- — In-Game Description
The Big Chill is an Explosive Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Chapter 2: Season 5, during Operation: Snowdown. It is an Exotic version of the Snowball Launcher.
Functionality
The Big Chill shoots out a snowball projectile which is affected by gravity and explodes on impact. The Projectile deals no damage, instead affecting those who shoot it with an ice effect, similar to a Chiller Grenade. This causes players to slide down slopes and move uncontrollably. Like all explosive weapons, it also affects the player who shot it, if they are in the blast radius.
