Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.|sound=Sniperquote.wav}} A rugged and ready crack shot from the Australian outback, the '''Sniper''' prefers to pick his targets off from a distance, though he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty if the situation requires. Preferring to hide in elevated or hard-to-see spots, the Sniper can pick off slow moving classes like the [[Heavy]] with ease. The Sniper is also ideal for eliminating enemy [[Medic]]s, giving his team a chance to advance. While the Sniper tends to isolate himself from the frontlines, the [[Huntsman]] sees him move up the field, laying down suppressing volleys of arrows while his ancient and mysterious [[Jarate]] powers can increase damage dealt against his foes by himself and teammates alike. </noinclude><div style="clear: {{{clear|left}}}; margin-bottom: .5em; float: left; padding: .5em 0 .8em 1.4em; background: transparent; max-width: 20em;">__TOC__</div> <div style="clear:right;"></div> {{clr}} === Bio === <div style="background: #eeeeee;color:#333333;padding:8px;font-size:12px;width:1000px;"> <span style="float:right;">''[[Meet the Sniper]]''</span> ---- [[Image:Meetthesniper3.PNG|right|410px|[[Meet the Sniper]]]] '''Country of Origin:''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia Adelaide St., '''Australia'''] '''Job:''' Precision Elimination '''Motto:''' "Pink Cloud of Death" '''Emblem:''' [[Image:Sniperemblem.PNG|40px]] In his former life as a tracker of dangerous game in the unforgiving Australian outback, the Sniper would spend months by himself.

This gash could be seen on the cheek of the RED Sniper in the steam news picture for the Sniper vs Spy Update[http://tf2wiki.net/w/images/8/84/Snipervsspy.PNG] and the Jarate Update image[http://www.teamfortress.com/sniper_vs_spy/images/07_background.jpg], although it was not seen in the same picture as used in the [[Huntsman]] update[http://www.teamfortress.com/sniper_vs_spy/day01_english.htm]. The gash was later added to the Sniper in-game model itself.[http://tf2wiki.net/w/images/1/19/Sniper_cheek.png] *The Sniper's old Bio as it appears on his [[trading card]] reads: "Half rugged outdoorsman, half alien observer, this taciturn strip of beef jerky has spent the better part of his life alone in the bush, slow baking under the Australian sun." *The Sniper is the tallest class in the game. *The Sniper learned Jarate from a complete course endorsed by [[Saxton Hale]]. *The Sniper's kidneys are three times the size of a regular man's. *The Sniper lives in a camper van, a fact his opponents are all too keen to mock. *In the last three panels of ''The insult that made a Jarate master out of Sniper'', the Sniper's hat is worn backwards. *The Sniper's parents live on Adelaide Street, Australia (Red House on the left). *In [[Meet the Spy]], the [[BLU]] Sniper holds his rifle left-handed. *The Sniper only wears a left hand glove in the world view, but wears two in the player view. *The Sniper's voice actor, [[John Patrick Lowrie]], is married to [[Ellen McLain]], voice actress for the [[Administrator]], which was most probably poked fun at when Saxton Hale made sexual advances toward the administrator in the WAR update. *The Sniper originally fired the [[Huntsman]] right-handed. *The Sniper keeps a bobblehead of the [[Team Fortress Classic]] [[Civilian]] on the dashboard of his van. *The Sniper was the first class to recieve two unlockables for the same weapon slot, as both the [[Razorback]] and [[Jarate]] are [[secondary]] weapons. *The Sniper and [[Spy]] are the only classes that don't say "Boo" when they jeer. *The Sniper with the [[Engineer]] are the two only classes carrying one glove in world view. *According to one of the [[Soldier]]'s domination lines, the Sniper is married...to a kangaroo. Most likely it's little more than an insult directed at his nationality, but any truth to the matter has yet to be seen. *The Sniper and The [[Heavy]] are the only two classes useing the same gloves except that the Sniper only carries one glove and the heavy carries two. *The Sniper and The [[Medic]] are the only two classes wearing glasses. == See also == *[[Headshot]] *[[Meet the Sniper]] *[[Sniper match-ups]] *[[Sniper taunts]] *[[Sniper responses]] *[[Sniper voice commands]] *[[:Category:Sniper User Guides|Sniper User Guides]] *[[Sniper strategy]] *[[Sniper scripts]] *[[List of references (Sniper)]] ==External Links== *[http://www.teamfortress.com/spyupdate/day01_english.htm The Sniper Update] *[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2391 TF2 Official Blog- A sneak preview of the next class update!] *[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2477 TF2 Official Blog- You better hold onto your head, mate] *[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2528 TF2 Official Blog- Sniper vs. Spy Update, Day 7] *[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2531 TF2 Official Blog- The Sniper vs. Spy Update] {{Class_Nav}} {{Sniper Nav}} [[Category:Snipers]] {{Languages|Sniper}}
