The Sydney Sleeper is an unlockable primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a single-shot pneumatic dart gun with an air tank in the stock, an attached scope and feathers tied to the barrel.

This weapon functions similarly to the Sniper Rifle; the weapon deals identical damage to the default weapon, but applies a Jarate effect upon a successful hit. Shots can be charged up whilst utilizing the scope; the higher the charge, the longer the Jarate effect. Upon reaching over 50% charge whilst scoped, a flashing Jarate icon will appear next to the charge meter, indicating that the shot will apply a Jarate effect onto an enemy target for 8 seconds. A charge below 50% will also result in a Jarate effect, but with a shorter duration.

The weapon's main flaw for precision Snipers is its inability to deal Critical hits with Headshots. Headshot kills will still register with the associated kill icon, but will not count as Critical hits.
