The Snowball in Helldivers 2 is a secret weapon that’s as fun as it is powerful. It might seem silly, but it can do serious damage—especially to big enemies (someitmes one-shotting them). Here's how to find, make, and use this cold weapon.
How to Get a Snowball
Snowballs aren’t in your gear by default. You have to find and "make" them in snowy areas. Here’s how:
Find Deep Snow: Look for big piles of snow in cold maps.
Lay Down or Crouch: Stop moving and lay down or crouch in the snow for about 20 seconds.
Press Your Use Button (E): Smash the button while staying still. If nothing happens, try another snow pile.
It might take some time, but eventually, you’ll get one.
Snowball Details
Damage: Small enemies get stunned, but big ones (like Bile Titans) can take massive damage.
Throw Speed: You can throw snowballs as fast as you pick them up.
Ammo: Snowballs come from the snow around you. No ammo packs can refill them.
Reload Time: It depends on how fast you find another snowball.
Recoil: None, but hitting an enemy slows you down a bit.
Tips for Using Snowballs
Practice Your Aim: Snowballs arc when you throw them. Aim a little below your target.
Great for Big Enemies: Save snowballs for large enemies. They take the most damage.
Can’t Break Objects: Don’t waste snowballs on things like mines or towers—they don’t work.
Fun with Friends: You can hit teammates for laughs. It won’t hurt them but might cause chaos.
What to Remember
Not Always Easy to Find: If snowballs don’t show up in one pile, move to another.
Only in Snowy Areas: No snow means no snowballs.
Goes Through Friendly Shields: Snowballs can pass through your teammates' shields.
