weapon idea for sniper

ive had this idea written down in a notepad for a while and intended on making it and submitting it to the workshop but idk how to do any of that and forgot, so i figured i would share the idea and if someone else wants to steal it and take credit i could care less, it will probably be downvoted anyway

sniper secondary (or possibly melee alternative) which is a Boomerang
it would act similar to the flying guillotine, but
+ on hit, it "returns" and the cooldown is refreshed
- if you miss, you have to wait for the cooldown obviously

i was also thinking of ideas like minicrit headshots, or some kind of DoT effect like a slow or applying jarate

and this would clearly be for fun purposes only, i.e. casual

feedback?

free spam damage that recharges every 10s is never popular in the comp scene, especially if it does minicrits/other shit

Finniganah yeah, got close to someone and have infinite dmg

theoretically infinite damage and practically infinite damage are 2 different things. He hasn't even suggested a damage model. If it does 2 damage per hit its still infinite damage if you hit your shot but it's also ass

change the classic to a railgun

80 dmg flat, scoped or not

no headshots

leaves a trace in the map for a few milliseconds

its just an idea to toy with, i just wanted to see sniper have some kind of relevant boomerang instead of countless reskins of the Huntsman and regular sniper. i purposely left out things like dmg because its just an idea and again not meant for a comp setting.

if you were close and could infinitely spam it, i imagine it having the same effective dps as holding left click with your melee out

Would actually be insanely good on a competent sniper

Could make it only do decent damage if you hit someone at a longer range, similar to how the Crossbow works, and have it not really do much at close range/make the SMG a better alternative at close range to avoid the 'infinite damage' theory

reverse falloff then? that sounds like a plausible balance. not like anything like it will ever get implemented, but....

I'd rather take 80 dmg bodyshots than get instant killed when peeking a choke point

if the boomerang made a wide curveball-like swing to the right that made it harder to line up throws with, it might be an interesting toy to use in a pub a couple of times, before eventually switching back to the backpack

the arc could also deter you from trying to put down spam damage in a choke because it might just hit the walls and do 0, but i feel like the allure of having a burst damage projectile + the fact that you're a sniper in a choke point would make the combo scout offclassing to sniper a necessity when holding second, which sounds kinda lame

What if sniper had a sniper rifle without a scope that had 6 shots and instead of a long shot cooldown it had an accuracy penalty when trying to fire rapidly and headshots still crit and instead of a rifle it was kinda pistol shaped

wtf are yall on about a sniper rifle that cant do more than 80 dmg is completely awful and would never be used. that's actually worse than current classic

if the recharge is the same as the q3 rail (i think its like 1.5 seconds) or something like that i imagine it would be pretty decent. being able to sit at rollout or 3 door on a process last push while being able to deal consistent 80 damage shots sounds pretty nutty, definitely a lot more consistent, and maybe even better, than stock

imo they should revert sydney sleeper to it's original form (remove the dumb headshot minicrit thing), shorten the duration of the jarate, and just give it the 15% bodyshot damage that the machina has
remove the bodyshot damage on the machina and make it penetrate on any % charge
both weapons are slightly less aids to play against

why in the world would u give up headshots for an extra 30 dmg. just click their heads man.

standing in rollout and clicking heads on a process last push is really strong.

I can't believe people are ok with the idea of a sniper constantly spamming 80 dmg bodyshots, that's way worse than instakill headshots. He has to wait way longer between shots, stand almost still and hit a way smaller hitbox instead of peeking for half a second and taking more than half health off a scout.

thats what im saying, it sounds so much better and annoying than stock. its just like having a scout that can meat shot you from across the map every 1.5 seconds

ILLEGALELEPHANTGUNif you were close and could infinitely spam it, i imagine it having the same effective dps as holding left click with your melee out

it wouldnt be spammable that fast because it is a projectile. there would probably be a reequip animation upon retrieving it.
