Christmas cold came early ARK Raiders as part of the Cold Snap update, and you can find snowballs to engage in friendly fights with other raiders.
The latest update introduced a special condition that applies to all cards. When colder conditions kick in, maps will show large areas covered in snow. In such conditions you will encounter snowballs. This guide will help you learn about snowballs and explain what you can do with them.
How to get snowballs in ARC Raiders
You can only find snowballs when the Cold Cold condition is active on the map. You can check if the condition is active before starting a new round. The Chill condition is quite unique in that it completely transforms the cards. You'll have to be careful of the cold, which can wreak havoc on your health if you're not careful.
You can find snowballs in the group. You can also assemble them yourself. Get close to a snowball and you'll get Gather fast. The snowball will be added to your quick slot and you can throw it at another player.
The process of throwing a snowball is the same as throwing any other throwing object. You confirm your goal and then choose a power to determine how far the snowball will fly. However, the range of snowballs is ARK Raiders seems relatively low, so try to be close to the other player when throwing the snowball.
Can you hurt someone with snowballs in ARC Raiders?
Snowballs are purely cosmetic. You cannot harm other players by using them. They also do not have any in-game effects, and there is no point in transferring them back. You'll only get 20 coins for each snowball, so it's best to use them in the round before safe loot.
However, pay attention to them if they are necessary to complete the final stages Flickering Flame Event.
