In addition, the Huntsman can headshot enemies at any charge and any range, dealing 150 damage uncharged and 360 damage fully charged. The headshot hitbox is different from that of the [[Sniper Rifle]] and [[Hunting Revolver]], meaning that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RjDM6-nLxc headshots can succeed or fail in non-intuitive ways]. The user can also cancel the charge by pressing the alternative fire key, causing the Sniper to lower his bow, not firing his arrow, and delay his next shot. Switching weapons will also cancel the charge without firing the arrow. If the user charges for more than five seconds, their charge meter will turn red, and their current shot will become extremely inaccurate when fired.

The Huntsman arrow can be lit on fire by a friendly [[Pyro]]'s [[Flame Thrower]], certain map geometry like the torches on [[DeGroot Keep]], or if it travels through the flames of either an allied or enemy Pyro. Impacted enemies will suffer [[afterburn]], lasting for 10 seconds and dealing 3 damage every 0.5 seconds for a total of 60 damage. Going underwater will extinguish the burning arrow, and enemies that are underwater will not suffer afterburn at all. In any case, the friendly Pyro will not receive assist credit for the kill, and the Sniper will receive full credit.

The Huntsman arrow can be lit on fire by a friendly [[Pyro]]'s [[Flame Thrower]], certain map geometry (those with [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Trigger_ignite_arrows trigger_ignite_arrows] triggers) like the torches on [[DeGroot Keep]], or if it travels through the flames of either an allied or enemy Pyro. Impacted enemies will suffer [[afterburn]], lasting for 10 seconds and dealing 3 damage every 0.5 seconds for a total of 60 damage. Going underwater will extinguish the burning arrow, and enemies that are underwater will not suffer afterburn at all. In any case, the friendly Pyro will not receive assist credit for the kill, and the Sniper will receive full credit.

The Huntsman has the Arrow Stab kill taunt, in which the Sniper will twirl an arrow with his hand, stab it into the first enemy in front of his crosshair (vertically and horizontally), then pull it out. Doing this will stun the enemy (including invulnerable enemies) and deal 1 damage on the stab, then deal 500 damage to them on the pullout. If the arrow is on fire, it will set the enemy on fire. The pullout and stab are separate actions, meaning an enemy can get stunned without dying, or die without being stunned. The taunt effect extends significantly beyond the animation's apparent range. The user's crosshair position influences where the taunt will stab, meaning they can hit an enemy above or below them, even though the animation always faces forwards. The taunt will not penetrate multiple enemies, and will not damage buildings. It also cannot deal [[critical]] hits, but it can deal mini-crits. Unlike in Team Fortress 2, taunting with an arrow charged will fire the arrow before taunting.

* Fixed Huntsman not respecting {{code|mod_sniper_zoom_while_jumping}} value

* Fixed burning arrows not getting extinguished underwater

* Reworked hit detection

:* Instead of pinning to the nearest hitbox, the arrow will check in a radius around its path to determine a headshot

:* This hit detection uses a new projectile: {{code|tf2c_projectile_arrow}}

* Updated the drawing animation to sync with the charge meter
