Talk:Sydney Sleeper

Damage + Function Times

Here's what I've learned:

Damage

• Unscoped Shot: 46-50
• Scoped (0% Charge): 45-50
• Scoped (50% Charge): 70-80 (Jarate effect starts)
• Scoped (100% Charge): 130-160

Crit Damage

• Crits seems to use a standard 3x multiplier. Would it max out at 450 or higher since it spreads up to 160 damage? Mini-crit section just has the standard value currently. Mechlord 11:44, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Greenmarine, a valve developer has stated on the something awful forums that the sydney sleeper being able to crit is a bug.

Function Times

• Identical to Sniper Rifle

Conclusion: The rifle must be at least halfway charged before it will inflict the Jarate effect.

Also, the Sleeper's shots have a penetrating effect; it can hit more than one opponent in a row. -- MistahFixIt 01:19, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Yup it can penetrate few players at once http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouD1O9BlIUA&feature=player_embedded lol--Markd 13:07, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

damage is not accurate, i've seen it do 170 damage (regular damage not mini crit)--Banished one 17:08, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Trivia about piercing

The guns piercing effect is able to pierce through more than four players, although, the first person in line usually lives.

I don't understand. Why would the first person hit survive? --CruelCow 15:08, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

this is incorrect the first person doesn't live.Rocketlawnchair 15:21, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Headshots

the item it's currently bugged and does headshot. Asmodei 17:35, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Need proof, because if this is true, that's STUPID --Firestorm 17:41, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

upon testing it seems it does headshot, but there's no bonus damage for it. headshot's from this weapon are purely cosmetical. --Asmodei 18:26, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok, good, thanks for that. --Firestorm 18:27, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Jarate Effect when Ubered?

I noticed something today in a mix: Whilst Uberred, an enemy Sniper hit a fully charged shot at me and I got the Jarate effect. When I lost my uber, an enemy Scout mini-critted me to death. I didn't die after the event, so I cannot confirm it. I'll do some investigation tomorrow, although it would be nice if somebody would be so kind as to beat me to this confirmation. :P --Leftism 00:31, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I've noticed after the polycount update that if you have Kritzkrieg, a Buff Banner, or They are Jarated if attacking an ubered player they will make the noise as if they were crit.--Ikimono1 22:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Sentries

A friend of mine says that the Sleeper will penetrate through sentry guns, but NOT through one that is shielded by the Wrangler. Test please! --Firestorm 23:19, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I dont think this is possible, i remember shooting down a SG with the engy behind it. i never hit him or his dispenser, ill keep my eye on thisRocketlawnchair 15:25, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Unused Darts

"However, unused darts can be found in game files, which may mean that the Sydney Sleeper fired projectiles in beta stages." Can someone be a dear and take some lovely pictures of said darts and put them on this page? Thanks. -- En Ex _(talk) 14:28, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
