The Walkabout was intended to be the primary unlockable weapon for the Sniper. The Walkabout would have allowed the Sniper to walk at normal speed while scoped, with the downsides being reduced damage dealt and no zooming or charging. It was replaced by the Huntsman because the development team thought it made the Sniper function too similarly to players wielding sniper rifles in the Template:W series of games.

Demonstration

This is a Walkabout example, coded by The GoldenMachineGun's community.

  • The name of the weapon is derived from a rite of passage, of the same name, in aboriginal culture.
