Flavor Quote

MistahFixIt brought up on the Trophy Belt's discussion page that the Sydney Sleeper's got the same flavor quote as the Sydney Sleeper. Might I suggest [1] (Here's a touchin' story. Once upon a time you died, and I lived happily ever after. The end.) as "Sniper, on bedtime stories"? Or even [2] (I've slept in the corpse of water buffalo tougher than you!)

Just this one's opinion that either line would work better considering the nature of the weapon's name, as opposed to the current quote. DocdocGoose 15:36, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Damage + Function Times

Here's what I've learned:

Damage

  • Unscoped Shot: 46-50
  • Scoped (0% Charge): 45-50
  • Scoped (50% Charge): 70-80 (Jarate effect starts)
  • Scoped (100% Charge): 130-160

Crit Damage

  • Crits seems to use a standard 3x multiplier. Would it max out at 450 or higher since it spreads up to 160 damage? Mini-crit section just has the standard value currently. Mechlord 11:44, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Greenmarine, a valve developer has stated on the something awful forums that the sydney sleeper being able to crit is a bug.

Function Times

  • Identical to Sniper Rifle

Conclusion: The rifle must be at least halfway charged before it will inflict the Jarate effect.

Also, the Sleeper's shots have a penetrating effect; it can hit more than one opponent in a row. -- MistahFixIt 01:19, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Yup it can penetrate few players at once http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouD1O9BlIUA&feature=player_embedded lol--Markd 13:07, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

damage is not accurate, i've seen it do 170 damage (regular damage not mini crit)--Banished one 17:08, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Trivia about piercing

The guns piercing effect is able to pierce through more than four players, although, the first person in line usually lives.

I don't understand. Why would the first person hit survive? --CruelCow 15:08, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

this is incorrect the first person doesn't live.Rocketlawnchair 15:21, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Headshots

the item it's currently bugged and does headshot. Asmodei 17:35, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Need proof, because if this is true, that's STUPID --Firestorm 17:41, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
upon testing it seems it does headshot, but there's no bonus damage for it. headshot's from this weapon are purely cosmetical. --Asmodei 18:26, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Ok, good, thanks for that. --Firestorm 18:27, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Jarate Effect when Ubered?

I noticed something today in a mix: Whilst Uberred, an enemy Sniper hit a fully charged shot at me and I got the Jarate effect. When I lost my uber, an enemy Scout mini-critted me to death. I didn't die after the event, so I cannot confirm it. I'll do some investigation tomorrow, although it would be nice if somebody would be so kind as to beat me to this confirmation. :P --Leftism 00:31, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I've noticed after the polycount update that if you have Kritzkrieg, a Buff Banner, or They are Jarated if attacking an ubered player they will make the noise as if they were crit.--Ikimono1 22:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Sentries

A friend of mine says that the Sleeper will penetrate through sentry guns, but NOT through one that is shielded by the Wrangler. Test please! --Firestorm 23:19, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I dont think this is possible, i remember shooting down a SG with the engy behind it. i never hit him or his dispenser, ill keep my eye on thisRocketlawnchair 15:25, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Unused Darts

"However, unused darts can be found in game files, which may mean that the Sydney Sleeper fired projectiles in beta stages." Can someone be a dear and take some lovely pictures of said darts and put them on this page? Thanks. -- En Ex (talk) 14:28, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
