Overview

In-game description
Get into the holiday spirit with this decorative snowman

December decor, nothing more. The snowman stores nothing, lights nothing and stops nobody, so the only question is whether you want one standing by your door.

The bill is small but a little odd. 50 charcoal is the only part you might miss, because charcoal is what your gunpowder is made of. The 20 cloth and 20 metal fragments are pocket change by the time anyone thinks about decorating. No workbench, and you cannot research it: its blueprint is tied to owning the item on Steam.

Where it pays off is a stone base on a frozen hill, with an Ice Throne facing the door and a snowman on guard outside. On a Christmas wipe with friends it is a cheap joke that stays all month. When the season ends, recycle it for part of the charcoal back or just leave it standing.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
