The Sniper on the Bushwacka

The Bushwacka is a 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 trim.

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, a friendly Buff Banner, or when a target previously hit with the Sydney Sleeper or Fan O'War gets too close and even on enemies under the influence of the Crit-a-Cola or the Buffalo Steak Sandvich. On the other hand, the Sniper will have an additional 20% vulnerability to fire, making the Pyro a deadlier adversary than before.
