Particle dilators are located at their fore-leg joints. They are designed to specifically track and kill from extreme distances. They are sent deep into enemy fronts, quickly seizing high vantage points. They are the most lethal element of the crawler class.<ref name="H4EVG"/> | ||

Crawler Snipes are typically used for long-range combat, scouting and reconnaissance missions. Crawler Snipes will often camp out in high places on the battlefield to make better use of their integrated Binary Rifle's range and firepower to pick off enemies from a great distance.<ref name="H4 Interactive Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''']</ref> While they engage in at longer distances, they may use their weapons at closer ranges with unexpected accuracy. | Crawler Snipes are typically used for long-range combat, scouting and reconnaissance missions.

Sidearms with mounted scopes like the [[M6H magnum]] are also effective at killing them, provided that the player aims at the head. Much like Kig-Yar Snipers, Crawler Snipes die from a single headshot with any precision weapon.
