What that means when you are planning
Sharpshooter is the Specialization that suits it, and the two are separate choices — the class does not come with the weapon, and the weapon does not require the class. Any Specialization can carry a Longarm.
The Longarm pairs with high ground, which improves hit chance, and with priority-target elimination. That is why it and the Sharpshooter are usually discussed together, but it is a build recommendation rather than a rule.
What we don't know yet
