U-Sniper is a Tier 5 ship in Starblast.io. It fires two pulses from the front that do large damage, with very high recoil and slight knockback on the victim. It is best used on a map with large asteroids with low density, and is lethal against most other enemy vessels, and can make quick escapes with its immense recoil. When out of energy, the U-Snipers fires with alternating shots, one at a time.

The U-Sniper is very poor good at combat, its only advantage being its high damage, and is always vulnerable, as well as being poor at mining. When using the U-Sniper to upgrade to Tier 6, it is recommended only to upgrade Energy Regeneration and perhaps Ship Speed, but the U-Sniper is an very poor ship on its own, and is considered by many to be the worst Tier 5 in the game. To play a combat U-Sniper build that can hit well and escape quickly, upgrade all stats except for Damage and Agility, and fire to move with recoil.

When used properly, this ship can decimate any other ship in the game in 1vs1. Its general weakness are multiple small, faster ships such as the Pulse-Fighter and the Shadow X-2.

Use in team mode is inadvisable due to parasitic teammates and gang tactics.
