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.

Tips[]
- Use this in the corridors of Pool Party or Silent School.

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.
