“

For over a thousand years, this high quality scimitar has been held by the greatest sultans and the mightiest caliphs. It has been used to topple empires, conquer continents and cause untold havoc all over the world. — Shahanshah publicity blurb

”

The Shahanshah (/ˈʃɑːhɑːnʃɑː/ shah-han-shah) is a community-created melee weapon for the Sniper. It is a yatagan with a leather hilt that is reinforced by dull golden bindings and a gold hand guard.

This weapon rewards players at the cost of risk. When the player's health is equal to or above 50% of the maximum, the Shahanshah deals 25% less damage than the Kukri. However, should the player have less than 50% of their max health, the weapon deals 25% more damage.

The Shahanshah was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Sniper Club 1.
