The Sniper on perfect accuracy

The Bazaar Bargain is a primary weapon for the Sniper. It will be released with the Über Update.

The Bazaar Bargain has a base charge rate penalty of -20. Successfully scoring a headshot increases the charge rate of the next shot of the weapon. On the other hand, taking body shots lengthens the charge time, and missing a shot completely clears the bonus. The bonus caps out at +30, after 5 consecutive headshots.

This item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Sniper Rifle 1.
