"Let's see how much blood's in ya!" Click to listen — The Sniper on gruesome dismemberment

”

The Classic is a primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a rifle based on the Sniper Rifle from Team Fortress Classic that is also based on the H&K G36, fitted with a longer barrel and a laser sight.

The Classic allows the player to charge their shot without having to be scoped, but the player will suffer a large amount of movement loss. It deals less damage on bodyshots, and can only headshot once fully charged. Unlike the other sniper rifles, it is charged by holding down the fire key, followed by releasing it to fire the shot. Additionally, the player can fire multiple shots without leaving the scope.

Players killed by a charged shot will be gibbed, and will also leave behind a cloud of red mist where the player was standing, which quickly fades away.

A detriment to the Classic is that once the fire button has been held down, it becomes impossible to go back on that and it seems as if a shot has to be fired or be stuck with the decrease of movement speed. This however can be avoided by jumping in the air and releasing the fire button in midair. A static click will sound and the rifle won't lose any ammunition. The rifle being unable to fire in midair can sometimes be of annoyance but it is more useful for conserving ammunition if someone killed a target that you were charging up for before you could shoot.
