Normally don't use this class because it only has disadvantages (e.g. not many shots, no teamplay, etc.)!

The Designated Marksman is equipped with a semi-automatic rifle capable of putting out accurate fire at ranges that the normal Rifleman would struggle to hit - up to 700m and beyond. The Marksman is meant to stick with and to support his squad, extending its effective range by engaging long-range threats like MG positions and enemy marksmen. The Marksman is equipped with a high-power scope and binoculars, and often serves as the eyes and ears of the squad - when the squad leader is busy, the Marksman can serve as his early warning system, scanning for threats and relaying enemy positions and movement. The Marksman is not a true sniper and is not equipped to operate on his own - his scope lacks the magnification to reliably hit extreme distances (900m+) and the caliber of his rifle lacks the power to drop targets with one shot.
