“

Can you believe the Sniper found an old bolt action rifle, a long piece of metal, some bolts, one half of a binocular and a military grade laser sight, ALL for just under three dinars? — Bazaar Bargain publicity blurb

”

The Bazaar Bargain is a community-created primary weapon for the Sniper. It is an ornately-carved rifle with a curved stock. A small lens is used as a makeshift scope, and a laser sight is attached underneath the barrel.

Compared to the default Sniper Rifle, this weapon has a 50% slower charge rate. However, it also features a "Heads" counter; for each successful headshot, 1 head is added to the counter, increasing the weapon's charge rate by 25%. This bonus caps out at 6 heads, at which point the weapon has a 100% faster charge rate than the default Sniper Rifle. Upon death, all heads are lost and the weapon's charge rate is subsequently reset to its base speed.

If the player kills an enemy Demoman wielding the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, or Nessie's Nine Iron, a Soldier wielding the Air Strike, a Sniper wielding the Bazaar Bargain, or a Medic wielding the Vita-Saw, the player receives an additional amount of heads relative to the stored heads/kills/organs of the enemy player's weapon.

This item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Sniper Rifle 1.

Trivia

• The Bazaar Bargain is based on a jezail, a type of handcrafted musket that was commonly used in the Middle East. While the quality and manufacture of such weapons varied widely, common features of these weapons was their use of rifled barrels and a heavily curved stock, the former of which gave them a great advantage in range and accuracy over the smoothbore firearms that were commonly used up until the mid-19th century.
• A bazaar is a marketplace/street where many different goods are sold, typically found in the Middle East.
