The Nutcracker! What did the designers do to you?

—Weapon description in the Gallery

The Nutcracker is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 10.2.0 update.

Description[]

It is a Christmas-themed gun that shoots explosive nuts. It has good damage, a slow fire rate, low capacity, and low mobility.

Appearance[]

It is a Christmas themed gun that has a red handle, a green muzzle, barrel, end and certain two edges of the Nutcracker's head. It has a candy-textured detail and a nutcracker's head on its back.

Performance[]

This weapon shoots an explosive nut with slow bullet travel time and that acts like a rocket. It leaves no trail but it leaves a medium-sized brown blast radius, showing that it has an area damage on impact.

When reloading, the player inserts a nut on the nutcracker's mouth, then the player forcefully lets the nutcracker crack it. It has no delay mechanics.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Due to its relatively low stats, this weapon is recommended for low-experienced players. However, its upgrades can make it an extremely powerful Heavy weapon.
  • Shoot projectiles when the area is crowded with enemies. It will damage many players because of its Area of Effect.

Counters[]

  • Pick off its users with long-range weapons.
  • Use the Reflector (Gadget) so that your opponent also takes damage as they hit you.

Recommended Maps[]

Equipment Setups[]

Equip a Sniper weapon to fend off of long ranged enemies.

Changelog[]

10.2.0
  • Initial release.
10.4.0
  • It was removed from the Armory.

20.0.0

  • It was brought back in the Elven Spec Ops Lottery

Trivia[]

  • The Nutcracker shares a massive similarity to the Loose Cannon from Team Fortress 2; both seem to be cannons mounted on a wooden stock. The only difference between the two is that the Nutcracker is covered in Christmas-themed patterns and colors, and that the Nutcracker shoots a rocket-like projectile, while the Loose Cannon fires physics-obeying cannonballs.
  • While it is not displayed in the Armory, it actually has a 4x Zoom similar to the Apocalypse (PG3D).
    • The 4x zoom makes it one of the only heavy weapons with a scope/zoom function.
  • Although thought to be unobtainable for recent players, a recent update made this possible to get from Event Chests.
  • Any player who still owns the Nutcracker will be seen holding a Pixel Gun instead.
  • This and the Evil Snowman, which is a reskin of this weapon, bear the same Christmas theme.
