'''Jarate''', the "Jar-based Karate", is an unlockable [[Weapons#snipersecondary|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. In the Festive version, the jar is replaced with a corked glass bottle, labeled with a holiday-themed sticker upon which "Merry [[Smissmas]] Mate!" is written in cursive font, and the bottleneck wrapped with a team-colored bow.

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 splash radius will be covered in the contents of the jar for 10 seconds. During this period, all incoming [[damage]] is registered as [[Critical hits#mini-crits|mini-crits]], the player's view is tinted yellow, and they shed yellow droplets. The liquid can be removed by the player jumping into [[water]] or being [[Healing|healed]] for an extended period of time. This weapon 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. As a [[Projectiles|projectile]], it can be [[Compression blast|deflected]] by an enemy [[Pyro]] and can collide with a [[Sandman|baseball]] hit by an enemy [[Scout]].

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 {{tooltip|200 [[Hammer unit]]s|381 cm, or 12.5 feet}} splash radius are [[soaked]] in the contents of the jar for 10 seconds. During this period, all incoming [[damage]] is registered as [[Critical hits#mini-crits|mini-crits]]. The victim's view is tinted a watery yellow, and they shed yellow droplet particle effects. The effect duration can be reduced through continuous [[healing]], or can be removed instantly by jumping into [[water]] or touching a [[Respawn#Resupply|resupply cabinet]]. This weapon normally has a 20-second cooldown before it can be used again as indicated in the [[Heads-up display|HUD]], and a ding plays to alert the player it has regenerated.

Jarate has many other useful attributes. It can be used to short out the [[Disguise Kit]] and [[Cloak]]ing devices of the Spy, resulting in an automated [[Spy responses#Hit by Jarate or Mad Milk|voice response]]. The weapon excels against enemies taking damage over time from [[fire|afterburn]] or [[bleeding]]. Jarate-covered enemies even take mini-crits from [[Sentry Gun]] damage. Additionally, the weapon is not only limited to offensive purposes; it can also be used to extinguish burning teammates and the player.
+
The Jarate also has several other abilities that are not found in its in-game description. It can be used to reveal enemy [[Spy|Spies]] and short out their [[cloak]]ing devices, resulting in an automated [[Spy responses#Hit by Gas Passer, Jarate, Mad Milk, Mutated Milk, or Self-Aware Beauty Mark|voice response]]; a Spy who attempts to Cloak while under the effects of Jarate is visible as a [[team]]-colored silhouette that reveals his current [[disguise]], if any. Jarate-covered enemies take mini-crits from [[afterburn]], [[bleeding]], [[Sentry Gun]]s, 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 is lowered by 20%, to 16 seconds instead of the normal 20-second cooldown. As a [[Projectiles|projectile]], the Jarate can be [[Compression blast|deflected]] by an enemy [[Pyro]]. Like other hand-thrown [[projectile]]s, the Jarate cannot be thrown underwater.

When playing in [[Multiplayer options#Advanced multiplayer options|Colorblind mode]], a translucent Jarate icon is shown above any player who is currently sodden with the weapon.

“
Wreak havoc on your opponent's mental state, psychological well-being and trust in the inherent goodness of his fellow man!
— Jarate publicity blurb
 ”

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. In the Festive version, the jar is replaced with a corked glass bottle, labeled with a holiday-themed sticker upon which "Merry Smissmas Mate!" is written in cursive font, and the bottleneck wrapped with a team-colored bow.

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 are soaked 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 droplet particle effects. 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 plays 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 is 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 is 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 translucent 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.

Trivia

  • Jarate's first appearance in the Team Fortress 2 universe was in the Meet the Sniper video of June 7, 2008, appearing as a seemingly incidental background object, although attention is drawn to it and the purpose of that time-lapse scene is to show the camping, coffee-drinking Sniper filling urine jars.
  • The word "Piss" and its variants in tense are swear-filtered to "Jarate" on the Steam Users Forums.
  • Jarate is frequently implied to be a jar of urine, although it is only ever explicitly proclaimed to be in the April Fools sneak preview.
    • In the time-lapse scene of Meet the Sniper, at 0:56, the Sniper grimaces in lower abdominal discomfort, after which the next frames show Sniper placing the first of several jars filling with urine.
    • The Insult states that Sniper's kidneys grew triple their normal size from Saxton Hale's Jarate pills and shows Sniper with his Jarate jars in a bathroom.
    • The second Charles Atlas parody, Hey Sniper, states that the fluid comes from his body.
