The Sniper on his old weapon

The Club is a scrapped melee weapon for the Sniper. It is a damaged fishing club with a splintered portion near the tip, and a lanyard at the end of its handle. It was originally the Sniper's default melee weapon and was eventually replaced by the Kukri. Its textures appear to be lower quality, mapped incorrectly, and lacking all detail besides ambient occlusion, suggesting that the weapon was likely scrapped early into development. The game's code still refers to the Kukri as a 'club'.
