The Sydney Sleeper is an unlockable primary weapon for the Sniper class, replacing the Sniper Rifle.

It is almost identical to the Sniper Rifle in that it can be scoped, with the same damage output. However, upon going over 50% charge, the shot will cause a Jarate effect on the target for 8 seconds. This weapon lacks the ability to perform Headshots.

This gun also makes up for this with the chance to randomly fire a Critical, an ability not normal in the Sniper's other primary weapons.

Trivia

• At the moment the Sydney Sleeper is capable of hitting multiple targets with one shot. If the user fires a fully charged shot at an enemy player while another opponent is standing closely behind the intended target, the second opponent will also be hit with the shot. Thus allowing a fully charged Sniper to possibly take out a Medic combo with 1 fully charged, well placed shot.
• The guns piercing effect is able to pierce through more than four players, although, the first person in line usually lives.
• 'Sydney' is the capital of New South Wales, Australia.
