Let's first describe what's what:

====

Short range (kinfe fighting): 0-350 meters

+

I would say that Thunder/Punisher is ineffecient at longer than 350 meters, except for Ancile takedown

====

Medium range (support): 400-800 meters

+

Although you CAN shoot at less than 400, but when you see those DB or Thunder Leo upclose you wish that you stayed back at 400+

====

Long range (sniping\artillery): 650-1100 meters

+

Main idea is to stay out of Trident\Zeus range, so that makes 650m minimum distance.

====

For what it's worth, from my personal experience, Long range can be used in Yamantau, and, very situational, on Springfield and Canyon.

However, single sniper can't kill your medium\hard bot (if you use cover right), and on Shenghen, Dead city, Poweplant, Moon snipers has no use (maybe 10 shots for the whole game) and for most part in Springfield and Canyon their shots are very hard to make.

So, if you skip maps and wait for suitable map to come - then you migh want to get a sniper. But if you aim for efficiency - then you are better with using those slot for beacon runner\brawler\trident Carnage.

I think that is the point of "snipers are useless" phrase.
