The Nutcracker (or Crackdown) is an outfit of a uniformed soldier with a sword, modeled after the nutcracker toys seen sold during the Christmas season.
Enemy in Christmas Events[]
Nutcrackers were featured in Holiday Royale in 2019 as an enemy variant that could pick up weapons and items. In 2019 It would only use a Pistol against players. In 2020 the Nutcrackers kept their Pistol in their hands, but would switch to the RPG when a player came within range. The RPG would be seen in the new Christmas ZDC in 2021 as its primary weapon as well, cementing it as its signature weapon for all Christmas events.
History of Sale[]
The Nutcracker was originally available during the Holiday Event 2019 for 1900 coins.
Come 2020, it was given a resale in the new in-game store. As this was the period during which the new store was being properly integrated and the market was undergoing a rebalance, the outfit was noticeably expensive when compared to other prices in current times. The outfit sold for 1500 coins as a Legendary rarity as a part of the "Jolly Yuletide collection".
Following the market rebalance, it was priced at 800 coins for Christmas 2021 under the name "Crackdown".
Christmas 2022 would instead see Crackdown sold in a triggered form with Red Glowing Eyes, and listed as "Crackdown - Red" to help differentiate it from its Crackdown brothers (black, blue, and green variants of the standard red uniform). Its sale price was 1400 coins.
