Jarate or cleaner's carbine

[Gun-Ho Guy]

I need help choosing my sniper loadout and i cannot decide. Which is better? EDIT: After consideration and testing both out, i have decided that the Jarate is better.

What's your primary?

Depends on your other weapons. Both pair exceptionally well with the Bushwacka, imo.

jarate - if bushwaka / shiv
cleaners carbine - if huntsman or battle sniper

As others say, it depends on your primary, but while Jarate is probably better overall, the Carbine is also great with the Bushwacka, just as good as Jerotty, but if you are using it for the SMGness, just use Stock.

Why not both? *mexican music as I pull out my Sydney Sleeper*

That's why I'm looking for a tag for my strange sleeper. (Note, I more commonly use my strange stock sniper)

jarate , always.

Jarate

Cleaner's carbine's main value that I find is that a huntsman bodyshot deals 120 damage, and that'd leave 4/9 classes with 5 health.

If you're not going for that though, it's more of a decision between the stock SMG and jarate. A lot of people will stick strongly to jarate, but in all honesty if you can aim the difference is mostly just a personal choice (and if you can't aim jarate is better, but you probably shouldn't be a sniper if you can't aim).

Jarate for sure. It allows you to support your team other than headshots, and noscope when attacked, and bushwanka + jarate is killer for pyros, especially when you can bait them. The carbine is just too... well, I don't like it.

Headman's heatmaker.

Sorry for the late response.
Carbine is like the Winger imo.
It's not used to charge in and do damage, it's meant to finish off opponents.
If you land those shots and finish off someone with the carbine well, you can score mini-crits for 8 seconds. Maybe charge in with the bushwacka and OHKO most classes?
Jarate is always trusty, hit someone or a group of people with jarate, and free mini-crits.
I dunno, your choice.

Jarate has so many uses, no other Sniper seconday compares to it.

Cleaner's carbine with mini crits is slightly worse than normal smg. For most of the time, jarate is easily the best choice. If you are using huntsman or machina, smg might be a better choice.
