Lamedonyx Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 If you use Jarate, Bushwaka : Either you hit with the jarate, and you get 195 crits, or you don't hit with Jarate, and... Still a 195 crit If you don't use Jarate, Tribman's Shiw, since the bleed can replace the Jarate to an extent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queyh Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 bushwacka Only if you're also using Jarate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadscope Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Cleaners carbine + bushwhacka, it's ridiculous considering you get 8 secs of mini crits on an smg of some sort which can transfer to mini crits on a sniper rifle or huntsman for more severe meat shots or go all out channel your inner Australian demon and use 8 secs of bushwhacka crits on ALL targets, not just those coated in your body fluids (jarate).

Scott Bakula Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I use jarate, but I'm very paranoid a pyro is gonna come an burn me :c If a pyro gets close enough to burn you, that extra 20% resistance isn't going to do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeZie hc™ Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I use the pan because i think the bushwaka is ridiculous it should not be able to random crit AND jarate crit. needs a nerf 2muchcrit4me. Before i used the pan i used the shiv though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddingkip Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Don't melee as sniper, it's very rarely any use at all. Run away to a soldier/demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistolvania Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I've played like 6 full seasons of highlander sniper, so that will probably color my views, but how I see it: -You don't need Jarate to extinguish yourself. If you're close enough for a pyro to get you, your positioning is bad. -Jarate + bushwacka is nice if the people you are playing against isn't that good. However, this leaves you vulnerable to backstabs. Anyone that knows what they're doing will kill you before you manage to soak and get close enough to melee them though. -Kukri does solid damage without any exceptions if you find yourself needing to use melee. My sniper loadout is: normal rifle, razorback, kukri. Normal rifle is the best, Razorback keeps spies of you and kukri is the all-around most solid melee damage. I guess pan is also an option, but too loud for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander is diffrent from vanilla tf2 You can use anything that you think you do well with, razorback is nice, though SMG is very good aswell, meelee on sniper is actually depending on what secondary you use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noscopes / bodyshots / headshots are more reliable, fast damage. Not to mention stopping power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but smg while running after an enemy, and then hit them with your knife(I use the shiv, so it's basically a kill, if they don't kill me first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then catching up with them in order to melee them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
