The Sniper after activating his crikey bar

The Cleaner's Carbine is a community-created secondary weapon for the Sniper. It is a small, black submachine gun with a large suppressor, a top-mounted charging handle, iron sights, and a folded in folding skeletal stock.

The Cleaner's Carbine features a "CRIKEY" bar which can be filled by dealing 100 points of damage with the weapon. Once "CRIKEY" is full, secondary fire key (default key: MOUSE2) can be pressed whilst the Cleaner's Carbine is the active weapon to activate the ability. This causes the weapon to be charged with 8 seconds of guaranteed mini-crits, which is also applied to all other equipped weapons.

As a downside to this ability, the Cleaner's Carbine has a magazine capacity 20% smaller than that of the SMG (20 rounds) and a 25% slower firing speed, and it is incapable of delivering random critical hits.

The Cleaner's Carbine's suppressor gives it a quieter firing sound.

The Cleaner's Carbine was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Bugs

Trivia

  • The weapon's name is a reference to the movie Léon: The Professional, the main character of which refers to himself as a 'cleaner' instead of an assassin.
