Ice Sledge

==Summary==
Arguably one of the most under-utilized melee weapons in the game, the Ice Sledge is the Gatekeeper's weapon of choice. Simply put, upon strike it can apply the freeze status effect on any enemy that isn't a Tank, Boss, or Minion. Making it the only weapon in the survivor's arsenal that can inflict the Frozen status effect on zombies. Extremely useful if your aim happens to suck, because now you can freeze any enemy that comes your way and shoot them while they're frozen solid.
This weapon was a limited time item, only available during the Christmas 2024 Event that aired from January 1st to January January 12th. You could have obtained it by voting and beating the Gatekeeper Boss, and collecting it as it fell from the sky beyond the gates.
==Tips==
*Use the Ice Sledge sparingly. When you swing with the ice Sledge you're temporarily stunned making you vulnerable to nearby zombies.
**In other words, land your hits! They can't do anything if they're frozen.
*This weapon has an advantageous hitbox that covers a good portion of the area infront of you. Don't be afraid to land cheap shots.
*Don't try to run up and hit Hunters with this, it'll freeze 'em if you're lucky but your odds are more in favor of you getting pinned.
**If you can land a hit, this weapon is capable of damaging Fire Elementals. Don't try with Ice Elementals, you'll get frozen instead.
==Trivia==
*The Ice Sledge was the first weapon to be obtainable through a seasonal event.
**Also, it's the first melee to inflict a status effect on zombies.
*The Ice Sledge is presumed to have taken inspiration from the Mjolnir hammer made by Shedletsky.
