The Sydney Sleeper is an unlockable primary weapon for the Sniper class. It appears to be a Tranquilizer rifle outfitted with a long scope and decorated with feathers. The Sniper will also carry darts in his breast pocket when it is equipped.

This weapon is almost identical to the Sniper Rifle; players can fire either plainly or through using the scope, it deals identical damage to the default weapon, and shots can be charged up whilst utilizing the scope. Upon reaching over 50% charge whilst scoped, a flashing Jarate icon will appear next to the charge meter, and the shot will inflict Jarate on the target for 8 seconds. In return, this weapon lacks the ability to deal Headshots. Kills made with a pseudo-headshot will register with the associated kill icon, but will not count as a Critical hit.

Previous Changes

October 6, 2010 Patch

  • The Sydney Sleeper no longer penetrates targets.
  • The Sydney Sleeper no longer randomly Crits.

Bugs

  • Once the Sydney Sleeper charge meter is filled by 50%, ÜberCharged enemies may be hit with the Jarate effect, even though they won't take damage.
  • The darts in the breast pocket do not completely cover the bullets they replace.
  • The Sydney Sleeper lacks a BLU skin; The darts on the weapon are always RED.

Trivia

  • The Sydney Sleeper's loadout stats list "No random critical hits" as one of its downsides. This is somewhat redundant, as the weapon it replaces, the Sniper Rifle, is also unable to get random Critical hits.
  • When Critical hits are forced; such as after an Intelligence capture, Humiliation round, or server mods, this weapon can achieve scoped headshots.
  • Originally, the Sydney Sleeper was planned as a secondary weapon. [1]
