The Ice Pea's primary weapon is the Ice Pea Cannon. It deals 15 to 25 impact and critical damage depending on the distance. It also deals the same amount of splash damage as the normal Peashooter which is 10. However, if you can hit the enemy enough times, it will freeze the enemy, preventing them from firing their weapon or using their abilities.
Ice Pea launches a Chili Bean Bomb, which explodes after a short amount of time and deals 175 damage. It attracts all nearby Spawnable Zombies, making it a way to vanquish lots of zombies quickly.
An alternate ability of Chili Bean Bomb, Sombrero Bean Bomb launches a Chili Bean Bomb wearing a sombrero that has a longer fuse than the normal Chili Bean Bomb, but in return, gives off 250 damage and a bigger explosion radius.
An alternate ability of Pea Gatling. With the Retro Gatling, the Ice Pea roots itself into a special form of Pea Gatling. It has only 50 ammo and shoots slower but each ammo is stronger.

Dark Bean Bomb is an alternate ability for the Peashooter's Chili Bean Bomb. The player is able to have two beans in stock, however, they will deal less damage than the normal Chili Bean Bomb, at around 80 damage and they have a smaller radius. The time before detonation is 2 seconds, making it the fastest detonating bean bomb. It takes 35 seconds to recharge.
An alternate ability of Pea Gatling, which was sold in Rux's Bazaar by Rux as well as the Rux Bling Bundle 2 for 9.99$USD. The Bling Gatling is identical to the Retro Gatling except in appearance, sounds, ability icon, name and stickerbook description (same gameplay, different visuals).

Strategies
With
Ice Pea is a great character for players who like freezing effects but have less than great accuracy. You can freeze enemies after just a few hits, and this character's splash damage allows for this to be done easier, and you can freeze multiple enemies at once. Use Hyper to rush at your opponents, and use the Chili Bean Bomb to force your opponents into range of your primary weapon. This character is best suited for mid-range combat but can also play a decent long range game if you are skilled at using it.
Against
If you are trying to 1v1 an Ice Pea, it is important to stay mobile, due to the splash damage that the Ice Pea possesses, especially if you are playing as a character with a large hitbox, like the All-Star. Get on elevated ground, and try to snipe from there or use abilities to take it out as soon as possible.
If the player customizes him with a hat, all of his crystals on the back will disappear. This also happens to most other variants of the Peashooter, excluding Fire Pea.
The ammo upgrade was decreased from 15 to 14 in Garden Warfare 2. This also occurs with many other variants.
This plant is technically the Snow Pea from the original Plants vs. Zombies and its sequel, albeit mentioned under a different name.
Though his appearance remains the same in Garden Warfare 2, his icy skin appears to look more realistic and darker than in the first game.
