</div>The first unlockable weapon for the upcoming Sniper update was revealed by Valve today. Called "The Huntsman" the bow and arrow replaces the Sniper's beloved sniper rifle.
This is going to be amazing just for the whole "arrow through the head" aspect of the weapon. Valve promises, by way of a short press release, that the Sniper update will include new achievements, new unlockable weapons, and new maps. Naturally, the update is going to be free to all PC owners of Team Fortress 2.
They also say that the release for the update will arrive in the upcoming days, though no specific date was set.

Any experienced sniper will tell you how irritating it is when your targets keep moving around. The question is how to stop these cheaters from wind-sprinting around like they own the place. And the answer is to pin them to a wall. How? With arrows!
"Now, hold on," you might be thinking. "I'm strong, but no one could throw an arrow that hard." Introducing the Huntsman longbow, which solves that age-old throwing problem.
"Now, hold on," you keep saying. "Aren't bows and arrows primitive and harmless?" Why don't you ask the dinosaurs? Except you can't, because the cavemen bow and arrowed them to death. One headshot from the Huntsman can mean an instant crit, in addition to a bolt-riddled corpse hanging from a wall that's gruesome and funny.
And even if you don't kill them, they'll carry around a certain arrow-shaped something as a living testament to your awesome archery skills and their frankly unawesome dodging skills. Comes with 18 arrows and a one-second charge for full power shots.
