TF2 Sniper Gets Piss Jars, Achievements

21 May 2009 at 10:49:11 by Tim McDonald

The next unlockable for Team Fortress 2's Sniper has been announced.

In what's really truly probably maybe the final update announced before the Sniper vs Spy pack is released, the Sniper has become a master of Jarate, better described as "Jar-based karate." Or "pissing in a jar and throwing it at people," if you're not a fan of brevity.

"But what will that do?" you cry. "Does the Sniper perhaps wee napalm?" No, but any enemies splashed take 35% more damage for a time, and it shorts out the cloaking devices of enemy spies. If you want to pee on your friends, then throwing one of these jars at them will extinguish any flames on them.

And then, naturally, come the requisite 35 achievements:

1. Australian Rules
2. Be Efficient
3. Be Polite
4. Beaux and Arrows
5. Consolation Prize
6. Dead Reckoning
7. De-sentry-lized
8. Dropped Dead
9. Enemy at the Gate
10. Friendship is Golden
11. Have a Plan
12. Jarate Chop
13. Jarring Transition
14. Jumper Stumper
15. Kill Everyone You Meet
16. Kook the Spook
17. My Brilliant Career
18. Not a Crazed Gunman, Dad
19. Number One Assistant
20. Parting Shot
21. Pincushion
22. Rain on Their Parade
23. Robbin' Hood
24. Rode Hard, Put Away Wet
25. Saturation Bombing
26. Self-destruct Sequence
27. Shafted
28. Shock Treatment
29. Shoot the Breeze
30. Socket to Him
31. The Last Wave
32. Triple Prey
33. Trust Your Feelings
34. Uberectomy
35. William Tell Overkill

No word on how to obtain them, but we're sure you can take a few educated guesses.

This might be the last announcement before the pack's release. As for everything else included, we've heard that the Sniper is getting a Huntsman longbow and a Razorback backstab protector, the Spy is getting some new Spy watches to aid his stealth and the Ambassador handgun to impact enemy health (and, of course, achievements) and one new game mode and two new maps will be added. Whew.
