Special thanks to:
For fixing the script!
Nobody says that you have to make miracles like headshoting a Giant Scout to be a good Sniper.
The reason why he gained his bad reputation is because he’s one of the classes that can either do his job right or pretty much don’t do anything at all. The fact that he’s a primary pick of most of unskilled players don’t help to improve a stereotype about a Sniper on MvM.
If you can’t land many headshots but still want to play MvM,
Do NOT play on advanced maps or above. People will want you to change your class or start a votekick as soon as they will notice that you can’t do your job good enough for those missions.
Take a practice on easier maps.
On Advanced and Expert Mann Up maps there’s a big chance that you’ll get kicked if you have less than 5 tours finished and pick a Sniper. Thanks to that “every Sniper is bad” stereotype, there’s not a lot that can be done about it, even if you appear to have a right loadout and upgrades. I can only recommend to finish at least those 5 tours as a different class and then try your luck as a Sniper.
Speaking of loadout and upgrades:
Heatmaker, Machina and default Sniper Rifle are the best choices.
Do NOT use Sydney Sleeper. Its mini-crits can be easily replaced by a Jarate, Scout’s mark and Soldier’s Buff Banner. Sniper's full crit on headshot obviously deals more dmg.
Secondary weapon – Jarate. That’s always an extra mini-crit and slow on the enemies if necessary.
Mele – Doesn’t matter much, since there’s a rare opportunity to use it. I personally use Bushwacka, because it makes a great combo with a Buff Banner against tanks.
Upgrades: Sniper’s job is to take cover and kill enemies from a distance, so any resistances and any health-regens aren’t most important (the only real thing that might be a threat to him are robo-spies).
Sniper’s primary weapon is a priority and it’s the best to start a game from an explosive headshot upgrade.

why? because you need to land consistent headshots in order to make it worth it?

Exactly. And if someone is confident enough with his headshots, why not use Machina or Heatmaker instead. It's a much better deal for every kind of a player

Hey is the "Sydney Sleeper" a good weapon? It can coat robots in Jarate with a single shot making them take mini-crits from far away

Menaria In reply to RaingThunder [2017-05-21 06:03:27 +0000 UTC]
Nah, there's no need to trade the extremely efficient headshot crits for jarate, that you can have equiped as secondary anyway. Also there's scout's fan o war and medic's crits. Better go for a raw damage.

Not really. The lack of scope makes your job only insanely difficult in the mess that happens in mvm anyway. There's no sense to make your job even harder, especially when Sniper rifles has some useful upgrades that huntsman doesn't.

huntsman is only good in 2 maps, rottenburg and bigrock, with max firing speed and projectile penetration you can hit a ton of robots and deal a ton of damage in teh choke points on the respective map, but other then that it is inforior to every other sniper weapon.

Menaria In reply to horserax [2015-06-26 08:50:27 +0000 UTC]
No need for Sleeper's mini-crit when you can have Jarate, fan o'war and Soldier's buff banner. Trade it for massive headshot crits.
The most effective melee is bushwacka, since it can bring quite a ruin to tanks when mixed with Soldier's buff banner. The +20% taken from fire damage isn't much of a big deal, since Sniper rarely gets to deal with it. Outside of that, there's no terrible choice of a melee weapon a Sniper would make. It's all "meh".

even though i do believe the sniper does contribute the least amount to pretty much any team, i can't ignore how good it is to have at least 1 sniper on mvm. giant robos and sentry busters can be a huge pain and a good sniper can easily take them down. and jarate is great for crowds of enemies.

Menaria In reply to thelakotanoid1 [2015-03-09 05:36:54 +0000 UTC]
sniper deals the biggest amount of damage from all the classes, he kills all uber medic with a single shot, he takes down giant quick fix medics in five headshots. also you never ever should focus sentry busters. its engineers job.

thelakotanoid1 In reply to Menaria [2015-03-09 05:50:02 +0000 UTC]
true, as a engie i can normally deal with busters very easly. but a problem with sniper is that unlike most classes, is that he's not very good with crowd control. he's one of the few that can only effectively take down one enemy at a time (dont get me wrong, that's still good against giant robos) while most other classes can deal with crowd control pretty well, like the pyro, engie, heavy, soldier, demo, and even medic. and at the same time he cant headshot a tank and in most rounds you're dealing with allot more normal-sized robots than giant ones. (remember i said he contributes the least, but is usually still good to have on a team, as long as it's only one)

You must be forgetting about Explosive headshot.
Sniper is the most effective crowd control in MvM mode.
About tank: Bushwacka + Buff banner = 300dmg per second on tank.

Reminds me of an amazing sniper who managed to consistently out damage a Demoman, who was almost vote kicked because of a heavy being an utter twat, and terrible at MvM as well, But seeing a group of 10-15 robo-medics turn to scrap in a split second with one headshot is a sight to behold. Too bad he timed out halfway through and we never saw him again.

Ah! That there lad was a juggernaut. Goliator is much bigger and much more firepower and redbots are cyborgs. (they are not in game but if they would they would be controlled by humans. And they are faster and stronger than other robots)

While it is a good loadout for mvm, I didn't play much with the heatmaker.
Overall, I go for the machina, which in my opinion is better in mvm.
