Helldivers 2: How To Throw Snowballs

Helldivers 2 is one of the few games this year that managed to meet and exceed expectations. This co-op shooter does many things right, like throwing in tiny details to add value to the game. For instance, players can launch nukes and see them drop in the distance, resulting in a visible shockwave that washes across the screen. If that is not enough, players can also throw snowballs.

Many Helldivers are unaware they can throw snowballs at each other and even at enemies. What is interesting is that throwing snowballs can offer advantages and disadvantages. Keeping this in mind, this guide will cover everything there is to know about throwing snowballs in Helldivers 2, along with other useful information.

Steps For Throwing Snowballs In Helldivers 2

Helldiver Interacting with Snow in Helldivers 2

You can only throw snowballs if you are on a frozen planet like Heath by following these simple steps:

Crouch near snow.
Press the interact button.
Aim and throw the snowball like a grenade

You can throw snowballs at enemies to stun them, thus leaving them open for attacks.

While this feature might not seem like a big deal, players can have a ball throwing snowballs at each other. If friendly snowball fights don’t sound appealing, players can actually stun enemies with a well-placed snowball throw, providing crucial moments to deliver more heavy-hitting attacks from powerful Support Weapons like the Autocannon or Anti-Materiel Rifle.

Snowball Crash Bug In Helldivers 2

As amazing as this tiny detail might be, players will be displeased to know they should avoid throwing snowballs for now. According to the developers, throwing snowballs can crash the game, which is unfortunate, to say the least. The good news is that the developers have promised to fix this issue but have not given an exact timeline. Then again, Arrowhead Game Studios has a great track record for delivering on its promises.

While some speculate that the bug should be fixed immediately since it is not that big of a deal, it is easier said than done. Arrowhead did not code the game in a way that allowed them to turn features on or off as they saw fit. While this would have been a great idea, things are not as simple as they may appear.

Now that you know how to throw snowballs in Helldivers 2 — and why you should avoid using this feature until it is fixed — make the most of this information and spread it so that your fellow Helldivers do not make the same mistake.
