At 6th level, they gain the unique Trick Shots of Ghost Shot (ignores half cover and 3/4ths cover, +2 to attack if targeted is armored or has an AC boosting spell applied) and Snipe (ignore Disadvantage for shooting at long range). 11th level's Silenced Shots means you only give away your position by shooting whilst hidden if a creature can visually see your muzzle flash. Finally, Unseen Assassin at 17th level makes you Invisible to any creature more than 100 feet away from you whilst you're Hiding.
