I'm just getting warmed up.
The Sniper

The Darwin's Danger Shield is a craftable secondary item for the Sniper class. It appears as a crocodile hide, complete with tail, stretched over a broken wooden frame. A bird skull is tied to the body strap.

Similar to the Razorback, the weapon is a passive item, worn as a shield protecting the back. It provides an additional 25 max health to the Sniper wearing it, encouraging players to venture further into combat. It does not, however, protect the player from backstabs.
