No, you only need to charge for 1 second(full sniper charge is 3.3 seconds).
And it would still be pretty drat good even then. 50% damage vulnerability debuff at range is insanely good.

I've never understood this. You need to sit in one spot while it charges up, then you need to hit something that makes the debuff worthwhile, otherwise whatever minicrits the target would have killed it anyway. Then you need to hope someone else will hit them enough times for minicrits to be useful and they die. Instead of that, you could just get your stock sniper, scope in, do a quick 150 damage and jobs done.

I think it's really good to insult people with though. Name it something obnoxious and shoot piss until they die.

I think a few people in this thread tend to vastly over estimate how useful the Sleeper is and how much rage it generates when you kill someone with it.

Its just not the same since they got rid of the croc-o-style set bonus :(

that bonus used to keep me alive on that one sniper map they always ran on 2f2f, with like, two paintings across a giant canyon.

i liked wearing that itemset on that map.

The flare gun map that people insisted on sniping for some reason and that never ended because someone always went AFK in a building and was unkillable.

The darwin's danger shield's bullet resistance does a similar thing -- it makes you able to survive snap headshots.

Not sure why Viaduct doesn't have any but there are only 9 drops to get on Mann Manor, shouldn't take too long without idling.

The babyface blaster fits snugly in my own personal category of 'This weapon is a joke to not be taken seriously - UNTIL IT EXISTS IN THE HANDS OF A COMPETENT PLAYER.'

I see one coming, and I smirk and usually paste the sucker, but now and then.... Yuck. You find someone who has honed their skills to a fine point. :argh:

BFB exists so that occasionally on randomizer servers you get a spy zooming around at high speed. Or, occasionally a heavy with BFB and something deadly like a sticky launcher.

Assuming you hop on a server that's just doing presents and not allowing playing since the presents are spread all over the place. That's one thing that's improved over the years, less presents off in random locations that you can't easily get to if there's an actual TF2 game going on.

We were dicking around in a number of other source engine games this weekend, and there is a surprising amount of skill bleedover. Somehow topscored one of the games of Left4Dead2 despite never playing it before because the melee is so similar, and I think we finished a few different Portal 2 Co-op puzzles using unintended solutions accessible with airstrafing :v:
