It's been a while since this thread was made, however I wanna put my opinion down on the field here with regards to the Sydney Sleeper. While its true you can charge + bodyshot with any sniper rifle, the Sydney Sleeper is the most popular rifle to do so. Here are the stats on this rifle:
- +25% Charge Rate (The true killer)
- On Hit: Jarate applied to target for 8 seconds.
I must agree with J.D in regards to the annoyance of a player named Lucy. I'd recommend you don't mention your hatred for Sydney Sleepers, or for that matter, Lucy in general. This player will target you specifically (With suspiciously accurate results) until you rage.
Why it is cheap:
- You have a much larger target to aim for, making it so much easier to actually get a hit on the first shot.
- With the faster charge rate, you can easily 2 shot anyone you please while still being able to avoid skillful quick-scope headshots.
- I don't know how often you've experienced this, but have you ever been shot, covered with Jarate, and then instantly bodyshot aftwards? It happens much too often, and I blame this on the irresistible attraction to snipers covered in pis-half the time its essentially a guaranteed kill next shot.
- (My personal favorite argument): I myself consider sniper servers meant to be for practicing your skills as a sniper, and what is the quickest way to kill someone in the game?
Headshot (Let's not forget that the Sydney Sleeper
cannot headshot). I join sniper servers specifically to hone my headshotmlg360scopeswagxXxelite skill, because when it comes to UGC tournaments, bodyshots will not do.
What does this have to do with those of you that like to use the Sydney Sleeper? I can't practice my headshotmlg360scopeswagxXxelite skill when my scope keeps getting knocked by your bodyshotmlg360noscopeswagxXxelite skill and I know for a fact I am not the only one complaining
