Jarate, the "Jar-based Karate", is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Sniper. It is a standard mason jar filled with urine that is capped with a screw-on lid.
The item is a thrown weapon; the jar breaks and the liquid is splashed over a short distance, either upon immediate contact with the world or another player. Enemies caught within the splash radius will be covered in the contents of the jar for 10 seconds. During this period, all incoming damage is registered as mini-crits, the player's view is tinted yellow, and they shed yellow droplets. The liquid can be removed by the player jumping into water or being healed for an extended period of time. This weapon has a 20-second cooldown before it can be used again as indicated in the HUD, and a ding will play to alert the player it has regenerated. As a projectile, it can be deflected by an enemy Pyro and can collide with a baseball launched by an enemy Scout.
Jarate has many other useful attributes. It can be used to reveal enemy Spies and short out their Cloaking devices, resulting in an automated voice response; a Spy who attempts to Cloak while under the effects of Jarate will be visible as a team-colored silhouette that reveals his current disguise, if any. Jarate-covered enemies take mini-crits from afterburn, bleeding, and Sentry Gun damage. Additionally, the weapon is not limited to offensive use, as it can be used to extinguish afterburn on oneself and teammates.
The effects of Jarate are removed more quickly when being healed by a Medic or Dispenser.
Jarate is automatically given to any player who obtains 11 Sniper achievements.
When playing in Colorblind mode, an icon of Jarate is shown above any player who has been sodden with the weapon.

Bugs
- While the CVar "mp_usehwmmodels" is set to 1, player model heads will not be tinted yellow when coated with Jarate.
- Similarly, when thrown at a Sentry Buster, the "bomb" part of the model will not be tinted yellow; only the legs will be tinted.
Trivia
- Jarate's first appearance in the Team Fortress 2 universe was in the Meet the Sniper video, appearing as a seemingly incidental background object. On April 1, 2009 (Template:W), Jarate was revealed in a Sneak Preview as an unlockable weapon for the Sniper. Jarate was then visible in the Meet the Spy video in the background of the brawl between the Sniper and the Spy. On Day 7 of the Sniper vs. Spy Update, the final day of announcements, Jarate was revealed as the last Sniper unlockable.
- The word "Piss" and its variants in tense are swear-filtered to "Jarate" on the Steam Users Forums.
