Snowball Launcher (Battle Royale)/OG

Functionality[]

The Snowball Launcher shoots out a grenade, which is affected by gravity and is able to bounce. When the timer for this projectile is up, the grenade explodes and deals explosive damage to all players and structures caught in its radius.

The Snowball Launcher is a Slow Moving Projectile Weapon affected by gravity and physical surfaces. It has First Shot Accuracy enabled, but as it is an Explosive Weapon it is largely irrelevant. There is no damage falloff on the Grenade Launcher's projectiles.

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• Avoid shooting a Snowball Launcher near your person as it will deal the same damage to you as it does to enemy players.
• You can shoot a Grenade under a player and allow them to ride it. This is much more difficult than it is with a Rocket Launcher and is almost useless.
• The best use of a Snowball Launcher in that mode is to force enemies from behind cover.

Counters[]

• Keep within close range when fighting an opponent wielding a Snowball Launcher, as they'll have to risk taking damage from their own grenades if they want to fire back.
