| [ | They saved a special place in hell for you. ―Agent after tricking an Arsonist.

The Icicle is a melee weapon for the Agent. It is a short light blue icicle.
When deployed, the Agent will gain a 50% resistance against fire damage and grants full afterburn immunity to the user, allowing her to fare better against Arsonists where she would otherwise struggle. However, the weapon decreases the Agent's max health by 20, lowering it to 105.
Upon a kill, the victim will become a frozen ice statue, making it clear that an enemy Agent is around.
Fire and afterburn is all but almost useless against an Icicle user, requiring an Arsonist to carry a secondary that isn't a Flare Gun to counter them. Otherwise, it effectively forces other nearby teammates to join in on the hunt to kill them, and thus distract more people from playing the objective.
This also allows you to breathe easy if one particularly persistent Arsonist is checking all over the map for you, and a stray flame hits you while you're disguised or invisible. Additionally, the Einsteinium also becomes less effective as the innate tracking potential of the afterburn is completely negated, and the healing penalty becomes negligible at worst thanks to you being able to just cloak in a corner and wait it out in its entirety.

Tips[]
- This weapon forces Arsonists to get in close with their melee weapon or switch to a shotgun to deal any meaningful damage to you, which just so happens to be your best fighting range, because now you have a chance to backstab them.
- Cloaking and disguising at the same time gives you a lot of damage resistance. If you do these while holding out the Icicle, Arsonists are going to have a really hard time trying to kill you.
- This can also be used in conjunction with the Dead Ringer to more convincingly fake your death, allowing you to get away without fear of an Arsonist tracking you down more often than not.
- While you can resist against fire and afterburn, bullets and explosions will become your worst nightmare, due to your lowered health. So weapons such as the Lupara DB, traps made by the Stickybomb Launcher, or any of the Marksman's Primary weapons can one-shot you.
