Festive Scattergun
Level 1 Scattergun

Festive weapons are a special classification of items. They are Weapons for each class wrapped in blinking Christmas lights powered by a battery pack, similar to the ones found on the Industrial Festivizer. Some also have bells, light bulbs, baubles, ribbons, or a different texture. Festive weapons were added to the game during both the Australian Christmas 2011 and the Mecha Update events.

The lights are green, yellow, and team-colored, even though the backpack icons depict both red and blue colors being on a weapon at the same time. The only exception is the Festive Stickybomb Launcher's lights, which are all white.

They function exactly the same as normal weapons. The visual additions are purely cosmetic changes and have no effect on gameplay. Festive items could only be found by unlocking Naughty Winter Crates and are available in both Unique and Strange quality, though the Strange versions are much rarer.
