The Sydney Sleeper is an unlockable primary weapon for the Sniper class. 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; players can fire either from the hip or use the scope. The weapon deals identical damage to the default weapon, and shots can be charged up whilst utilizing the scope. Upon reaching over 50% charge whilst scoped, a flashing Jarate icon will appear next to the charge meter, indicating that the shot will apply Jarate onto an enemy target for 8 seconds. A charge below 50% will result in accordance to a shorter Jarate effect. In return, this weapon lacks the ability to deal Critical hits on Headshots although it has no real disadvantage to the default Sniper Rifle which also cannot generate random Critical hits, the only disadvantage being no head shots. Kills made via headshot will register with the associated kill icon, but will not count as a Critical hit.

Trivia
- Originally, the Sydney Sleeper was planned as a secondary weapon. [1]
- Despite looking like a projectile shooter, the Sydney Sleeper is a hitscan weapon and does not leave a dart stuck into the target. However, unused darts can be found in game files, seen in the gallery below, which may mean that the Sydney Sleeper fired projectiles during beta testing. However, it is possible that these darts were intended to be used in a custom reloading animation that was eventually scrapped, as seen here (see first animation).
- When Crit-boosted, any kills from Sydney Sleeper will be indicated as a critical headshot when aiming for an enemy's head.
- The Kill icon for this weapon was actually created by community user Dark_One2012 who also created the Amputator's Kill Icon.
