That he said, also, maybe you could make like a little mini feed of darts into the gun?

It should be a secondary. What would happen if you spawn as a Sniper, with a primary that does no/hardly any damage, and some other secondary weapon that isn't the SMG?

I fully endorse replacing the sniper rifle with something completely useless.

"It did bring me to realize something though, how should I go about testing my croc shield/ razorback replacement if I don't in fact have the razorback unlocked yet o.O"

Yeah I ended up playing for hours using the Scout to get my Atomic Drink model for my entry :<

I think that it's easy to think of an application for this as a primary. I can think of a few off the top of my head right now.

Thing is, should be focusing on modeling. This really fits more with the primary model and looks more like a primary weapon.

Once I get back to the weapon, I do plan to turn it into a full primary weapon replacement. And really it doesn't have to be completely useless, I mean darts can be filled with anything....even poison .

I can totally see this doing less damage than the regular sniper but severely slowing the target.

He who hath 20+ hats are thout gentlemanne of idle forum.

The only hat I need is my black hat with the buckle that I wear while burning witches like you.

Also, pilgrim hat for the pyro? Yes.

I only just saw the croc hat, oooh man that thing looks good, can we see it larger please?

Late on this but you can see the item as it would be in game in the model viewer. Just load up the Sniper player model then go to File>Load Weapon. Find the razorback (If you replaced it with your model) or your own unique compiled version of your crock shield and load it in. It'll be placed exactly on the player as it would be in game.

DDSN- All stats are Valve's to decide. The slot is his. If he decides secondary, I don't think the scope fits. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the tip Zipfinator.

Y_M I will put up a bigger picture of the hat after I put some time into the textures. Until then...

Here is the croc shield all setup and working in game, and the tail jiggles (video soon). Texture is wip on this as well.

Haha, so awesome.

Absolutely magnificent.

Now there's a shield I would actually use! Nice job on it.

So far the entries in this contest, including my own have left a massive gap of "could be way more awesome"

This has TOTALLY filled that gap.

I will most likely hang myself if that doesn't make it into the game*
* that is not true but I would be very upset.

Even though it's perfect, perfect needs critique:
Scale the body down by just a little bit (nice pun no?) widthways and darken the strap just a little.

One of the most amazing things I've seen.

Yah, the shield strap could be darkened or even made out of similar croc skin itself. Considered that maybe the Sniper shot the crocodile in the head? That's his trademark, after all. Just a little bullet hole in the hat between the croc's eyes.

:O WOOOOW so great!

Oh man, that looks so awesome in the water. Too bad there's so little water in-game.

Might I suggest a side of the Croc's lower jaw as a melee replacement?

Oooh, I really like that idea! Should definitely try to do something with the other parts of the crock. Maybe it's spine with the lower part of the jaw on the end or a whip made of it's tail bones/flesh.

Anyway looking really great so far. Would be disappointing if this doesn't get in.

Excelent! this is perfect.
