The Bushwacka is a craftable melee weapon for the Sniper class. it is a long sharp blade with a serrated edge and gold handguard.
When swinging 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 or a friendly Buff Banner, or when a target previously hit with the Sydney Sleeper gets too close. On the other hand, the Sniper will have an additional 20% vulnerability to fire, making Pyros a more prominent adversary.
