The '''Bazaar Bargain''' is a primary weapon for the [[Sniper]]. It is a long ornately carved rifle with a small circular sight attached to a long rod, secured with golden straps. It has a curved stock with a golden recoil pad and a laser sight attached under the barrel.
 
  
−
This weapon features a specific bonus attuned to [[headshot]]s. At the bottom-right of the screen, there is a head counter very similar to the [[Demoman]]'s [[Eyelander]]. Apon spawning, the headshot counter is set to 0. As such, the zoomed charge rate of the weapon is 20% less than that of the [[Sniper Rifle]]. Upon the player successfully scoring a headshot, the charge rate of the next shot taken will be 10% faster. Subsequent headshots will increase the charge rate by 10% increments, until the bonus caps out at 7 consecutive headshots, at which the weapon will have a 50% faster charge rate than the default Sniper Rifle. Should the player deliver a scoped body shot, however, the headshot counter will decrease by one and the charge rate will decrease by 10%. Missing a scoped shot completely will clear the headshot counter. Unscoped shots taken with the weapon will not affect the charge rate. Hitting an [[Engineer]]'s [[building]] while scoped in counts as a miss, as you technically did not shoot an enemy, thus wiping your charge bonus.
+
{{Quotation|'''Bazaar Bargain''' publicity blurb|Can you believe the Sniper found an old bolt action rifle, a long piece of metal, some bolts, one half of a binocular and a military grade laser sight, ALL for just under three dinars?}}
 +

The '''Bazaar Bargain''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#sniperprimary|primary weapon]] for the {{cl|Sniper}}. It is an ornately-carved rifle with a curved stock. A small lens is used as a makeshift scope, and a laser sight is attached underneath the barrel.
 +
 
 +
Compared to the default [[Sniper Rifle]], this weapon has a 50% slower charge rate. However, it also features a "Heads" counter; for each successful [[headshot]], 1 head is added to the counter, increasing the weapon's charge rate by 25%. This bonus caps out at 6 heads, at which point the weapon has a 100% faster charge rate than the default Sniper Rifle. Upon death, all heads are lost and the weapon's charge rate is subsequently reset to its base speed.
 +
 
 +
A player wielding the Bazaar Bargain ''cannot'' steal additional heads from enemies who have also collected heads.<ref>[https://youtu.be/DTSOLGUF8cM No heads stolen] video</ref> Only one head is added to the Bazaar Bargain's counter per headshot kill, regardless of the number of additional heads that the target had collected before dying. Despite this, the heads collected by a player wielding the Bazaar Bargain ''can'' still be stolen by a {{cl|Demoman}} wielding the {{item link|Eyelander}}, {{item link|Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker}} or {{item link|Nessie's Nine Iron}}, a {{item link|Soldier}} wielding the {{item link|Air Strike}}, or a {{cl|Medic}} wielding the {{item link|Vita-Saw}}.

“
Can you believe the Sniper found an old bolt action rifle, a long piece of metal, some bolts, one half of a binocular and a military grade laser sight, ALL for just under three dinars?
— Bazaar Bargain publicity blurb
 ”

The Bazaar Bargain is a community-created primary weapon for the Sniper. It is an ornately-carved rifle with a curved stock. A small lens is used as a makeshift scope, and a laser sight is attached underneath the barrel.

Compared to the default Sniper Rifle, this weapon has a 50% slower charge rate. However, it also features a "Heads" counter; for each successful headshot, 1 head is added to the counter, increasing the weapon's charge rate by 25%. This bonus caps out at 6 heads, at which point the weapon has a 100% faster charge rate than the default Sniper Rifle. Upon death, all heads are lost and the weapon's charge rate is subsequently reset to its base speed.

A player wielding the Bazaar Bargain cannot steal additional heads from enemies who have also collected heads.[1] Only one head is added to the Bazaar Bargain's counter per headshot kill, regardless of the number of additional heads that the target had collected before dying. Despite this, the heads collected by a player wielding the Bazaar Bargain can still be stolen by a Demoman wielding the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron, a Soldier wielding the Air Strike, or a Medic wielding the Vita-Saw.

This item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Sniper Rifle 1.

Trivia

  • The Bazaar Bargain is based on a jezail, a type of handcrafted musket that was commonly used in the Middle East. While the quality and manufacture of such weapons varied widely, common features of these weapons was their use of rifled barrels and a heavily curved stock, the former of which gave them a great advantage in range and accuracy over the smoothbore firearms that were commonly used up until the mid-19th century.
  • A bazaar is a marketplace/street where many different goods are sold, typically found in the Middle East.
