The '''Hitman's Heatmaker''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#sniperprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Sniper]]. It is a compact {{botignore|sniper rifle}} with a sleek scope, wooden furniture, and an integral suppressor. A laser sight with a small metal switch on its rear can be seen just below the scope.

Equipping this weapon displays a "Focus" meter in the [[Heads-up display|HUD]]. The meter begins empty, but kills or kill assists fill the meter, with 3 kills, 9 assists, or a combination thereof being required to fill it completely. Kills or assists made with secondary or melee weapons still contribute to the meter. Pressing the reload key {{DK|R}} activates Focus mode for up to 10 seconds, based on the amount the Focus meter is filled, signified by the Sniper's weapons crackling as if crit-boosted but without the glow. While Focused, the Hitman's Heatmaker does not need to unscope between shots, charges 25% faster, continues charging while reloading (effectively having each shot start at 25% charge), and fires tracer rounds. Kills or assists made while Focused continue to add to the meter as it drains, making it possible to extend Focus mode indefinitely. Unlike the majority of mechanics that feature a chargeable meter, Focus can be activated at any time, provided the meter is not completely empty.
 +
 
 +
As a downside, the weapon deals 20% less damage on bodyshots. Cosmetically, successful headshot kills decapitate the victim. The Hitman's Heatmaker has a noticeably quieter firing sound than other {{botignore|sniper rifles}}, making it harder for enemy players to locate the user via sound.

— The Sniper on gruesome decapitation
 ”

The Hitman's Heatmaker is a community-created primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a compact sniper rifle with a sleek scope, wooden furniture, and an integral suppressor. A laser sight with a small metal switch on its rear can be seen just below the scope.

Equipping this weapon displays a "Focus" meter in the HUD. The meter begins empty, but kills or kill assists fill the meter, with 3 kills, 9 assists, or a combination thereof being required to fill it completely. Kills or assists made with secondary or melee weapons still contribute to the meter. Pressing the reload key (default key: R) activates Focus mode for up to 10 seconds, based on the amount the Focus meter is filled, signified by the Sniper's weapons crackling as if crit-boosted but without the glow. While Focused, the Hitman's Heatmaker does not need to unscope between shots, charges 25% faster, continues charging while reloading (effectively having each shot start at 25% charge), and fires tracer rounds. Kills or assists made while Focused continue to add to the meter as it drains, making it possible to extend Focus mode indefinitely. Unlike the majority of mechanics that feature a chargeable meter, Focus can be activated at any time, provided the meter is not completely empty.

As a downside, the weapon deals 20% less damage on bodyshots. Cosmetically, successful headshot kills decapitate the victim. The Hitman's Heatmaker has a noticeably quieter firing sound than other sniper rifles, making it harder for enemy players to locate the user via sound.

The Hitman's Heatmaker was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
