On Day 7 of the joint Sniper / Spy update news, Valve has unveiled the Sniper's newest unlock, the Jarate.

Jarate is a thrown jar that splashes upon impact. When splashed on enemies, they take 35% more damage for a period of time. Jumping in water will wash off Jarate. Jarate is also able to short out Spies’ cloaking devices. When used on teammates, Jarate will extinguish any fire effects.

Head over to the Sniper vs. Spy update page for more information, as well as a list of Sniper achievements (without descriptions yet) and a comic extolling the virtues of Jarate.
