The Bushwacka is a community-created melee weapon for the Sniper. It is an enormous Template:W 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% vulnerability to fire, making the Pyro a deadlier adversary than before.
The kill icon for the Bushwacka was contributed by Template:Steam profile link.
