The '''Walkabout''' was intended to be the [[primary]] unlockable weapon for the [[Sniper]]. The Walkabout would have allowed the Sniper to walk at normal speed while scoped, with the downsides being reduced damage dealt and no zooming or charging. It was replaced by the [[Huntsman]] because the development team thought it made the Sniper function too similarly to players wielding {{botignore|sniper rifles}} in the {{W|Counter-Strike|Counter-Strike}} series of games.
