We, like usual, check the weapons the sniper has, give ratings and our own opinion, and thats it, right? *Piece of paper is given by Landeyx* Wait, we actually have to put your ratings here, this must be a joke. I mean, why would w... *Smoke appears and Landeyx appears in front of it*

As we're coming close to the end of the community weapons series we want to say: "Thank you"
You have supported and hated us troughout the guides and helped us improve our guides.

Back to the topic, this is a community guide I guess, so that means we have to put your opinions here. Just write them down and we will post them. Be sure to give them a rating and thats all. Let us get started.

Badly rated primary weapons (0-4)
The Classic

Overall score: 3.5/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 3/10- ''When was the last time you saw someone using this?''

Landeyx: 6/10 "Your enemy just becomes... blood..."

Ze Crab 5/10 "You can 360 Noscope AFK's"

Lord Jerry 4/10 "A weapon that depends on noscoping oon a class that depends on scoping great weapon"

TheMercWithoutAnUnusual: 2/10- ''The Classic Sniper would be so disapointed...''

Surnist: 5/10- ''It's a good sniper rifle, though it isn't as instinctive as the default Sniper is.''

SooldierPL: 0/10- ''This is not only the worst sniper rifle, this could be the worst weapon in whole game. It sucks sniper battles, bodyshooting, headshooting. Stop with that ''360 MLG" crap please, its just terrible no matter what.''

Bazaar Bargain

Overall score: 4.5/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 4/10- ''A good sniper can make this thing the most dangerous thing ever. Shame I am not one.''

Landeyx: 0/10 "No headshots=no sniper"

Ze Crab: 3/10 - "Only a good sniper can fully use this weapon" (So not me :P)

Lord Jerry: 7/10- ''great loss great reward rewards you for headshots pretty cool''

SooldierPL: 8/10- ''You don't need to wait years to headshot an overhealed heavy. And if you have more than 8 heads then it motivates you to stay alive.''

Surnist: 5/10- ''Vicious, it promotes shooting at the head but also penalize you for not doing so. Should be used by professional snipers.''
So-So rated Primary Weapons (5-7)
Sydney Sleeper

Overall Score: 5/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 5/10: ''It shoots piss and it doesnt headshot. I can only imagine how the metting in Valve HQ was when they gave this weapon idea.''

Machina

Overall score: 6.4/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 6/10: ''So... did the math and fully charged bodyshots on a normal sniper rifle do 150. On this one it does 173. Not enough of a diference, since you still cant kill a fully healed demoman with it. A normal sniper rifle on headshot does 150-450. A machina does 150-518. Only usefull agaisnt Brass Beasts and Natashas because of the damage reduction, and even there, it would take a tottaly overhealed heavy to survive a normal sniper rifle shot, something that you dont see that often. Plus, what in the world even has 518 health?''

Landeyx: 8/10 "Good for bodyshots,but show where your sniping from... causing targets to immediatly shoot at you."

Ze Crab: 7/10 "Good for smaller maps, you are screwed on the bigger ones"

Lord Jerry: 5.5/10 ''you rarely use the benefit of it and it reveals your camping spot''

SooldierPL: 8/10- ''I can't agree with you this time, buttstaber m8. "what in the world have 518 HP" Well... nothing, you are right. But it can kill overhealed natacha/brass beast hoovey. +penetrating ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)''

Surnist: 4/10, Strange, this rifle emphasize that it is made for doing damage, but it reveals your position, making it very hard to stay alive for more than one or two shots. And by conclusion, doing damage.

Hitmans Heatmaker

Overall score: 6.9/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 9/10: ''While those -20% on bodyshots can be a pain in the ass for someone as bad as me, the weapon is overall a straight upgrade.''

Landeyx: 6/10 "A silent,cool looking weapon."

Ze Crab: 7/10 "Looks awesome, sounds awesome, can be awesome with an awesome Sniper...
awesomeception... DAM DAM DAM"

Lord Jerry 7.5/10 "Greatly rewards you for headshotting"

SooldierPL: 6/10- ''Preety good weapon, nice look and sound. Good for advanced snipers.''

Surnist: 6/10- ''A quite good rifle, though it acts as a charge weapon for me, due to how you deal massive damage after the bar is filled, the -20% damage penalty on bodyshots makes up for the insane headshots.''
Well Rated primary Weapons (8-10)
Huntsman

Overall score: 8.7/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 9/10- ''Headshots for days.''

Landeyx: 9/10 "Jarate+huntsman+heads are gigantic targets for the huntsman=death and
destruction."

Ze Crab: 9/10 "IMA WILD BEAST - literally my reaction when killing someone with the Huntsman"

Lord Jerry: 8.4/10- ''call it the lucksman headshots when it shouldnt''

TheMercWithoutAnUnusual: 8/10- ''Use the Lucksma- I mean the Huntsman to hunt your enemies and annoy the hell outta them''

SooldierPL: 9/10- ''One time i headshooted a spy behind me. Im a soldier main, so shooting these projectile arrows isn't hard for me, so i give it 9.''

Sniper Rifle

Overall score: 10/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 10/10- ''Time and time again, the primary stock is always the top one.''

Landeyx: 10/10 "Stock is the best!"

Ze Crab 10/10 "Love the look of that beauty"

Lord Jerry: 11/10- WAY TO OP PLZ FIX

SooldierPL: 10/10- ''No downsides = only upgrades = OP. I actually hate this weapon when playing any other class, or theres a gibus aimbot faggy on server, but its still a very good weapon.''
Badly Rated Secondary Weapons (0-4)
There are no bad secondary weapons,only bad uses to them.
So-So rated Secondary Weapons (5-7)
Razorback

Overall score: 5.2/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 3/10- ''Total crap.Takes away an important secondary slot for an insurance policy about backstabs. Sounds good on paper, sure, but the sad truth is that there isnt a single spy that isnt a gibus that doesnt know that he can shoot you instead. The only weapon that it counters is, sadly, the ''Crazed Buttstaber Knife'' AKA Your Eternal Reward. Thats why I hate this weapon oh so much. It negates me of an easy backstab, and if I shoot him I lose my valuable disguise. I hate this weapon so much!''

Landeyx: 8/10 "Defends you against backstabs from spies,however they can just ambassador you or shoot you with a revolver."

Ze Crab: 7/10 "Good against Gibus Spies but other Spies can just headshot you with the Ambasssador"

Lord Jerry: 2.5/10 "useless thats why spies have a revolver"

TheMercWithoutAnUnusual: 5/10- ''DFS- Darwin's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Shield''

SooldierPL: razorback: 6/10- ''You are gonna hate me now, but i love this weapon, i even have strange one. You might think its maded for blocking backstabs, but you are wrong. It's maded for spies to leave you alone. How? First of all, spies have at least 3 knifes that have great bonuses on backstabs, (not only your eternal reward, crazed buttstaber bro) razorback prevents all of them. And if you are pushing with your team, then spy will just leave alone, because there will be no point of backstabing a sniper and risk of being detected. Just sit next to the sentries and you can live a good life. Thats right, spies can kill you with ambassador, but sniper will never be immortal to spies.''

SMG

Overall score: 7.2/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 7/10- ''Usable, but there are better options.''

Landeyx: 7/10 "Defensive and suitable for close combat,i would recommend the cleaners carabine as an smg instead of the stock."

Ze Crab: 8/10 "Not bad, Not bad at all"

Lord Jerry: 7/10 "goes well with the huntsman if you are reloading and find a enemy in your face"

Darwins Danger Shield

Overall score: 7.4/10

The Crazed Butstaber: 8/10- ''The ultimate counter-sniping weapon. Sure, soldiers and demos screw you up, but if they do find you and manage to hit you with an explosive, your many times as good as dead.''

Landeyx: 6/10 "Darwins Danger Shield is amazing against bullets and help you survive longer with the extra hp but can be a pain in the ass against demomen and soldiers. i dont recommend you use it because sniper isnt a close range class. You should only use this when using the huntsman but when you get jarate just equip that instead."

Ze Crab: 7/10 "It's best used with the Huntsman and the Tribalman's Shiv in Arena"

Lord Jerry: 7/10 "if you fight a sniper and survive you know its because of the danger shield"

Luke Skywalker: 9/10- ''mostly because its the perfect way to survive most headshots from other snipers, and its also bullet resistant so scouts wont hinder you AS much''
Well Rated Secondary Weapons (8-10)
Cleaners Carabine

Overall score: 8.2/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 7/10- ''GET TO THE CHOPPA!!''

Landeyx: 10/10 "MINICRITS BABY!"

Ze Crab 8/10 "DEM KILLSTREAKS"

Lord Jerry 7.8/10 "FREE MINICRITZ"

Cozy Camper

Overall score: 8.5/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 9/10- ''Yep, pretty much a straight upgrade. Then why a 9 instead of a 10? Cause it still takes away a valuable piss holding slot.''

Landeyx: 10/10 "As far as I know,the cozy camper only has pros. First of all,you get healed overtime,causing bleeding and afterburn doing less harm to ya. Second of all,you get 20% less knockback when aiming! This help you alot of keeping aim at your enemies. Third of all,you dont flinch when aiming! Causing your aim to improve so bigly that your unstoppable!"

Ze Crab: 8/10 "Best on Arena and on bigger maps"

Lord Jerry 7/10 "helps you camp hence the name"

Jarate

Overall score: 9/10

The Crazed Buttstaber. 10/10- ''Piece of piss!''

Landeyx: 10/10 "Ah PISS."

Ze Crab: 10/10 "Piss is love, Piss is life"

Lord Jerry 10/10 "its jar based karate what more do you want"

TheMercWithoutAnUnusual: 8/10- ''It definetly isn't piss''

✥TiffanyBlewz✥: 9.5 / 10- You could potentionally do quite a swell duty by tossing your jar onto powerful opposing forces, like a Heavy-Medic couple, or possibly other powerhouses of the sort (Demo, Soldier, etc.). You'll be the team's beloved hero if you're constantly - and I mean Frequently - spilling your body fluids onto the bad ol' mercs against YOUR cause. Should mention that this could all be done either while doing your rouitine sniping, throwing a jar whenever an unsuspecting enemy wanders by, or as a Sniper that's always on your toes, following some of your comrades to support some form of a push. I'm telling ya', these contained mini-crits are mighty helpful if used properly!

Surnist: 6/10- ''It might be too good for the sniper since liquids or jarate combos are so common now, but hey, at least people are predictable.''
Badly Rated Melee Weapons (0-4)
There are no bad melee weapons, only bad uses for them.
So-So rated Melee Weapons (5-7)
Tribalmans Shiv

Overall score: 5.2/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 6/10- ''As a proud buttstaber, I can say that this ''thing'' has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me up way more times that Im proud.''

Landeyx: 4/10 "Although the bleeding could be handy,the -50% dmg decrease just ♥♥♥♥♥ it all up."

Ze Crab 8/10 "You can piss off Spies"

Lord Jerry 3/10 "The damage penelty ruins it"

Surnist: 5/10- ''It's a good but situational weapon, the bleeding is nice for spies and finishing off enemies, but otherwise, it's not reliable for killing heavy targets.''

Kukri

Overall score: 7.1/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 8/10- ''Too lazy to get another knife.''

Landeyx: 7/10 "Just stock."

Ze Crab: 7.5/10- "Stock? Why not?"

Lord Jerry 8/10 "its a shank"

Surnist: 5/10- ''A standard weapon with high standards.''

Shahanshah

Overall score: 7.6/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 7/10- ''Easier for me to get those shots on a razorback sniper I guess.''

Landeyx: 9/10 "Increased crit rate,more dmg done when under 50% hp,this weapons is PRETTY good."

Ze Crab 8/10 "Good for finishing low HP Scrubs in Combat"

Lord Jerry 9/10 "helps you when you are at high health"

Surnist: 5/10- ''It is a life-saver or death sentence depending on the class you are fighting.''

Bushwacka

Overall score: 7.8/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 8/10- ''Hate being killed by it.''

Landeyx: 9/10 "20% damage done to you when active is a pain in the ass BUT,when using this with jarate the minicrits will turn into CRITS! Prepare your anuses then..."

Ze Crab: 9/10 "Good with piss"

Lord Jerry 7/10 "negates its downsides crits insted of minicrits and the downside is no random criticals"

Surnist: 6/10- ''So now, we have a Sniper that can crit at melee, the range at which he's suppose to panic? It's maybe too good.''
Well Rated Melee Weapons (8-10)
There are no good meele weapons, only good uses to them.
Special Sniper Weapon

Overall score: 12/10

Landeyx: 10/10 "The best of the best."

The Sydney Sleeper: 9/10 You get a ton of assist, plus you don't get penalized for bodyshots.
Олег Cumстрайк 8 Jul, 2016 @ 10:03am 
AWPer hand: penis/10
Can't rate this op shit

The Classic: 10/10
Let's make it clear: i'm in love with hipfire weapons for sniper. I actually get more headshots with the Ambassador and this little beast than with stock and other stuff. You can still use scope when you need to, but i would recommend to stay unscoped most of the time, so you get all the benefits of your default FOV.

The Huntsman: 9/10
A faster, easier to use Classic with bigger hitboxes and slow projectiles.

The Machina: 6,5/10
The most situational rifle. But it looks cool AND sounds powerful. And it deals damage. Sometimes.

Every other sniper rifle: 8/10
They are all the same, ffs.

Stock SMG, Darwin's DS, Cleaner's Carbine: 10/10
Goes well with almost everything.
