Frostbite (Event)

Frostbite was an in-game event hosted on December 5th, 2022. 
== Announcement ==
Frostbite was first announced the week of November 21 by Gimkit on its blog and Discord. The description read:
"As winter approaches, prepare yourself for Gimkit Frostbite, a one-time-only in-game event! Attend the event with your students and experience a storm that will cause Gimkit to change…forever."
Gimkit later released a Cosmetic called Frostbuddy, which was part of a collection also named Frostbite.

On the day of the event, only 2D gamemodes were available, and assignments were disabled. The 5-player limit for the Gimkit Basic plan was also disabled. Any games hosted between 12:30 p.m. EST and 1:00 p.m. EST qualified for the game. Instead of a timer in the upper corner, there was a timer on the side that counted down to Frostbite. 
== Main Event ==
When the timer ran out, snow started to appear on players screens. The snow intensified and the player's screen became whiter until it was fully covered. Players were transported to a PVP gamemode where they launched snowballs at each other. Players could reload and had health and defense points. The player with the most eliminations won.

== Post-Event ==
Frostbite was actually a prelude to a new 2D gamemode called Snowbrawl, which introduced a combat mechanic to 2D gamemodes.
