Now this is a knife! Click to listen — The Sniper on oversized Bowie knives

”

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 gold 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 will instead perform a critical hit. On the other hand, this weapon cannot deal random critical hits and the Sniper will have an additional 20% damage vulnerability to all sources while the weapon is active.

The kill icon for the Bushwacka was contributed by Psyke .

• A bushwacker is a term that refers to someone who spends a long time in "the bush". The bush refers to rural, undeveloped land or country areas, especially in Australia and New Zealand, the Sniper's homeland(s).
