'''Jarate''', the "Jar-based Karate", is an unlockable [[Weapons#snipersecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Sniper]]. It is a standard mason jar filled with urine that is capped with a screw-on lid.
 +
 
 +
The item is a thrown weapon; the jar breaks and the liquid is splashed over a short distance, either upon immediate contact with the world or another player. Enemies caught within the splash radius will be [[Covering|covered]] in the contents of the jar for 10 seconds. During this period, all incoming [[damage]] is registered as [[Critical hits#mini-crits|mini-crits]]. The victim's view is tinted a watery yellow, and they shed yellow droplets. The effect duration can be reduced through continuous [[healing]], or can be removed instantly by jumping into [[water]] or touching a [[Respawn#Resupply|resupply cabinet]].  This weapon has a 20-second cooldown before it can be used again as indicated in the [[HUD]], and a ding will play to alert the player it has regenerated. As a [[Projectiles|projectile]], it can be [[Compression blast|deflected]] by an enemy [[Pyro]]; as a projectile thrown by hand, it cannot be used underwater.
 +
 
 +
Jarate has many other useful attributes. It can be used to reveal enemy [[Spy|Spies]] and short out their [[Cloak]]ing devices, resulting in an automated [[Spy responses#Hit by Jarate or Mad Milk|voice response]]; a Spy who attempts to Cloak while under the effects of Jarate will be visible as a [[team]]-colored silhouette that reveals his current [[disguise]], if any. Jarate-covered enemies take mini-crits from [[fire|afterburn]], [[bleeding]], [[Sentry Gun]]s, and other sources of damage that normally cannot crit. Additionally, the weapon is not limited to offensive use, as it can be used to extinguish afterburn on oneself and teammates; the user and teammates are immune to the negative effects of Jarate, whereas enemies cannot benefit from its positive effects.
 +
 
 +
When playing in [[Multiplayer options#Advanced multiplayer options|Colorblind mode]], a Jarate icon is shown above any player who is currently sodden with the weapon.
 +
 
 +
Jarate is automatically given to any player who obtains 11 [[Sniper achievements]].

Wreak havoc on your opponent's mental state, psychological well-being and trust in the inherent goodness of his fellow man!
Jarate publicity blurb

Jarate, the "Jar-based Karate", is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Sniper. It is a standard mason jar filled with urine that is capped with a screw-on lid.

The item is a thrown weapon; the jar breaks and the liquid is splashed over a short distance, either upon immediate contact with the world or another player. Enemies caught within the splash radius will be covered in the contents of the jar for 10 seconds. During this period, all incoming damage is registered as mini-crits. The victim's view is tinted a watery yellow, and they shed yellow droplets. The effect duration can be reduced through continuous healing, or can be removed instantly by jumping into water or touching a resupply cabinet. This weapon has a 20-second cooldown before it can be used again as indicated in the HUD, and a ding will play to alert the player it has regenerated. As a projectile, it can be deflected by an enemy Pyro; as a projectile thrown by hand, it cannot be used underwater.

Jarate has many other useful attributes. It can be used to reveal enemy Spies and short out their Cloaking devices, resulting in an automated voice response; a Spy who attempts to Cloak while under the effects of Jarate will be visible as a team-colored silhouette that reveals his current disguise, if any. Jarate-covered enemies take mini-crits from afterburn, bleeding, Sentry Guns, and other sources of damage that normally cannot crit. Additionally, the weapon is not limited to offensive use, as it can be used to extinguish afterburn on oneself and teammates; the user and teammates are immune to the negative effects of Jarate, whereas enemies cannot benefit from its positive effects.

When playing in Colorblind mode, a Jarate icon is shown above any player who is currently sodden with the weapon.

Jarate is automatically given to any player who obtains 11 Sniper achievements.
