Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• Snowballs make a small "boom" when landing.
• Its damage is higher than stated due to snowballs having a base damage of 8.
• In don't dig up(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and Get fixed boi(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) seeds, the Snowball Cannon receives the following changes:
  • Switched place with Ice Bow. As a result, it is dropped by Ice Mimics during Hardmode instead of found in Frozen Chests.
  • Damage increased from 10 to 22.
  • Use time decreased from 19 to 6.
  • Has 50% chance to save ammo.
  • Value increased from 10 GC to 25 GC.

Tips

• Snowballs fired from the Snowball Cannon are greatly affected by gravity, so it is not recommended to be used against enemies at farther ranges.
• This weapon is extremely useful in the very early game due to its autofire ability, accessible ammo, and high combined damage and knockback of weapon and ammo.
