Machina
From Team Fortress Wiki
| “ | Not so smart with yer brain outside yer head, are ya?
— The Sniper on piercing rounds
|
” |
The Machina (/ˈmɑːkiːnə/ or /ˈmækɨnə/ mah-kee-nə[1]) is a promotional primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a futuristic Sniper Rifle with a fluted barrel and a soft grip. It is styled after the Longsword 202 ERASER from Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
While this weapon deals identical damage to the default Sniper Rifle, it cannot be fired unless the player is utilizing the scope. Attempting to fire the weapon unscoped will cause a "click" sound effect in addition to sparks being emitted from the rifle's muzzle, at no cost to the player's ammo. A fully charged shot fired by the Machina delivers an extra 15% damage, can pierce through multiple enemies, and has a distinct firing sound. Buildings cannot be penetrated, however they can be damaged as usual by a penetration shot that goes through a player. As a drawback, each shot fired has tracer rounds, leaving a faint team-colored trail in the air for a few seconds which, in turn, notifies enemies of the Sniper's position.
A successful penetration kill, where a fully charged shot penetrates an enemy to kill another enemy behind them, will trigger a unique fanfare sound effect audible to every player on the server, similar to the sound made by the Chargin' Targe.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Steam before August 26, 2011.

Update history
August 18, 2011 Patch (Manno-Technology Bundle)
- The Machina was added to the game.
- Added draw/recoil forces for The Machina

December 15, 2011 Patch (Australian Christmas 2011)

Bugs
- Occasionally, the tracer round will stop around an enemy target despite the shot not registering as a hit.
- When firing under the effects of damage recoil, the Machina may appear to fire two bullets: one bullet firing towards the intended target, and the other firing a few degrees higher at a diagonal angle out of the barrel. This may be caused by the Machina's particle effect. The second shot deals no damage and costs no ammo.
- The unique sound effect for reloading the Machina currently does not work.
Trivia
- Much like the game from which it originates, the weapon is named after the phrase deus ex machina, Latin for "god out of the machine". It is a term used to describe a convenient plot device that appears out of nowhere, usually to solve a difficult problem instantly.
