Bushwacka

“

Let's have a go, ya mug! Click to listen — The Sniper

”

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.

Notes

• Unlike most of the other Polycount items, the Bushwacka doesn't have a unique kill icon. It uses the Tribalman's Shiv kill icon.
• The Bushwaka is a possible reference to the knife used in Crocodile Dundee's famous "Is That a Knife?" scene, as it looks roughly similar.
• The Bushwacka appears to resemble a Bowie Knife
