Sydney Sleeper: The Most Unique Sniper Primary

  • Sniper has many options for primaries but one is particularly unique . . . and it isn't the huntsman.
    While it isn't the best or most used the Sydney Sleeper is the most unique sniper primary. It changes sniper into a long-range support unit, capable of handing out mini-crits to teammates (in theory).

    my idea to fix the sydney sleeper: bring back the fully charged jarate explosion heashot, but it only works if you have the jarate jar equipped. and when you get a jarate headshot, it uses your jarate jar as though you threw it. that way there's a cooldown. for every player killed that has your jarate effect applied, it removes one second from the jarate cooldown

    piss rifle actually makes sniper balanced. It forces you into an actual support role. You can take out key targets but you actually have to put some time and effort into it instead of just instakilling them then moving onto the next. It can still quickscope albeit nowhere near as effective as stock meaning you have to make sure to follow it up with another shot/your smg.
    Its max headshot damage is 203 which is enough to 1 shot everything barring a max head demoknight, battalions soldier and a heavy.

    I think that the Jarate splash shouldn't just be kicked to the curb. I think that It would be smart to have the Jarate splash happen on headshots, and maybe last slightly less long on enemies affected by the splash. For example, a full-charged, 5 second headshot would give 3 seconds of Jarate to enemies affected by the splash. This would probably need to be messed around with and have changed times but I think that the Jarate splash was a great idea, and it should've been kept in some form.

    Great video, I like your suggestions. I feel that the Sydney Sleeper is really overshadowed by the strength of Jarate. If you want minicrits, its far too easy to replace your secondary and coat groups of enemies every few seconds. If Jarate were nerfed, lasting less time on enemies and requiring dealing damage to charge, then I think the Sydney Sleeper would be a lot more appealing.

    The main problem of balancing the SS is the fact that Jarate itself is unbalanced, a Soldier Buff Banner on a cooldown that doesn't need to be filled with damage is insanely good. If the Jarate was nerfed, maybe it needs to be filled with damage like the Banner, then I can see the SS being balanced much more smoothly.

  • @joemommaoramma7090
    @joemommaoramma7090 4 місяці тому +2

    maybe the SS could coat nearby people in jarate after a headshot kill (assuming the SS can headshot now). this would reward snipers for hitting headshots by supporting your team, and also fill the support role. of course the splash radius would have to be pretty small (or relative to the damage dealt) and a substantial downside would have to be added, maybe a slower scope time to encourage hardscoping.

    Honestly, I miss when the SS was a part of the counter-sniper cosmetic set. The SS should just be minus headshotting and 20% damage, but apply 30 damage worth of bleed on any hit, scoped or not, and give the equipper crit immunity. Fully charged shots can apply 30s of jarate to give it anti pocket utility just for fun. (normal enemies won't live long after a fully charged bodyshot anyways, and if your target is a heavy other rifles could have headshot them outright)

  • @ZestyBirb
    @ZestyBirb 4 місяці тому

    Hear me out, I've got an idea to rework Sniper
    1. Lower the Sniper Rifle's base damage to 40. This makes a quick scope deal only 120 damage, just off from a oneshot on even light classes. This is still a lot of damage mind you and will still lead to plenty of kills or assists.
    2. Overhaul the Charge Mechanic; instead of gaining up to 3x damage by staying scoped in, charge is gained by landing shots and lost by moving. The exact values would need testing but as a rough idea let me throw out some numbers. A body shot grants you 20% charge with a headshot being triple that. This means that essentially you can collect up to 5 damage boosting stacks with your base damage growing like so 40, 56, 72, 88, 104, 120, assuming you don't move. Additionally, if we still want sniper to be able to full charge pop an overhealed heavy, we could increase the maximum charge possible in order to allow sniper to still reach the 450 breakpoint, however I feel like that is a job better left for the spy to deal with, you can still absolutely chunk the heavy for 360 after all.
    This would mess with some rifles
    Anything relating to charge rate might need to be changed, especially the Bazaar Bargain, perhaps to instead be increases to max charge instead
    The Hitman's Heatmaker might end up being completely overpowered and require an overhaul
    And the Classic's main gimmick would need to be looked at, though with it not headshot unless fully charged I could see it keeping the hold to charge mechanic and staying the same
    I'm open to criticism, I'm very tired as I write this so it might not be well thought out

  • @Spoden
    @Spoden 4 місяці тому

    I believe the best way to balance the Sydney Sleeper would be to give it the full 5 seconds of Jarate upon headshot, but give charged headshots a Jarate AoE. In order to make this more balanced, it should have a slower charge rate than it does now. Either stock charge rate or -10% charge rate should suffice, I'd say. These changes should make it a good side-grade and not too powerful, especially when you take the lack of headshot crits into consideration.

  • @Flailmorpho
    @Flailmorpho 4 місяці тому

    I'd love to remove headshot bonus damage and instead make it apply longer jarate like you said, though I'd even take it further and have headshots double whatever the current charge level's application time is, making a fully charged headshot last 10 seconds to really seal the death of whoever got hit unless they duck into cover.
    I see the sleeper as a good new player option by making it so they're more comfortable not going for headshots all the time, but once they get used to the gun they can try to push headshots further. Overall I'd lover for it to be a weapon designed to ease new players into the class

  • @noisynixx
    @noisynixx 4 місяці тому

    TLDR:
    +Body shots apply 5 seconds of Jarate, Headshots apply 8 seconds
    +Target is outlined for the duration of the jarate effect
    +Shooting teammate on fire extinguishes them and the sniper heals for 20 health
    +Jarate covered enemies that die reduce the cool down of jarate jar by 1 second
    =Scope is less zoomed in
    -Charge meter is removed
    -Body shot damage is flat 100 damage, Headshots are a flat 150 damage(Not sure on the damage numbers, but I don't want you to always lose against snipers)
    -25% slower reload speed(% can be changed)
    (Jarate is no longer removed or shortened by any means. Shooting an enemy already covered in pee will just reset the counter, not stack)
    I think the primary issue with the SS and the classic is sniper vs sniper gameplay. You always lose against quickscopes and sniper is a snipers main target always. You need something to square the matchup, but there isn't really much of a way of doing so without changing sniper as a whole. The only thing I could think of is making it more of a short ranged weapon, like Classic and huntsman so you don't have to focus on long range application. How that would be balanced and still fun to use, I'm not sure.
    These are my suggestions(As a support main): Remove the charge meter, make damage consistent. This might sound extream, but I don't think zooming in and waiting should really be encouraged with a support style play, it just makes you more vulnerable. You shouldn't be as focus on waiting for the right charge time, more so on shoting the right target at the right time. Body shot will always do 100 damage, scoped headshots always do 150(In line with regular quickscopes, but capped). Jarate is injected rather than a jar splash so it should ignore any effect that shortens it's effect like healing. Body shots apply jarate for 5 seconds and headshots do 8. The target who is shot has an outline applied to them, just like when you spawn and see teammates through walls basically marking them for teammates to see they are weakened. Make the zoom of the scope less zoomed in so sniper vs sniper is less encouraged and close range shots are easier. Make the reload cycle time slower to encourage less spam. Fix the extinguish jank and give 20 health back from extinguishes just like pyro gets. Also should apply to regular jarate(imo). Keep the jar cooldown stat but instead apply it to assists, so you don't make jar spam a thing and encourage teamplay.
    Overall the gun would be less about damage and much more about general support. Marking enemies especially would encourage the target to be focused by teamates more so than just the pee effect. This would be a fun sniper for me and feel much more like a support sniper. Also side note. In MVM explosive headshot would instead apply the jarate as an explosion instead of doing more damage.

    (+) Added +33% faster firing speed
    (+) Added 25% faster reload speed
    (+) Jarate applied starts at 2 seconds regardless of charge
    (-) Removed faster charge speed
    these were thee final stats:
    (+) +33% faster firing speed
    (+) 25% faster reload speed
    (+) On Scoped Hit: Apply Jarate for 2 seconds
    (+) Nature's Call: Apply Jarate for 5 seconds on headshot, and reduce the remaining cooldown of Jarate by 1 second
    (-) Minicrits on headshot

    Here is my idea of a new Sydney Sleeper that is both effective, unique and fun to use!
    Pros:
    [Tweak] +50% charge rate (from +25%)
    [New] +100% Clip Size (Now with 50 shots rather than 25)
    [Tweak] On Hit: Apply Jarate for 2 seconds. Can be stacked with multiple shots. (Multiple darts on the same target result in Jarate lasting longer*)
    [Tweak] Nature's Call: Scoped Headshots always mini-crit
    [New] Charge loads darts which can be shot in rapid fire**
    Cons:
    [New] -33% damage penalty (You cannot one shot enemies)
    [Same] No Headshots
    [Same] No Random Critical Hits
    *The debuff is additive which means that:
    1st Shot: 2 seconds
    2nd: 4 seconds
    3rd: 6 seconds
    4th: 8 seconds
    5th: 10 seconds (MAX)
    **Similar to the Hitman's Heatmaker's Focus meter or Classic's mechanic where it does not unscope when fired.
    It only loads up to 5 darts maximum per full scoped charge.
    The SS as it currently stands is good but it needs to be improved in the execution of the Jarate's application and the need to nerf its killing power to further cement its place as a support gun. I suggest that instead of the traditional charge that we are used to, the charge actually loads darts into the gun and they can be released in rapid fire without unscoping (like the Hitman's Heatmaker). The goal is to remain scoped, but the darts are constantly being shot down to multiple enemies or singled into one target to have the darts increase greatly the duration of Jarate on them. The weapon is not meant to kill but it is meant to support your team in their killing power while greatly sacrificing your own.

To avoid quickscope jarate-ing, maybe we just make it so you have to wait a second for your shot to apply jarate, or even to shoot for that matter

    I think its hard to compete with 'just killing the guy'. What benefit would be worth trading the kill for something different? It needs to have a way of applying effects to more targets than you would be able to shoot with a normal rifle.

    Insane opinion
    I think Sniper should be balanced using Sydney Sleeper, Classic, and/or Huntsman as the base

  • @aanproduction1516
    @aanproduction1516 4 місяці тому +1

    how about that: Sydney Sleeper would have a higher base damage at 70
    It charges 50% faster
    The charge only controls the Jarate duration, not the damage
    It would have no headshots (even mini-crit ones)
    And it would be slightly faster reload speed
    how about that?

  • @MMmPPhhH
    @MMmPPhhH 4 місяці тому +1

    I think the sidney sleeper would be better if it was an automatic sniper rifle shooting every 0.5 secs dealing 25 the first bullet then dealing 34 every shot because of jarate mini crits and also every kill with the weapon will decrease jarate charge by 2 seconds

    It'd be nice to rework SS into something more casual. Like, make it a sniper rifle with mag and it doesn't have to touch the bolt each time it fires. it'd be somewhat of a long ranged revolver for sniper,that also debuffs the enemies. During the scoping tho,the bullets would be slowly combined into one powerful shot, that does apply jarate effect like the good old days of the weapon. In short,we get a semi automatic sniper rifle that is easier to use for new players, that shoots every 0.4 seconds,deals 25 damage, has 5 ammo in the "clip" before reloading,and charging mechanic is reworked into not just increasing the damage but shooting few bullets at the same time (fully charged damage on body shot would be 125,which prevents medics from dying from bodyshots) ,with jarate splash effect on hit. I think it has it's uses. You cover the enemy in jarate first,then finish it off with additional hits from the same gun,cause now it shoots way faster,and doesn't punish for misses as hard as default weapon.

  • @jackmack4181
    @jackmack4181 4 місяці тому

    When I play sniper, I play him less than a precision killer but like an opportunist killer.
    I rarely ever get headshots with my gun and getting body shots seems somehow more disrespectful, imagine a heavy fresh from spawn entering combat then suddenly is drenched in karate, he is overwhelmed with feelings of rage, fear, confusion and disrespect at the fact he wasn’t given the dignity of a quick death.
    In short “aim high but low is good enough”

  • @thirion1850
    @thirion1850 4 місяці тому

    I think the jarate should last longer, and it should be AOE. It's not overpowered because if the sniper has you in his crosshairs anyway, with any other rifle you're just dead. The reason the sleeper sucks right now is because the tradeoff is just not worth the effort. They could be covered in jarate for a whole cool 5 seconds, or they could be dead for 15. If it's going to be a specialist support rifle that maximizes helping your team over yourself, then it should lean into that aspect fully. Keep its max charge damage though, because countersniping snipers is actually another excellent method of team support.

    @karlbergman5678 4 місяці тому

    Yeah, it's design is counter-intuitive from the groud up. It rewards you when playing poorly and takes away reward when playing well. I'm thinking it might just be broken at it's core. Perhaps it can be reworked into a light class modyshooting menace, but I don't know if that would make a good weapon.

  • @thedarter
    @thedarter 4 місяці тому

    I pretty much only use the Sydney Sleeper if I ever play Sniper seriously.
    Not because I think it's better or anything, quite the opposite. I hate the other rifles (classic excluded) for being OP, so the only way for me to actually enjoy playing the class is to nerf myself. I want a fair fight so by god I'm gonna make it a fair fight, even if it makes me weaker!

  • @brog5606
    @brog5606 4 місяці тому

    I hate to say it, but the sniper would be more balanced if all of his rifles fired projectiles, not hitscan. They should still travel as fast as they do, but being able to just click on heads with no visual input from others isn't fun, the sniper should have to predict my movement trajectory and aim ahead of me. But that big of a change at this point is beyond question.

    There is probably no need to buff/change SS in any way. SS is not broken, other sniper rifles are. Insta 150 headshots are broken and should be nerfed in some way. And no, I'm not sniper hater, I actually enjoy playing as sniper, but when big killstreak hits, I feel bad for enemy team.
