Overview

In-game description
Load snowballs and lay waste to your foes with Christmas cheer.

Holiday chaos is the whole point. The snowball gun loads snowballs and pelts your friends with them a lot faster than you could throw by hand. Against a geared roamer it is a joke, so treat it as a toy for the winter event and nothing more.

Getting one is the real limit. Item lists show a recipe with high quality metal and three metal pipes at a Level 3 workbench, but in the game files the gun cannot be crafted or researched at all: it comes from loot or a trade. So do not save pipes for it; they belong in rifles and rockets anyway.

Ammo is the other limit. Snowballs come from the winter event rather than a recipe, and they do not stack, so a full load eats your inventory one slot at a time. Once they run out, the gun goes quiet.
