The Sniper

The Darwin's Danger Shield is a craftable secondary item for the Sniper class. It appears as a crocodile hide, complete with tail, strung to a wooden frame. A bird skull is tied to the body strap.

Similar to the Razorback, Darwin's Danger Shield is a passive item that is worn as a shield protecting the back. It provides an additional 25 max health to the Sniper wearing it. It does not, however, protect the player from backstabs.

Trivia

Original design of the shield with legs.

Current design of the shield without legs.
  • The name of the weapon may be a reference to a multitude of things. Firstly, Darwin may refer to the capital of the Northern Territory in Australia, the Sniper's home country. Crocodiles are also often found around Darwin. On the other hand, Darwin may refer to Charles Darwin, who is known for proposing the scientific theory of natural selection.
  • This item might come from the same crocodile as Ol' Snaggletooth or the Trophy Belt.
  • The first version of the shield had jiggleboned legs, plus had the crocodile skin stretched over a full shield instead of being tanned on a streching board, but these were removed in the creation process.[1]
  • The Darwin's Danger Shield's straps currently cover any badges currently worn (Mercenary, Soldier of Fortune, Grizzled Veteran, Primeval Warrior, Polycount Pin, and the Dueling Mini-Game badges).
