The Ice Cream Pistol is a Backup weapon introduced in the 15.7.0 update. It can be obtained for a limited time during the Christmas holidays in the Armory.
Description
It is an ice-cream pistol that shoots ice cream scoop projectiles. It has good damage, an somewhat slow fire rate, decent capacity, and decent mobility.
Appearance
It features a light blue skeletal stock, a white-blue body with a snowflake printed on the side, and a large cone containing three scoops of ice cream acting as the ammo for the weapon.
Performance
The player, holding this pistol in one hand, will shoot multiple, light yellow ice cream scoop projectiles with area damage 
and a somewhat slow bullet travel time for every time the player shoots the gun.
The weapon shoots 6 burst shots 
, then reloads. While reloading, at first, the ice cream part of the weapon is turned on 360°, then, the magazine is taken out and another one is put into a weapon. After that, the new magazine is turned on 360° too and you can shoot again. The reload animation is 2 seconds long. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy
Tips
- Use this in the corridors of Pool Party or Silent School.
- Equip an 85 mobility Melee weapon when running.
- Since this is an Area Damage weapon, try shooting the ground and use it in small confined areas where opponents won't have as much space to move around.
- Use the Jetpack and spray enemies from the air.
- It has the Multiple Shots attribute, get into medium to close range battles. Furthermore, it is ideal against groups of enemies due to that feature.
- Use this to finish off a weakened opponent.
- This weapon has travel time, so it is best to use it for close range attacks only.
Counters
- Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
- Area Damage weapons and shotguns make quick work of users.
- Strafe while jumping to minimize the damage from the weapon and to try waste ammo of the user, leaving them vulnerable from an attack when they are reloading.
- Use the Jetpack, as it will be more difficult for the user to hit you.
- Flank around the user then use a Melee weapon to deal quick damage and then pull back.
- If you see a user with this weapon in a hallway, retreat behind your teammates, so they will be hit instead.
