* The Bushwacka is a possible reference to the knife used in Crocodile Dundee's famous [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01NHcTM5IA4 "This is a knife!"] scene, as it looks roughly similar.
 
−
* The Bushwacka appears to resemble a [[Wikipedia:Bowie knife|Bowie Knife]].
 
−
* Due to the Sniper's Australian background, the weapon is phonetically spelt to reflect his accent. This phenomenon is known as a non-rhotic pronunciation.
 
−
*When used in conjunction with a [[Buff Banner]], this weapon becomes a 195 damage-per-hit wonder.
 
−
*The Bushwacka seems to Crit when it hits any player covered in Jarate, including teammates.
 
−
*A possible reason that the crafting recipe requires the Eyelander over the Tribalman's Shiv may be because the Shiv is a community created weapon, whereas all other recipes to craft weapons from the Polycount update require Valve weapons.

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 .
