The Sniper on gruesome decapitation

The Hitman's Heatmaker is a primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a slightly stubby Sniper Rifle, fitted with a sleek scope, a wooden stock with a brown leather rest, and a suppressor attached to its barrel.

The Hitman's Heatmaker's Focus system is similar to the Bazaar Bargain's Headshot system, but the bonus is simply gained on kills or assists, rather than successful headshots. In addition, successful headshot kills will decapitate the target. However, scoped bodyshots deal 20% less damage, and fully-charged bodyshots will not be able to one-shot any class, dealing only 120 damage.

The weapon requires 3 kills (or 9 assists, or any combination of those) in order to fill the Focus bar entirely. It triggers automatically if it is filled with a killing shot. While focused, the weapon will charge 25% faster, fire tracer darts similar to the Machina, and will not unscope after firing. This does not increase your fire rate.

The Hitman's Heatmaker was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Feather Duster".
