Snipin's a good job, mate! It's challengin' work, outta doors. I guarantee you'll not go hungry, cause at the end of the day, long as there's two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead.
The Sniper

A rugged and ready crack shot from the Australian outback, the Sniper prefers to pick his targets off from a distance with his lethal headshot ability. Taking to hiding in elevated or hard-to-see spots, the Sniper can pick off slower classes like the Heavy with ease. The Sniper is also ideal for eliminating enemy Medics, giving his team a chance to advance into enemy territory and turn the tide of the battle.

While the Sniper tends to isolate himself from the frontlines, the Huntsman allows him to move up the field, laying down suppressive volleys of arrows while his ancient and mysterious Jarate powers can increase damage dealt against his foes by himself and teammates alike.

The Sniper is voiced by John Patrick Lowrie.

The Sniper removes the arrow from his bow, twirls it behind him, then stabs it forward fiercely to stun the enemy momentarily. He then brings the arrow back to his bow again, killing the enemy. Perhaps the quickest and easiest taunt kill to use.
