The '''Bushwacka''' is an unlockable, community-made weapon added in the [[Polycount Update]] that replaces the [[Sniper]]'s [[Kukri]]. Carrying it makes the Sniper more vulnerable to fire, taking 20% more damage. On the other hand, if the weapon is swung and would normally do a [[Mini-Crit]], it will instead do a full-blown [[Critical hit]]. This makes it deadly when paired with [[Jarate]] or a friendly [[Buff Banner]]. Also handy if a target you have shot with the [[Sydney Sleeper]] gets too close.

Now this is a knife!
The Sniper

The Bushwacka is a community-created melee weapon for the Sniper. It is an enormous Bowie knife with a serrated spine, a small hole near the back of the blade, and a wooden handle with brass pommel and guard.

When attacking with this weapon in a situation where it would normally deliver a mini-crit, such as against a Jarate-sodden foe or when buffed via the Buff Banner, it instead performs a critical hit. On the other hand, this weapon cannot deal random critical hits and the Sniper has an additional 20% damage vulnerability to all sources while the weapon is active.

The kill icon for the Bushwacka was contributed by Psyke .
