General

Type

Environmental hazard

Biome

• Mesa

The Tumbleweed is an environmental hazard found in the Mesa that rolls around the biome and inflicts  Thorns on the Scouts it hits.

When a tumbleweed first spawns, it will quickly grow into its maximum size. It will then accelerate towards the nearest player, inflicting  Thorns upon contact and knocking the affected player over. A higher impact velocity will deal more damage and make the fall last longer. The damage also depends on the size of the tumbleweed, with smaller tumbleweeds dealing less damage. After 15 seconds of rolling around, the tumbleweed shrinks down and finally despawns, regardless of whether or not it has hit any players during its lifetime.
