Now I gotta make a necklace outta your teeth, bushman's rules.
The Sniper on fashionable attire

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 utilising the scope. Upon reaching over 50% charge whilst scoped, however, the shot will inflict Jarate on the target for 8 seconds. In addition, shots have the chance to randomly become Critical hits, an ability not normally present in the Sniper's other primary weapons. 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.

Trivia

  • At the moment the Sydney Sleeper is capable of hitting multiple targets with one shot, unlike the original one. If the user fires a fully charged shot at an enemy player while another opponent is standing closely behind the intended target, the second opponent will also be hit with the shot. Thus allowing a fully charged Sniper to possibly take out a Medic combo with 1 fully charged, well placed shot. This piercing effect is able to pierce through more than 12 players.
  • 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.
  • 'Template:W' is the capital of New South Wales, Australia and contrary to popular belief, not the capital of Australia as a whole. That crown belongs to Template:W.
  • Even though it supposedly shoots darts which may be classed as projectiles, the Sydney Sleeper is a hitscan weapon.
  • This is the second primary weapon to change a cosmetic feature on the player (i.e. the dart pack on Snipers chest) after the Huntsman.
  • In addition to triggering the fake death on the Dead Ringer, inflicting Jarate on the Spy reveals his presence clearly for the team.
