The Remote Sniper is a high-powered sniper rifle that appears Grand Theft Auto V. It appears only once in the mission "Caida Libre". It cannot be used in other circumstances in free-roam without the use of modifications.
Description
The weapon is a modified Heavy Sniper placed on a gun mount. The weapon is only used during the mission "Caida Libre" where the player has to shoot down a Shamal with the sniper and then destroy a van with it. This weapon cannot be obtained in free-roam without modifications.
This weapon features a high-tech scope that can zoom a lot further than a standard Sniper Rifle or its heavy counterpart. It also shows wind direction. The Remote Sniper allows for accurate shots as it does not sway in the wind. However, it has a lower rate of fire than the Heavy Sniper (however pressing the fire button repeatedly will cause the Sniper to shoot as fast as the speed you press the button), and can only fire one bullet per round. The player cannot obtain the gun after the plane has been downed in "Caida Libre", because the doors close and the option to control the gun is no longer available.

Trivia
- The remote sniper is the second weapon in the Grand Theft Auto series to be exclusive to one particular mission, the first being the Camera in GTA Vice City.
- Unlike the events of "Caida Libre", players cannot take down a Shamal with 4 shots from the Heavy Sniper. However, this is how many shots are required to disable a Velum.
- The remote sniper is similar to the weapon that Bruce Willis uses in the movie The Jackal.[1]
- The round the Remote Sniper uses may be either an Armor Piercing .50 BMG round or a even more powerful round (i.e 20mm)
