Kukri

“

A little of the ol' 'chop-chop'! Click to listen — The Sniper

”

The Kukri is the melee weapon for the Sniper class. It is essentially a Kukri, namely a heavy Nepalese Knife.

Snipers proficient with this weapon will be able to take down Spies aiming to catch a player offguard, as well as most other classes that may attempt to attack at close range.

The Critical hit animation of the Kukri is a double handed overhead swing, similar to the Pyro's normal melee attack and the Eyelander's Critical swing.
