They need a more general purpose than something that they can only take advantage of once in a great while.

The problem is that the time:gain ratio that snipers have is just too small for people to reasonably pick.

That's why I say to increase their recon and intelligence gathering capabilities. Sniping could be a side job while their main one would be getting info for their team. This would give them something that they can consistently do.
