10 Incredibly Useful Secrets Video Games NEVER Told You About
6. Party Poppers Defence System - Animal Crossing: New Horizons
The Animal Crossing series has always loved to include secrets, and New Horizons isn't any different. The game features mysteries both new and old, and some of them, like the party poppers trick, can even make your life easier for you.
One of the worst things that can happen to you in Animal Crossing is a wasp attack. Every time you shake a tree, it has a chance of dropping a bunch of angry wasps that immediately attack you. Getting stung by them will result in a nasty swelling that can only be cured with medicine.
The only way to avoid the wasps is to run to the nearest hiding place, which is easier said than done when you're away from any building or pool of water. This is why you might want to invest in a party popper.
Party poppers, special items you can only buy during New Year's Eve, have a secret function outside of seasonal celebrations. They can also be used to scare away wasps whenever they come after you, sparing you an injury and having to spend money on medicine.
It turns out lame parties aren't the only miserable thing that can be fixed with the use of celebratory paraphernalia.
