What is the BEST Sniper Primary in TF2?

Today I discuss all the Sniper Primary Weapons and which I think is the best! This is my first attempt at an info-graphic type video and I aim to learn and use this as an opportunity to make better ones in the future. I have waaaay more hours on the Sniper than I showed in the video but because I reset my hours a lot when I was younger, I sadly don't know the actual number. Despite that, my experience is still the same. Anyways, enjoy!

The most organized FatMagic has ever been

[drgumper]

Psychological damage isn't talked about enough. When applied effectively that person could end up throwing the game doing something stupid. Like b-lining for a sniper instead of capping the point.

[steambot]

Fat magic! Theres a cool trick with the heatmaker where you can get out of the scope right after a shot, so you can juke other snipers

[thomas]

Hey Fatmagic, been watching for a while! I think this new series is perfect, it's very entertaining and there's a lot you could do with it ( Best Demoman primary, best sniper secondary...). This also brings a new element to the channel which is a more informative video type rather than always more of a comedic type which is good (not to say your normal videos arent great lol). Keep it up!

[gonturan]

love how this starts out professional (because Snipers are professional) and then Fatmagic's jokes come out of nowhere and at some points blend in seamlessly with the professionalism

[primussucks]

I feel a lot more comfortable peeking corners with the classic, i'm not so great at sniper, but in most cases, i'd prefer to use the classic over any other rifle

[Keric]

The best Sniper primary just so happens to be the one that has you performing so well, that you're accused of (bad) aimbot gaming frequently. Those bloody haters just can't handle the fact that you're embracing the swell of Boss Baby gaming energies by using such powerful arms.

This video was way better than I expected when you talked about making it, and I expected it to be great, so I'd love to see more of this type of video!

[reagansido]

6:30 "fuck the huntsman"
That would be pretty painful ngl.

[rexvermis]

I actually really enjoy that you're doing a video like this rather than your usual casual pub shenanigans. Thanks for making great content on both ends. Excited for more videos like this in between your usual stuff.

[CAPTAINNNSENSE]

I actually really like this format of video, I can appreciate your takes on these weapons. I hope you make more like this!

[claudiotorres]

Beautiful video. Totally diferent from every other tierlist. Great for casual players.

[Collisto]

I often compare the Classic to the Huntsman. They don't do as much damage as stock, and make you move slower while charging, but give you better awareness of your surroundings and be able to flip around in an instant.

[dinkleberg]

I know everyone is saying it already but I’ve been watching for a long time and you should 100% make this a series! I love balancing your funny videos with your (a bit more) serious videos that still have your charm. You should do this for every class even if you don’t play them much because no one knows better than boss baby.

[TKsh]

Since every sniper rifle minus the Sydney Sleeper still does 150 damage, they're still pretty much viable and you just need to change depending of your playstyle. Bazaar Bargain is probably the most -broken- powerful since it's almost impossible to counter it with the faster charging.

[awerelia]

the bargain is just easily the best. once you get past the -50% charge time threshold (which isn't even that much of a downside like like the machina has, just wait to charge a shot before peeking) its exactly like stock, and from that point onward can get 2 and a half times stronger than stock for playing normally, hell even more aggressively once you get more kills since you charge so much faster, which means less risk in taking really fast, up close shots. and even if you do die, its not hard to get them back given you're playing sniper in the first place, unlike something like air strike or demoknight.

fun fact on that, the bazaar bargain, air strike, and eyelander can have their kills transferred to yourself or the enemy if you kill them or get killed by them if they're wielding one of them, and have any amount of kills on them above 0. for example killing a demoknight with 3 heads as an air strike soldier will get you 4 kills, since you get the three kills the demoknight did prior, plus for killing the demoknight.

[giggen]

Glad to see you make this video, gonna be interesting to see what kind of different content you come up with moving forward!

[aiden]

This video was great! Very well informed and collected list! Would love to see more content like this in the future like the secondary and melee list for sniper!

[Stanfordscienceman]

I think my favorite moment as huntsman sniper back when I could play was when I pinned a medic’s body to the wall and watched as their 20 health heavy desperately called medic at the corpse before dying

[RegalRoyalWasTaken]

I feel like the best way to make the classic more conventionally useful would be to make it so that when it nails a headshot and explodes an enemy, any enemies or buildings around it are damaged. Maybe something like a flat 75 health if you're right next to him and then it falls off a bit if you're further away until it just does nothing at all.
