels at the Phenom gate, then Practice Makes Perfect for the damage and Shoot To Chill for the armour penetration. Gundancer and Spray And Pray make the firing itself cheaper and faster, and the two Legend perks above pick a single weapon class each.
Notes
Practice Makes Perfect reads the stacks as critical hit chance and critical damage, Shoot To Chill reads them as armour penetration, and Spray And Pray and Submachine Fun reward specific ways of firing.
The stacks reward accuracy rather than volume, so Mind Over Matter and Tunnel Vision lower in the branch make them easier to hold.
