The Hot Greetings is a Backup weapon introduced in the 16.9.0 update as part of the Thanksgiving Season Battle Pass.

Description[]

The Hot Greetings is a Thanksgiving themed weapon that shoots out fire drumsticks. It has good damage, a decent fire rate, a small capacity, and a slow mobility. It is 2 - 3 shots with Burning.

Appearance[]

The weapon features a wooden rifle body with a solid stock, a grey rifle butt, a white trigger and a black trigger guard. On top of the body, a large silver heater with a yellow end and vent holes act as the barrel and receiver for the weapon. Mounted on top is a fork head acting as a front iron sight. 

The weapon features a pair of drumsticks acting as the ammo source for the weapon, the drumsticks will be loaded into the heater and will fire out while being engulfed in flames.

Performance[]

When the fire button is hold, fire drumsticks will start coming out from the gun. It will leave enemy on fire if it hits another player. It also allows for rocket jump without the user taking damage. 

When the gun needs to reload, the player will take out the magazine located at the bottom of the gun and replace it with a new one. 

It has Fixed Delay. This means that once the player switches from any weapon to this weapon, the Hot Greetings will always have a pull-up delay lasting around half of a second.
