The '''Fishwhacker''' is an alternative melee weapon for the [[Sniper]]. It's an old wooden fish priest, splintered at the top, fitted with a leather grip and wrist belt.
The '''Fishwhacker''' is an alternative melee weapon for the [[Sniper]]. It's an old wooden fish priest, splintered at the top, fitted with a leather grip and wrist belt.


The Fishwhacker's attributes are the same as the [[Kukri]], with the added benefit of dealing 2 seconds of [[bleed]] on hit enemies. As the initial 4 damage of bleed is always applied on the first hit, this means the Fishwhacker deals at least 69 damage initially and 81 damage in total. In addition, the Fishwhacker will deal guaranteed [[Critical hit|critical hits]] upon bleeding enemies, comboing with itself. This critical hit does not affect the damage of the bleed. As a penalty, missing a swing while outside the melee range of an enemy will result in the user being Marked For Death (with a skull above their head) for 3 seconds, turning all damage received into [[mini-crit]] damage. The Fishwhacker also cannot randomly crit.
Compared to the [[Kukri]], the Fishwhacker has a 45% damage penalty, dealing 35 damage per swing instead of 65. It also causes the enemy to [[bleed]] for 2 seconds, dealing 12 damage, for a total of 47 damage per swing. [[Critical hits]] do not affect the damage of the bleed. When an enemy is hit, they will be knocked back a long distance away from the Sniper, along with any enemy who happens to be standing nearby. The power, range, and area effect of the knockback is similar to that of the [[Flame Thrower]]'s [[compression blast]], albeit without the projectile reflecting ability. Because the knockback is affected by damage, critical hits will knock back the enemy further.

== Strategy ==
Like the Kukri, the Fishwhacker should only be used when you ran out of ammo for both primary and secondary weapons. Use it to fend off enemies to easily escape from them instead. Additionally, use the bleed mechanic to check for disguised [[Spies]].


== Update history ==
If there's a cliff nearby, use it as an advantage to knock enemies off it.

== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
* The Fishwhacker is actually what's known as a "fish priest", a tool commonly used to kill fish as soon as they are caught. The "priest" name comes from the notion of giving a fish their "last rites".
* The Fishwhacker is based on <i>Team Fortress 2</i>'s unused [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Club Club] weapon, which was originally the Sniper's default melee weapon.
* Team Fortress 2 Classic's model of the Fishwhacker is based on both concept art and an untextured model found within the retail files of Team Fortress 2.
 
* Unlike Team Fortress 2 Classic, the Fishwhacker was originally meant to be Snipers stock melee weapon during the development of TF2. Despite its exclusion the Kukri is still referred to as a "club" in the game code.
== Comparison from ''Team Fortress 2'' ==
* The Sniper's regular melee crit animation will not play on on the Fishwhacker unless it is critical boosted.
* The [[tf:Tribalman's Shiv|Tribalman's Shiv]] is the live ''TF2'' counterpart of the Fishwhacker with its bleed-on-hit effect.
* If the user swings from outside melee range, then steps into the melee range of an enemy, the user will still be Marked for Death, in contravention of the usual mechanics. The inverse occurs if the user is within melee range and steps outside of it.
