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 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.
