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.
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.

* 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".

-45% damage penalty


"Hold 'er steady, mate. She tends to throw splinters."

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.

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.
