The Huntsman shoots a large arrow projectile that travels through the air, impacting the first enemy it comes into contact with. While holding down the primary fire button, the arrow can be charged for up to one second, significantly increasing its damage and velocity. While charging, the Sniper is slowed and he cannot jump, but will still charge and can be fired in midair or [[water|underwater]]. The arrows deal 50 damage uncharged and 120 damage at maximum charge. | The Huntsman shoots a large arrow projectile that travels through the air, impacting the first enemy it comes into contact with.

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 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. | In addition, the Huntsman can headshot enemies at any charge and any range, dealing 150 damage uncharged and 360 damage fully charged.

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 like the torches on [[DeGroot Keep]], or if it travels through the flames of either an allied or enemy Pyro.
