The Hitman's Heatmaker is a community-created primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a somewhat stubby sniper rifle, fitted with a sleek scope, a wooden stock with a brown leather rest, and a suppressor attached to its barrel. A laser sight with a small metal switch on its rear can be seen just below the scope.
The weapon features a "Focus" bar, which begins empty and can be completely filled with 3 kills, 9 assists, or a combination thereof; kills or assists made with other weapons still contribute to the bar. Once the bar is filled (with at least one assist), pressing the reload key (default R) will activate Focus mode for 1 to 10 seconds based on the amount of the meter filled. At full Focus, this is signified by the Sniper's weapons crackling as if crit-boosted but without the glow. While focused, the weapon charges 25% faster, does not need to unscope between shots (allowing it to continue charging while reloading), and fires tracer rounds similar to the Machina. Kills or assists made while focused continue to add to the bar as it drains, making it possible to extend indefinitely. Unlike the majority of mechanics that feature a chargable bar, focus can be activated at any time, without requiring the bar to be filled to completion.
As a downside, the weapon deals 20% less damage on bodyshots and unscoped shots, meaning it is not guaranteed to kill any default full-health class with a fully-charged bodyshot. Cosmetically, successful headshot kills will decapitate the victim. The noise produced when firing is greatly reduced, making it harder for your target to find you by ear, and reducing the chance that one of his teammates will hear and come to his aid.
The Hitman's Heatmaker was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Feather Duster".
