Witch's Sheep Cauldron

The  is a Special weapon introduced in the 16.6.0 update. It can be obtained for a limited time as part of the Trader's Van event in the armory.

Appearance
It takes the form of a small cauldron with a sheep's head at the front, holding a bubbling purple potion. And a small wand with a small sheep figure on top of it.

The player will stir the wand in the solution until the fire button is released, when released, it shoots a purple projectile, which will turn an enemy into a Sheep.

When an enemy is turned into a sheep, he/she cannot use any weapons or gadgets and the camera will switch to a third person perspective. The screen will also say "You turned into a sheep". As a sheep, the affected enemy can move, jump, and attack in the same way a pet sheep would. The affected enemy will revert back to normal 5 seconds later.

Tips

 * Move around while charging up the shot, to avoid getting hit.
 * Make sure you are behind cover or not out in the open while using this weapon.
 * You can hold the charge indefinitely, this is useful when waiting for targets or when the target is out of the line of sight.
 * Due to its mobility, it is not recommended to equip the weapon when traveling around the map, switch to a melee weapon with high mobility instead.
 * This weapon can be used to make enemies vulnerable by making them unable to attack.
 * When an enemy turns into a sheep, switch to another weapon and finish them off.
 * Use this to annoy/aggro enemies into attacking you.
 * If possible, use this against the biggest threat towards your team, such as a highly skilled player, or a 3-cat spammer.
 * If one team is coordinated enough, try sticking together and have the designated user turn enemies into sheep, then have the other teammates finish the affected enemy off.

Counters

 * Pick off the user at long range
 * Area damage weapons and shotguns can quickly finish users off.
 * Strife around the user while firing to avoid getting hit.
 * Try to wait until the user fires its charged shot, and then attack.
 * If were turned into a sheep, try disengaging from the battle and retreat to cover.
 * If someone else is a sheep, try covering them as they retreat back.
 * Try to avoid getting into the user's line of sight or general aiming direction.
 * Use the low mobility as an advantage and outmaneuver the user using high mobility weapons.
 * Use throwing gadgets such as Frag Grenades to damage or kill users from cover.
