The Bazaar Bargain is a primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a long ornately carved rifle with a small circular sight attached to a long rod, secured with golden straps. the stock is curved with a golden recoil pad.
This weapon features a specific bonus attuned to headshots. At the start, the the headshot counter is set to 0. As such, the zoomed charge rate of the weapon is 20% less than that of the Sniper Rifle. Upon the player successfully scoring a headshot, the charge rate of the next shot taken will be 10% faster. Subsequent headshots will increase the charge rate by 10% increments, until the bonus caps out at 7 consecutive headshots, at which the weapon will have a 50% faster charge rate. Should the player deliver a body shot with the weapon, however, the headshot counter will decrease by one and the charge rate will decrease by 10%. Missing a shot completely will clear the headshot counter. Unscoped shots taken with the weapon will not affect the charge rate.
This item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Sniper Rifle 1.

Bugs
- Although the headshot counter appears to max out at seven, it actually does go up beyond it. This doesn't grant any more increase in charging speed, but allows the player to score several bodyshots without the charge speed and the visible counter falling, as long as the headshot counter is at seven or above.
- When the Sniper pulls back the bolt to release the spent shell, the shell appears to pop out of the Sniper's face.
- This weapon lacks team-colored critical-boost textures, and will only surge with lightning to represent a crit boost.
- Headshotting a Scout under the influence of Bonk! Atomic Punch will give you a head if you headshot the Scout even though it says miss.
Unused content
- There are 4 different sound effects located in the GCF, for the Bazaar Bargain, that are not used. Further, there is a sound in the GCF labeled as
sniper_bazaarbargain_shoot.wav
, which is the Sydney Sleeper firing sound under a different name.
Trivia
- The Bazaar Bargain is based on the jezail, a type of musket that was commonly used in the Middle East. While the quality and manufacture of such weapons differed widely, a common feature of these weapons lay in their use of a heavily curved stock and rifled barrels, the latter 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 'Template:W' is a Persian word which describes large markets where goods are sold. Bazaars can be found across the world, though they are most common in the Middle East, primarily in Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
