The Festive Guitar is a Special weapon added in the 15.7.0 update. It can be obtained for a limited time during the Christmas Trader's van in the Armory.
Description
When the fire button is pressed the guitar emits a blue projectile which has red particles when landing on a surface. When enemies come in contact with it, decent damage is dealt and the opponent receives a random negative effect . The Festive Guitar is paired with a slow fire rate, and decent mobility. When at max level, it is usually an 2-3 shot kill.
Appearance
It appears to be a guitar that's mostly red and white, having 3 yellow tuning pegs on the very top, 3 strings, a yellow bridge right next to the bell with a small mistletoe plant on it, and a small yellow sound hole underneath the strings. It somewhat resembles the Serenade, though this is a guitar and not a banjo.
Performance
This guitar shoots a blue projectile, which is sort of a harmful soundwave. This projectile has a fast, but not instant bullet travel time and it can pierce through multiple players. Moreover, this projectile has a random effect (it can either bleed, burn or poison the opponent, but in any case, they temporarily lose extra health).
This weapon uses the single-shot system so it has no reload animation. Moreover, it has no delay mechanics.
