The Sniper on the Bushwacka

The Bushwacka is a community-made weapon for the Sniper that occupies the melee slot. It is an enormous Template:W with a serrated spine, a small hole near the back of the blade and a wooden handle with gold pommel and guard.

When attacking with this weapon in a situation where it would normally deliver a mini-crit, it will instead do a full-blown critical hit. This makes it devastating when paired with Jarate, a friendly Buff Banner, or when a target previously hit with the Sydney Sleeper, the Fan O'War, or under the influence of the Crit-a-Cola or Buffalo Steak Sandvich gets too close. On the other hand, the Sniper will have an additional 20% vulnerability to fire, making the Pyro a deadlier adversary than before.

The kill icon for the Bushwacka was contributed by HyenaDip.
