The Sydney Sleeper is a community-made primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a single-shot pneumatic dart gun with an air tank with spare darts (with corks) attached to the stock, a scope fitted to the top and feathers tied to the barrel. When equipped, the Sniper will appear to have darts in his breast pocket.
Like the Sniper Rifle, the Sydney Sleeper can scope, and has a charge function when scoping. However, upon zooming in for at least one second whilst scoped, a flashing Jarate icon will appear next to the charge meter, indicating that the shot will apply a Jarate effect onto an enemy target for 8 seconds. The Jarate effect can only be applied to enemies, and as such will not extinguish allies in the same fashion that the Jarate can. The Sydney Sleeper has a 25% faster charge rate, meaning that it will take 2.8 seconds, reduced from the Sniper Rifle's 3.3 second charge time, to fully charge a shot whilst scoped.
The weapon's main drawback for precision Snipers is its inability to deal critical hits with headshots, therefore relying more heavily on assists to finish off key targets. However, this also means that the Sniper can be less accurate, and with the Jarate effect, targets can easily be dealt with by your teammates.
The kill icon for the Sydney Sleeper was contributed by MasterOfOrigami.
