"Fire multiple snowballs at once towards enemies."

—Combo card description

For the Snowball Cannon used by psychopath Evan MacIntyre in Off the Record, see Stilts Snowball Cannon.

The Snowball Cannon is a combo weapon in Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case West, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It is created by combining a water gun with a fire extinguisher.

This formerly harmless water gun will now shoot streams of ice, freezing zombies into ice, similar to the fire extinguisher. The player then can proceed to take out any blunt device and smash them into shards.

One shot from the Snowball Cannon will freeze any zombie solid (even gas zombies are stopped cold). However, a second shot is required to shatter them.

Combo card location

• In Dead Rising 2, the combo card for the Snowball Cannon is unlocked by examining the Dr. Brainfreeze poster between Ned's Knicknackery and Brand New U on the second floor of the Palisades Mall.
• In Off the Record, the combo card is obtained by defeating Evan MacIntyre during the mission Snow Job.

Case West weapon component locations

Case West locations of weapons needed to make the Snowball Cannon:

Fire Extinguisher	Shipping Office	The fire extinguisher is found just outside the locker room in the Shipping Office.
Water Gun	Loading Bay	The pen directly to the left of the Loading Bay "Security Outpost" entrance contains the water gun. The water gun is found in the Holding Pens area by following the orange road from the Loading Bay to the door labeled "Security Outpost."

Trivia

• Unlike most other combo weapons, the amount of PP earned from kills with the Snowball Cannon is not affected by having its combo card.
• In Dead Rising 2, kicking or otherwise striking a zombie frozen by the Snowball Cannon will cause it to shatter, but no PP will be awarded for the kill.
• Neither of the glitches mentioned above occur in Off the Record: post-combo card kills are awarded 400 PP, and the PP bonus is awarded for striking frozen zombies. This, plus its increased effectiveness against psychopaths, makes the Snowball Cannon a far more formidable weapon in Off the Record.
• Whenever this is shot at a zombie, any nearby glass will shatter, even if the zombie is nowhere near the glass.
• The Snowball Cannon received for defeating Evan MacIntyre in Off the Record is not affected by the combo card, meaning the player will not get 400 PP per kill with it. Instead, 220 PP is awarded per kill.
