Sniper 3D: find the target, take the shot

Sniper 3D, also called Sniper 3D Assassin, is a free mobile shooting game from Fun Games For Free, now sold on the App Store by Wildlife Studios. It came out in November 2014. You take contracts, look through the scope, find the right target in a busy scene and take the shot.

How a mission works

Each mission drops you on a vantage point over a city block, a building or a base. You get a target and sometimes a condition, like a time limit or a specific shot. Then it is you and the scope.

The challenge is finding the right person and hitting them before they move. A miss can cost you the mission. Good missions pay coins that go into new rifles and upgrades.

There are free missions you can play offline, and an online mode where you face other players.

It suits a phone well. A mission is short, you only need to find one person and make one shot count, and the scope view makes a small screen feel focused instead of cramped.

Tips for cleaner shots

Scan before you zoom. Find the target at low zoom, then zoom in. Searching at full zoom wastes time.
Wait for a still moment. A target who stops walking is an easy shot.
Upgrade the basics. Stability and zoom upgrades help more than a brand new gun early on.
Replay for bonuses. Missions with extra conditions pay more once you know the scene.

Roam sniper games

These are separate Roam games, not Sniper 3D. Both are about one careful shot, and both care more about finding the right person than about firing a lot.

Block Sniper. A rooftop sniper assassin game. Grey suit, cafe table, one shot.
Aim to Please. A whole town in your crosshairs, and only one of them is the target.
