Playing the game, but rarely part of it, is the sniper. Armed with a large
scoped rifle and a good aim, the sniper sits back patiently picking off
his targets with a well-aimed shot to the head. Be sure to keep moving to
give him a harder time or give away his location, as once close the sniper
becomes easy prey. One of Valve's main ideas was to make each unit easily distinguishable from a distance despite their skin. So the dark silhouette of the sniper's hat should give you a second to re-evaluate your position. Alongside the rifle, the Sniper possesses a small automatic machine gun and a machete if anyone gets too close.

| Default Weapons Primary: Sniper Rifle Ammo loaded and carried: 25 Comes with a scope for long range, while scoped the rifle has a charge. The higher the charge the more powerful the shot. Headshots are extremely lethal. Secondary: Submachine Gun Ammo loaded and carried: 25 | 75 Ideal for close quarter problems such as spies but does little damage over all. Useful for finishing off hurt enemies. Melee: Kukri A large machete like weapon also useful for pesky spies. Unlockable Weapons Primary: Huntsman Ammo loaded and carried: 1 | 12 A bow which can be used for long and medium range gameplay. The huntsman can be charged by holding down primary fire to pull the arrow right back. Fully charged hits and headshots do lethal damage. A Pyro can set alight arrows you are reading for to shoot, which ignite enemies they hit. Secondary: Razorback This is a shield which goes on the sniper's back to prevent backstabs. Once a spy stabs the razorback it breaks but deals an electric shock which temporarily disables use of the spy's knife. Secondary Alternative: Jarate A jar of urine which can be thrown on enemies to cause mini crits (+35%). Throwing this on enemy spies will also show their location despite being cloaked. Lastly it can be used to extinguish yourself or team mates on fire. Other details: Special Taunt: An arrow stab with the huntsman stuns enemies then kills them as the arrow is pulled out. Hat: The sniper's traditional slouch hat with a crocodile teeth belt. Achievements You can view a full list of the Sniper achievements here. |
