Looks can be deceiving. Many mice fail to even recognize that a snowman could be a trap! Mice who make this mistake and underestimate the power of this bazooka's 3-snowball-per-second firing rate will very quickly find themselves buried in a pile of their own yellow snow. The King has allowed this weapon to be sold for a limited time only.




The Snow Barrage is a limited-edition weapon which became available before Christmas. Despite having the lowest power of all Tactical type weapons available, it is known to perform admirably compared to weapons with higher power mainly because of its high luck, which is currently the second highest out of all available weapons. It is also tied for the highest power bonus and second highest attraction bonus and cheese effect.

Purchasing Info

The Snow Barrage can be purchased for 140,600 gold from Ronza's Traveling Shoppe during her visit before Christmas. It refunds for 25,308 gold at the same location. Being a limited-edition weapon, it is possible that it won't be sold again in any future events.

Trap Effectiveness

The Snow Barrage, being a Tactical type weapon, is known to be very effective against Tactical type mice while being of normal effectiveness against Physical type mice. It also performs less effectively against all other power types.

History and Trivia

The Snow Barrage was introduced on 15 December 2008 with the third arrival of Ronza's Traveling Shoppe. On 16 December 2008, the developers posted a notice to assure hunters that they would still be able to use the Snow Barrage beyond the 2008 holiday season. It states: "To clarify, you will be able to use/keep your Snow Barrage trap even after it is no longer sold."
