The Proton Freezer is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 15.7.0 update. It was obtained for a limited time during the Christmas holidays in the Armory.
Description
It is a futuristic/winter themed weapon that shoots cyan-colored orbs that deal devastating damage. It has a good fire rate, good capacity, but has low mobility.
Appearance
It appears to be a sci-fi themed weapon with two red nitrogen tanks with two nitrogen regulators in the back. It has a 
attribute, a gray controller with an aqua battery pack used to fire the weapon, and a red, white, and blue barrel. An arm links the barrels and a contraption which turn the nitrogen into a fast and deadly projectile.
Performance
The player holds a gray controller with its right hand. When the player shoots, the red button is pressed and the contraption which shoots, spits out a high damaging blue ball of presumably nitrogen. The projectile has travel time.
At a moderate fire rate, it shoots eight projectiles which can slow down enemies. It also has area damage. When spawning, the player is given two extra magazines.
When reloading, the aqua battery pack is taken out of the gray controller and the player inserts another one. It has no delay mechanics.

- Use the strong slowdown as your advantage.
- Switch to any 85 mobility weapon as you won’t run fast with this weapon.
- Try targeting weakened players.
- Use this in close to medium range as it has bullet travel.

- To speed up its reload time, use the Pouch.
Counters
