I'm Lvl 21 and currently, my sniper is a golem with a Kang-Dae, Molot t, and Gekko XX. When I get into higher tiers, are there any better sniper bots?

Snipers are a piece of junk and make teams lose.
There are 'better' sniper bots like the fury, but you may want to snipe with tridents.

There is a difference between sniping and midrange (trident).
Sniping doesn't cap beacons or win battles - there is a place with a good team but randoms in silver is not a good team.

GOOD snipers can carry their own weight, sadly there's only a select few. To generalise them ALL as junk is a tad harsh. My list of snipers that I don't mind on my team: Treb Gekko Nat Gekko Pat Treb Tulu Gekko Golem Treb Fury Treb Gekko Vit ?? Pin Nat ?? Rocket Golem ?? Fury |

The best sniper is Natasha or Fury. Natasha can put out 150k DPM if you know what you are doing.
I would annex anything with a medium hardpoint until Pixonic gives us a proper medium long range weapon.
If the gekko buff goes through, a patton could deal almost as much DPM as Natasha (135k)
Another thing to consider, is the size of your chassis. Natasha is a strong sniper because it can shoot over many obstacles you would normally have to work around.

Close range is extremely useful in capping beacons and defending them. Midrange is also very useful in that they're able to do enough damage to damage (or kill) enemy bots, as well as support their knifers.
Snipers are only useful if the pilot knows what to do, and isn't just a camper waiting for an enemy to drop to low hp, then steal the kill from other players who risked their own bots to destroy the red bots. In other words, snipers are useful if they're from your clan and using voice comms (to tell them "hey can you shoot [pilot name]"). Now there's the most hated group of pilots: the arty campers. Those who just chill at spawn, lobbing flaming marshmallows at the reds, not really helping, other than being a waste of an ally slot in the game.
