Can Sydney Sleeper explosive headshot?

[Vynira Snowy]

If I get an Explosive Headshot upgrade on a Sydney Sleeper will it work?

[TNT]

Yes, and since Gun Mettle, the explosive headshot jarates all the bots affected, not just the original headshot.

BUT you get piss poor damage on the headshot victim. so your single target damage is trash.

It has it uses though.

Have you considered maybe just trying it and seeing if it works?

The answer is yes, by the way.

- Sydney sleeper can cause explosive headshot any given time while zoomed in.
- Bug: You can cause a resonance cascade, causing multiple explosive headshots at once, thus dealing massive damage
- Bug: You can trigger an explosive headshot on a ubered/invicible target.

Sniper isn't really a single target class in MvM, so I never really see that as a downside. If anything it just makes things easy for Heavy, the main single target DPS class.

IMO Pyro is a better DPS class but that's just me.

The only Pyro weapon that can out-DPS a Heavy over a sustained period of time on single targets is the Backburner, and that requires someone drawing aggro. Otherwise, Heavy is better for pure DPS against single targets.

Just because he isn't the best at single targets, doesn't mean what he does is anything to sneeze at. Single target damage is important when you are the team's most reliable person to kill the giant meds and it makes a difference when the team heavily leans on you for all bot damage, not just crowds. I think it shines in places like boneshaker wave 1, broken parts wave 5. disintegration wave 1 and mannslaughter wave 1.

I personally don't like switching out rifles mid mission, I would do it for wave 1 though because it's similar to how I played even before refund (buy back upgrades).

Pyro has his limitations. Some missions definitely favour him damage wise if the team is cooperative, but he lacks range and cannot deal with medics cleanly. They shine in different areas.
