The Sniper on professional standards

A rugged and ready crack shot from the Australian outback, the Sniper prefers to pick his targets off from a distance though he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty if the situation requires. Preferring to hide in elevated or hard-to-see spots, the Sniper can pick off slower classes like the Heavy with ease. The Sniper is also ideal for eliminating enemy Medics, giving his team a chance to advance.

While the Sniper tends to isolate himself from the frontlines, the Huntsman allows him to move up the field, laying down suppressive volleys of arrows while his ancient and mysterious Jarate powers can increase damage dealt against his foes by himself and teammates alike.

The Sniper is voiced by John Patrick Lowrie.

Trivia

  • In his fight scene with the Sniper in Meet the Spy, the Spy inflicts a gash on the Sniper's cheek. The gash was later added to the Sniper's in-game model.
  • The bullets the Sniper keeps in his vest pocket are different than the ones he actually uses for his rifle or his Submachine Gun.
  • The Sniper's parents live on Adelaide Street, Australia (Red House on the left). This could mean the BLU Sniper's parents live on the same street but in the Blue House on the right.
  • In Meet the Spy, the BLU Sniper holds his rifle left-handed.
  • The Sniper's voice actor, John Patrick Lowrie, is married to Ellen McLain, voice actress for the Administrator. Both John and Ellen provided voices for characters in Template:W.
  • The Sniper's world model is only seen with a fingerless glove on his left hand, and a watch on his left arm, where all of his view models have a glove on both hands, and no watch. (Viewmodel_fov must be set higher to see the watch, or lack thereof.)
  • The Sniper and the Spy are the only classes able to get a "headshot". This may be intended irony as they are the worst of enemies.
  • The Sniper is the tallest class in the game.
