'''The Sydney Sleeper''' is an unlockable primary weapon for the Sniper class, replacing the [[Sniper Rifle]].
+

−
It is almost identical to the Sniper Rifle in that it can be scoped, with the same damage output. However, upon going over 50% charge, the shot will cause a Jarate effect on the target for 8 seconds. This weapon lacks the ability to perform [[Headshot]]s. Headshots still register with the associated kill icon, but they do not count as a [[Critical hit]].
+
The '''Sydney Sleeper''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#sniperprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Sniper]]. It is a single-shot pneumatic dart gun with an air tank with spare team-colored darts (with corks) attached to the stock, a scope fitted to the top, and feathers tied to the barrel. When equipped, the bullets in the Sniper's breast pocket are [[Bodygroup|replaced]] with darts.
  
−
This gun also makes up for this with the chance to randomly fire a [[Critical Hit|Critical]], an ability not normal in the [[Sniper]]'s other primary weapons.
+
Like the [[Sniper Rifle]], the Sydney Sleeper can scope, and has a charge function when scoping. However, upon zooming in whilst scoped, a flashing [[Jarate]] icon appears next to the charge meter, indicating that the shot will [[Soaked|soak]] an enemy target with a Jarate effect, scaled from 2 to 5 seconds, depending on the charge level. The Sydney Sleeper is able to extinguish teammates that are on [[fire]]. The Sydney Sleeper has a 25% faster charge rate, meaning that it takes 2.7 seconds, reduced from the Sniper Rifle's 3.3 second charge time, to fully charge a shot whilst scoped.

==Item set==
 
−
This item is part of the ''Croc-o-Style Kit''. When the entire set is worn, the set provides this additional bonus:
 
−
*'''The wearer cannot be killed by headshots'''
 
−
The other set items are:
 
−
*[[Ol' Snaggletooth]]
 
−
*[[Darwin's Danger Shield]]
 
−
*[[Bushwacka]]
 
  
−
A general demonstration of all the items in this set can be viewed below.
+
The weapon's main drawback for precision Snipers is its inability to deal [[Critical hits]] with [[headshot]]s, therefore relying more heavily on assists to finish off key targets. However, this also means that the Sniper can be less accurate, and with the Jarate effect, targets can easily be dealt with by the user's teammates.

 ”

The Sydney Sleeper is a community-created primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a single-shot pneumatic dart gun with an air tank with spare team-colored darts (with corks) attached to the stock, a scope fitted to the top, and feathers tied to the barrel. When equipped, the bullets in the Sniper's breast pocket are replaced with darts.

Like the Sniper Rifle, the Sydney Sleeper can scope, and has a charge function when scoping. However, upon zooming in whilst scoped, a flashing Jarate icon appears next to the charge meter, indicating that the shot will soak an enemy target with a Jarate effect, scaled from 2 to 5 seconds, depending on the charge level. The Sydney Sleeper is able to extinguish teammates that are on fire. The Sydney Sleeper has a 25% faster charge rate, meaning that it takes 2.7 seconds, reduced from the Sniper Rifle's 3.3 second charge time, to fully charge a shot whilst scoped.

When the Sydney Sleeper makes a headshot while scoped in, the victim takes Mini-Crit damage, and the cooldown of Jarate, if equipped, is reduced by one second.

The weapon's main drawback for precision Snipers is its inability to deal Critical hits with headshots, therefore relying more heavily on assists to finish off key targets. However, this also means that the Sniper can be less accurate, and with the Jarate effect, targets can easily be dealt with by the user's teammates.

The kill icon for the Sydney Sleeper was contributed by MasterOfOrigami.
