Ice Sledge

Summary
The Ice Sledge is an event melee weapon that received as a reward for finding the Green Gift (2019).

Background Story
After the intense fight against the Gatekeeper's successor, the survivors celebrated their victory. While partying all night along with the treasures they found in the abandoned village, a survivor noticed the massive Ice Sledge that was left there without anyone else caring about it. He wondered if the Ice Sledge could somehow become their weapon against the ever-increasing threat of zombies due to its abilities. After much research and reworking, he was able to recreate a smaller yet quite effective version of Frosty Jr.'s Ice Sledge, that was light enough to carry and throw. He gave these hammers to the members who fought with him during the battle.

Tips

 * It is recommended you have another weapon on you with the Ice Sledge, as once you throw it there is a cooldown before you can use it again, leaving you vulnerable.
 * Don't always throw the weapon. While it is a good throwable, it has lots of potential as a plain hammer.
 * The Ice Sledge is very effective against brutes. If you throw it at them, it will freeze them even if they were using their shield.
 * The Ice Sledge blast radius can hit mobs or survivors anywhere in their radius, and no obstacle will block it off, meaning you can hit enemies that are near corners or climbing ladders.
 * This weapon is ideal for Melee Smash due to it having fast swing rate and damage, throwing capabilities, a blast radius that knocks back mobs and survivors, and being able to freeze things.
