Well, I didn't see this coming.

Yeah I just noticed that. A bow sounds lame on paper but maybe it's good in game.

I'm guessing that it'll shoot faster, but be weaker than the rifle itself, and slow down whoever it hits.

so it'll take about 2 fully charged headshots to down a heavy

Seems like a very good choice for people good at aiming

Just one more month, I'll be home in a month...

So this is basically a Natascha for Snipers? Pretty cool, more eager to see what their other upgrades will be. Can their melee weapon be anything other than a boomerang or didjeridoo? WILL THE LAW OF STEREOTYPES ALLOW IT?

How is it a natasha for snipers ?

It's only a bow, with no scope that charges faster.

And that also pins enemies to wall when they are killed.

And leave arrows on them.

But if a spy is shot and goes invisible, will the arrow stay visible ?

Well Pounce was saying he reckons it will be weaker than the rifle but slow them down. It only says it pins dead enemies to the wall and that wounded enemies just have an arrow stuck in them.

The image at the bottom with all the dead people and the arrows is awesome.

And God I hope the SMG sidegrade will be a koala.

Makes me want the Xbox update even more/wish I got the game on PC.

what
WHAT
Didn't see that coming. Unlockable weapons are usually slightly modified versions of originals...

I'm all giddy now.

I said I think

It said it pins enemies down so I just assumed that it would slow down whatever it hits

Even if it doesn't, this thing is going to be deadly in the hands of anyone that can aim.

Yeah it should also mix up the position of Snipers, which is a good thing and probably just what they intend. I'm just wondering whether the arrow will arc in the air or just travel straight like a bullet.

does this replace the sniper rifle or the other gun?

It will replace the sniper rifle seeing as how it mentions a charge power-shot

That was fast. I wasn't expecting this for another month or 2.

Damn

Hopefully it won't take a long ass time to get another arrow after shooting one.

Can't wait to see 10 snipers in one game :(

It says it recharges in 1 second compared to the rifle's 5 seconds so it'll redraw another arrow instantly, or in less than 1 second.

Same here, I feel it's too soon to mention the next update. Announcing it a month or two later would have been more appropriate, but oh well, they've mentioned it now. I am looking forward to what the Sniper update will have along with the Huntsman.

I never play sniper, but this looks pretty sweet.

Arrows are more close-range than sniper rifles.Will this be good for long range fire?

hl2 crossbow put into tf2?

Hell yeah ^_^ I love sniping in games but I never liked the rifle in TF2 for some reason, this should be fantastic though. Can't wait to see what else there is.. the SMG isn't very good in my opinion, the blade is pretty good but we'll see what they do with that :P

That just means you can pyro rush them. :)

He should be able to use his machete as an arrow.

The jar of piss sounded better then that.

I still want Jarate as a unlockable weapon.

So, Valve is trying to make all the Snipers go into close range combat?

Like hell that will work. Almost every TF2 sniper runs like hell the moment an engineer gets within two feet of his shotgun range.

I don't, even if a pyro rushes me I will go kukri on his ass.

No, the Huntsman doesn't stun. It pins dead/dying players - Robin Walker
