The Sniper

The Cleaner's Carbine is a secondary weapon for the Sniper. It is a submachine gun with a suppressor and folding skeletal stock.

This weapon gains 3 seconds of guaranteed critical hits when it kills an enemy, similar to the Killing Gloves of Boxing. However, it has a magazine capacity 20% smaller than that of the SMG and a 35% slower firing speed, and it is incapable of delivering random critical hits. Killing someone during a crit buff will reset its duration time to 3 seconds instead of adding to it. When critical hits are active, the user gets the bonus for all weapons, rather than for just the Cleaner's Carbine.

The Cleaner's Carbine was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Street Sweeper" for the reason that the Cleaner's Carbine's main function is too finish off weakened enemies and give a great advantage when taking on a group of threats.

Basic strategy

Given the fact that the Cleaner's Carbine does not fire as quickly or as many bullets per clip as the regular SMG it is recommended that the sniper uses his primary or tertiary weapon to deal the bulk of the damage and reserve the Cleaner's Carbine to "finish off" the opposing threat. After the Cleaner's Carbine has executed a successful kill; the sniper will be granted a three second period of guaranteed critical hits using the Cleaner's Carbine, the critical shots can then be used to heavily damage/kill other opponents making it useful in support and contending against multiple enemies. One of the benefits of using a Cleaner's Carbine in close combat with a spy is that the carbine will not grant critical shots if the spy's death is feigned (which would be seen as the snipers team colored bullets and a "shocking effect" around the Cleaner's Carbine.
