The Sniper taking advantage of afterburn immunity

Darwin's Danger Shield is a community-created secondary weapon for the Sniper. It is a crocodile hide, complete with waving tail, stretched over a broken wooden frame. A bird skull is tied to the brown leather body strap.

Like the Razorback, Darwin's Danger Shield is worn on the Sniper's back. Instead of protecting the wearer from backstabs, it grants a passive bonus of afterburn immunity and a 50% increased flame resistance.

Trivia

  • The name of the weapon may be a reference to a multitude of things. Darwin may refer to the capital of the Northern Territory in Australia, the Sniper's home country. Crocodiles are also often found around Darwin. Darwin may also refer to Charles Darwin, who is known for proposing the scientific theory of natural selection and the theory of Evolution.
  • The first version of the shield had jiggleboned legs plus had the crocodile skin stretched over the full shield instead of being tanned on a stretching board, but these were removed in the creation process.[1]
