The Shooting Star is a primary weapon for the Sniper. This weapon is a Sniper Rifle made from a jury-rigged laser equipped with a telescopic sight with two fins atop it and a team-colored button on the side. An antennae protrudes from the barrel of the rifle with a small tube of team-colored liquid at the end of the barrel. The rifle is constructed from grayish-green metal and covered in a cream material at the stock and body of the rifle.

Enemies killed by the Shooting Star suffer a distinctive death by incineration, wherein they disintegrate into smoldering orange cinders that quickly fade away.

This weapon functions identically to the Machina.

The Shooting Star was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the same name.
