Statistics
Cold Shoulder Level 54 Stick Alt-Fire: Launches a snowball that splatters opponents screen. Projectile deals -80% damage -25% recharge rate This weapon deploys 20% slower -20% damage penalty Snow-Blind only applies at greater than 6 studs and lasts 3 seconds

Nice scope! Bet you could see me killing you real well! ―Flanker mocking Marksman.

The Cold Shoulder is a melee weapon for the Flanker. It is a wooden stick and a snowball.

Pressing M2 will launch a snowball that will splatter their opponents screen if it hits them; this effect only lasts 3 seconds and happens if the snowball hits an opponent farther than 6 studs away, which is inaccurate: the actual range in which snow-blind will affect opponents is around 33 studs. This effect can be associated from a HUD icon displaying on the target's head.

The snowball deals 10 damage at all ranges. The weapon deploys 20% slower and its meter recharges 25% slower.

There are also hidden stats where the stick deals critical hits on targets under 25% health and the snowball being able to extinguish burning teammates.

Tips

• The Cold Shoulder is definitely a horrible combat melee, but it serves better as a "utility weapon". This means that it's a weapon that allows the other weapons in your arsenal to deal some serious damage.
• Classes that the snowball will really screw up include:
  • Marksman, who depends on solely their sight to get kills. Even when scoped in, that snowball will still be on the opponent's screen.
  • Brute, where blinding him can throw off his aim with the Minigun.
  • Trooper, making it difficult for him to see where he's rocket-jumping to. If you're lucky, he could accidentally jump in the middle of your team to get gunned down, or even into an insta-kill obstacle.
• A class on your team that can really benefit from your Cold Shoulder is the Agent. A snowball covering an enemy's face will give her a wide opening to get a backstab.
• Due to its cold nature, the snowball can extinguish Afterburn. Launching snowballs at burning teammates will put out their fire.
  • Do beware that you cannot use this on yourself, as the snowball does not have a splash effect like the Mad Milk does.
