The Sydney Sleeper is a community-made primary weapon for the Sniper. It appears as a single-shot pneumatic dart gun with an air tank attached to the stock, a scope fitted to the top and feathers tied to the barrel. When equipped, the Sniper will appear to have darts in his breast pocket.
This weapon functions similarly to the Sniper Rifle in that it deals identical damage, can scope, and has a charge function. However, upon zooming in for at least one second 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. The Jarate effect can only be applied to enemies, and as such will not extinguish allies in the same fashion that the Jarate can. The Sydney Sleeper has a 25% faster charge rate, meaning that it will take 2.8 seconds instead of 3.3 seconds to fully charge a shot whilst scoped.
The weapon's main drawback for precision Snipers is its inability to deal critical hits with headshots.
The kill icon for the Sydney Sleeper was contributed by MasterOfOrigami.
