Bone Sword and Ice Gun, both were very fun to use pre-nerf, but then PR decides to nerf them to the point of them being literally useless. Bone Sword's new block is terrible, and I don't even think its hitbox can hit anything lol. Icegun also used to be very viable, but was recently changed so now you only have 12 "ice shots". It's great for those who hated the Icegun...but Steyr with ice bullets is basically now a direct upgrade to the post-nerf icegun.

More examples, such as the Ice Staff, was made useless by the Ice Fists. Parasol also now seems useless if you have the duck mount. Sleigh was also nerfed heavily to the point where you have to rely on luck to trip on somewhere safe. There is also no reason to use the Ice Rhino mount anymore because literally every other mount is better.

Yes, some of these event weapons were a bit too strong in certain modes, but that can be balanced without making the weapon completely useless. It's as if PR nerfed them and threw them into the darkest corner possible.

"event weapons are supposed to suck" No. No weapon should "suck". They should all be balanced properly. Afterall, Ice Fists and the spear  are viable in many situations in gamemodes but weak in others.

Nerfing these weapons disappoints players and disregards their efforts in getting the exclusive item.

I suggest: reverting Bone Sword and Icegun to their original state and adding some kind of "ability" to the Icestaff so it is not completely overshadowed by the icefists. I'm not sure how to balance the others, but we can start by making the event weapons at least useful in some situations.

(By event "weapons" I mean both weapons and mounts)
