The Frost Shot is a Sniper weapon introduced 15.7.0 update with the Christmas Invasion Battle Pass.
Description
It is an ice-themed sniper rifle that shoots light blue laser beams. It deals a good amount of damage, has a decent capacity, decent fire rate for its damage, and low mobility. This weapon can kill an enemy in 2 headshots or 3 bodyshots (Excluding modules)
Appearance
This weapon features a light and dark blue body, a blue trigger, a skeleton stock, a grey handle, a rather wide scope, a light sky blue canister as the magazine, and a barrel that retracts into the gun when fired.
Performance
This weapon shoots light blue laser beams with instant bullet travel time. When fired, it gives off snowflake particles. These bullets can break through walls, dealing damage on opponent(s) behind walls if lucky. These bullets can slow down players. Moreover, this weapon possesses an 8x zoom optic sight which allows it to fight for longer ranges.
When reloading, the player takes out the magazine and replaces it with another one. It has both input and output delay which means it receives a delay from output delay weapons and gives delay to input delay weapons.
