In other words, you want to make a sniper character but have no idea what to actually do with it?

Polearms and spears of any sort match well with sniper rifles owing to the natural length of the gun; however they are not your only options.

My two main sniper types use vastly different melee weapons; one has a rifle that transforms into a sword and shield, the other's rifle has a detachable stock that unfolds into a plasma halberd.

Weapon choice depends heavily on who the character is as a person, not just their physical traits and skills.

If you're struggling to decide what to give them for a weapon (and/or semblance) I suggest writing a partial outline of the character to help you narrow it down.
