The '''Fishwhacker''' is a melee weapon for the [[Sniper]]. It's an old wooden fish priest ~~that's damaged enough around~~ the top ~~to cause splinters~~, ~~it's~~ fitted with a leather grip and wrist belt ~~for stable carrying~~.

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 ~~acts~~ as ~~a close range risk/reward option~~, on ~~one side it will deal~~ the ~~standard 65 points~~ of damage and will ~~cause an opponent to~~ [[~~bleed~~]], upon ~~hitting any~~ bleeding ~~opponent~~ the ~~Fishwhaker will consistently crit and deal 195 points~~ of ~~damage~~. ~~However on~~ the ~~other side, if~~ the user ~~were to miss their swing entirely they will be marked~~ for ~~death~~ for 3 seconds, ~~along with that the weapon will never gain a random~~ critical ~~hit~~.

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 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 for for 3 seconds, turning all damage received into [[mini-crit]] damage. The Fishwhacker also cannot randomly crit.
