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, causing 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.

== Trivia ==

* The Fishwhacker is based on Team Fortress 2's unused [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Club Club] weapon, which was originally the Sniper's default melee weapon.

* The Sniper's regular melee crit animation will not play on on the Fishwhacker unless it is critical boosted.

* 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.
