Jarate, the "Jar-based Karate", is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Sniper. It is a standard glass mason jar filled above half-way with the Sniper's urine, capped with a screw-on lid.
The item is a thrown weapon; the jar breaks and the liquid is splashed over a short distance, either upon immediate contact with the world or another player. Enemies caught within the 200 Hammer units splash radius will be covered in the contents of the jar for 10 seconds. During this period, all incoming damage is registered as mini-crits. The victim's view is tinted a watery yellow, and they shed yellow droplets. The effect duration can be reduced through continuous healing, or can be removed instantly by jumping into water or touching a resupply cabinet. This weapon normally has a 20-second cooldown before it can be used again as indicated in the HUD, and a ding will play to alert the player it has regenerated.
The Jarate also has several other abilities that are not found in its in-game description. It can be used to reveal enemy Spies and short out their Cloaking devices, resulting in an automated voice response; a Spy who attempts to Cloak while under the effects of Jarate will be visible as a team-colored silhouette that reveals his current disguise, if any. Jarate-covered enemies take mini-crits from afterburn, bleeding, Sentry Guns, and other sources of damage that normally cannot crit. Additionally, the weapon is not limited to offensive use, as it can be used to extinguish afterburn on oneself and teammates; the user and teammates are immune to the negative effects of Jarate, whereas enemies cannot benefit from its positive effects. If a Sniper successfully extinguishes a teammate with the Jarate, its cooldown will be lowered by 20%, to 16 seconds instead of the normal 20-second cooldown. As a projectile, the Jarate can be deflected by an enemy Pyro. Like other hand-thrown projectiles, the Jarate cannot be thrown underwater.
When playing in Colorblind mode, a Jarate icon is shown above any player who is currently sodden with the weapon.
Jarate is automatically given to any player who obtains 11 Sniper achievements.
