Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a cooperative first-person shooter by Fatshark, released in 2022 and set in the hive city of Tertium. Its Sniper is a long-range special enemy whose targeting sound became one of the game's most recognised warnings, shared in clips where players shout enemy spotted and dive for cover. The audio was later ripped to soundboards and reused outside the game as a generic sniper warning. Its lasting appeal is instant recognition for Darktide players and clear danger signalling for anyone else.

Sniper sound effect from Warhammer 40K Darktide, the sharp targeting cue heard before an enemy shot, used in gaming edits and meme danger moments.
This is the distinctive targeting cue for the Sniper enemy in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, a specialised Poxwalker marksman who locks onto players from long range. The clip captures the tense rising audio signal that warns the team a shot is about to fire, with a sharp electronic whine building over the battlefield noise. Hearing it instantly creates urgency, as players scramble for cover or try to spot the laser sight in time. In edits it works as pure tension, turning an ordinary moment into a sudden sniper threat.
