move to a new location without that movement being seen, to make their location unknown again,.hide now that they're somewhere that allows a Stealth check,.either have attacked while in cover, or move to break line of sight or into cover,.attack while unseen (usually in cover 1), revealing their location,.The usual way to do this with ranged attacks is to So to make this work at range, they need to arrange fictional circumstances somehow to defeat that. If you are hidden-both unseen and unheard-when you make an attack, you give away your location when the attack hits or misses. It's that last part that makes this difficult - by an explicit rule, attacking reveals a character's location (PHB, p. To do that at range you're working with the same rules - they need to be unseen, they need to stay unseen until after they make the attack, and the target needs to fail to locate them after being attacked. It can work as long as they avoid being spotted, but not being spotted is the hard part: since the attacker's location is automatically given away and after that it's easy to see them, special precautions are required to prevent being seen despite the target knowing exactly where they are. When they duck behind a corner in combat, the enemy is aware of danger and watching all around, and is impossible to sneak up on (without unusual circumstances), because that enemy is the opposite of surprised - they are actively on guard.
Popping out of hiding isn't sneaky, unless the enemy is surprised - and they can't surprise an enemy that is “aware of danger”. Sneak attack only works if they sneak up on an enemy who doesn't know they're there. In combat, most creatures stay alert for signs of danger all around, so if you come out of hiding and approach a creature, it usually sees you. Unfortunately for the rogue, as soon as they pop out in front of an attacker that's already aware of their presence, they are immediately seen and no longer count as unseen when they attack (PHB, p. When a creature can't see you, you have advantage on attack rolls against it. To sneak attack, they need advantage, and to get that from being unseen they have to still be unseen when they attack (PHB, p. No, they can't just pop back out and sneak attack.
All they need to do to be allowed to hide is break line of sight. Yes, they can duck behind the corner and hide.
