Hey everyone; With the snowman update this morning I figured that I should make a guide(similar to Gamelova's Thanksgiving guide) with a few useful tips and tricks to killing snowmen and getting some rare holiday items.
Getting Started
Ok, first thing's first, you're going to need to gather some snowballs to make a snowman. To gather snowballs you will need to have a pair of snow mittens.
Obtaining snow mittens
Snow mittens can be purchased at the Atnas Winter Cabin Shop for 500$ (shown below).
Once inside, head to the back and buy a pair.
*On a side note, the mittens are droppable so if you have a generous friend you can get a pair from them.
Now you can begin making snowballs. To make snowballs just go to a snow covered patch of ground and press the snow mitten button with them equipped.
Making snowmen and fighting them
Once you collect a substantial amount of snowballs find an open area with room to move around (preferably a non-pk area)
*TIP*A good spot to make snowmen is in your house. You won't have random noobs trying to steal your snowmen and the snowmen won't be able to attack you.
To start making a snowman drop a snowball on the ground. Face the direction that you want it to roll then just tap the snowball untill it's too large to roll anymore. You now have the base of your snowman.
*TIP/BUG*One way to conserve snowballs is by dropping several snowballs at once into a small group (shown below).Tap the group untill they become several snowmen bases. Now you will only need one snowball to make the torso of the several bases and one snowball to make the heads of the bases aswell.
Once you have your snowman base(s), drop another snowball and tap it untill it becomes the torso of the snowman. Then do the same thing for the head. You will now almost have a completed snowman. The last step in making your snowman is grabbing the snowman to add some decoration to it. At this point the snowman has a 50% chance to spawn baby snowmen to kill or just stand there idly. If they spawn baby snowmen, proceed to kill them to have a chance at recieving a rare colored scarf or some items found in debugs and freebies.
Once you kill the snowmen babies destroy the large snowman for a chance to get a candycane bar or (as speculated by other players) another rare holiday weapon.
