I'm just getting warmed up.
The Sniper

Darwin's Danger Shield is a community-made secondary weapon for the Sniper. It is a crocodile hide, complete with 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 an additional 25 maximum health, encouraging users to venture further into combat but depriving them of a secondary weapon.
