a dev told me "the sniper is just another user" and it freaked me out, because its true

You can work out the CA ahead of time. Note the block number here. 

This is how 1 bot is getting in the same block as the contract deployment. It spams tx's with the possible salts. 

Having a completely random salt might help here. Maybe looking at a chainlink RNG call to get it.
