    18. Freezing Grenade+ <top>

    Buff Requirements:
    Cost: $13,500 Cash
    FR-Pills Cost: 50 FR-Pills
    Required Level: 125


    Description:
    Exchanges your pipe bombs for freezing bombs. Infected caught in the explosion will be frozen or be slowed depending on how close they were to the explosion.
    <Tanks can't be frozen in 15 seconds of another stun/freeze>
    <Incompatible with other buffs that change grenade contents>
    <Freeze duration: 10 seconds (2 for tanks)>


    Tips on Buff Usage:
    • The Freezing Grenade Buff lets your pipe bombs freeze infected or slow them down alot when the explosions hit them. This can be useful for letting you get away from a particular tank chasing you down or just to get in more damage on it while it's frozen momentarily.
    • As for the "Frozen infected won't be able to attack or move", despite it not being mentioned in the official description for this buff, explains that when the infected is frozen this is what happens. The same thing can also be said for the survivors. Since an earlier V2.0 changelog in 2020 however, it has since been removed.
    • Ice based Tanks such as Ice Tank, Frozen Drainer Tank and Freezing Tank all cannot be frozen at all. <You can't freeze ice tanks> used to show in the buff description to let you know that but since recent changelog updates in May/June 2020 don't show it anymore.

    Benefit in Buff Sets:
    Exchanges pipe bombs for freezing bombs. Infected caught in the explosion become frozen or slowed depending on distance from the explosion.
    <Tanks can't be frozen in 15 seconds of another stun/freeze>
    <Incompatible with other buffs that change grenade contents>
    <Freeze duration: 10 seconds (2 for tanks)>

    Buff Enhancements that can be applied to this buff:
    • |E| Frost Field: On impact, leave behind a field for 10s, slowing any infected that enter.

    19. |E| Flaming Sword*+

    Buff Requirements:
    MG Store Cost: $2.00 USD
    MG Store Link: https://store.mgftw.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=7&product_id=35


    Event Requirements:
    Get it for 75 Fruity Candies from the Fruity Candy Market within !event. Only during the Halloween 2017, 2018 and 2019 events. Obtain it from the White Chocolate Box for 15 Cupid Tokens, letting you get the buff at random from the list of buffs you don't yet have. Get it for 15 Summer Tokens from the Summer Market within !event. Only during the Summer 2020 event.

    Description:
    Sets your melee weapon on fire, making it instantly ignite the infected it hits and deal a mixture of fire and melee damage instead of just melee damage.
    <Works only with the Katana, Machete, Golf Club and Combat Knife>


    Tips in Buff Usage:
    • You can kill special infected way faster with a melee weapon using the Flaming Sword Buff compared to using a normal melee weapon, this is because the infected usually takes a decent amount of fire damage where they wouldn't likely survive after.
    • You used to be able to pierce 10% melee defenses on the infected, however this effect got removed.

    Benefit in Buff Sets:
    Sets your sword on fire, melee hits ignite and deal mixture of fire and melee damage to the infected.
    <Works only with the Katana, Machete, Golf Club and Combat Knife>

    FR-Pills Cost: 15 FR-Pills
    Required Level: 125


    Description:
    Gives your ranged weapons a 20% chance not to consume ammunition. Does not work with the Grenade Launcher.

    Tips on Buff Usage:
    • The Dummy Rounds Buff is more effective if you're using a weapon with a higher clip size, such as the SMG or Desert Rifle, since you'll be able to save more ammo.
    • You can also use the Dummy Rounds Buff with other ammo saving / ammo giving buffs to further boost the save ammo chance.

    Benefit in Buff Sets:
    Gives ranged weapons a 20% chance not to consume ammo. Doesn't work with Grenade Launchers.

    Buff Enhancements that can be applied to this buff:

    SMGs, Assault Rifles and Shotguns gain an underbarrel launcher that launches explosive grenades. It can be fired with the ZOOM key up to 3 times per map and can be refilled at ammo piles every 2 minutes.
