The Bushwacka is a craftable melee weapon for the Sniper class. It is a long sharp blade with a serrated spine and gold handguard.
When attacking with 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 deadly adversary.

Trivia
- Bushwhacking was a form of guerrilla warfare common during the American Revolutionary War, American Civil War and other conflicts in which there are large areas of contested land and few governmental resources to control these tracts.
- To "Bushwhack" someone is also a slang term that means to kill them. In addition, the "a" in the name was probably added to make it sound like the Sniper himself is saying it, rather than an "er."
- The Bushwacka performs a Crit animation even when striking a friendly player covered in Jarate.
