Unlike the default [[Sniper Rifle]], the weapon cannot be fired without first zooming in. Once zoomed, fully-charged shots deal an extra 15% damage and can pierce through multiple enemy players. The weapon fires tracer rounds, making the shooter easier to locate.

The '''Machina''' ({{pronounce|ˈmɑːkiːnə}} or {{pronounce|ˈmækɨnə}}; {{respell|MAH|kee-nə}}<ref>''Random House Dictionary''</ref>) is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Weapons#sniperprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Sniper]]. It is based on the [[wikia:w:c:deusex:Longsword 202 ERASER|Longsword 202 ERASER]] from the video game ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution]]''; a futuristic {{botignore|sniper rifle}} with a fluted barrel and a soft grip.

Compared to the [[Sniper Rifle]], a fully charged shot fired by the Machina deals 15% more damage and can pierce through multiple enemies. [[Buildings]] cannot be penetrated; they can be damaged by shots that have penetrated players, but the shot does not penetrate any further. However, the Machina cannot be hip-fired at all; attempting to fire the weapon without scoping in causes the rifle's muzzle to spark, accompanied by a "click" sound effect, at no cost to the player's ammo. In addition, the Machina is loaded with tracer rounds, which leave a faint team-colored trail for a few seconds when fired, potentially revealing the Sniper's position to the enemy team.

— The Sniper on piercing rounds
 ”

The Machina (/ˈmɑːkiːnə/ or /ˈmækɨnə/; mah-kee-nə[1]) is a community-created promotional primary weapon for the Sniper. It is based on the Longsword 202 ERASER from the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution; a futuristic sniper rifle with a fluted barrel and a soft grip.

Compared to the Sniper Rifle, a fully charged shot fired by the Machina deals 15% more damage and can pierce through multiple enemies. Buildings cannot be penetrated; they can be damaged by shots that have penetrated players, but the shot does not penetrate any further. However, the Machina cannot be hip-fired at all; attempting to fire the weapon without scoping in causes the rifle's muzzle to spark, accompanied by a "click" sound effect, at no cost to the player's ammo. In addition, the Machina is loaded with tracer rounds, which leave a faint team-colored trail for a few seconds when fired, potentially revealing the Sniper's position to the enemy team.

A successful penetration kill, where a fully charged shot penetrates an enemy to kill another enemy behind them (regardless of whether the enemy in front dies), triggers a unique fanfare sound effect audible to every player on the server, similar to the sound effect made by obtaining an achievement.

The Machina was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Steam before August 26, 2011.
