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 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.
