| — Mission Control |
The Pool Float is a special event object that only appears during the Space Beach Party special seasonal event. A single Pool Float will spawn in each mission during the Space Beach Party special seasonal event. It can be found in any environment and mission type. Once deposited, it will grant the Players a 
Performance Points bonus, doubling the Performance Points received upon mission completion as long as the player is in any season. This bonus is granted even if the mission is a failure.
The Pool Float is a heavy object. Heavy objects must be picked up and carried by hand, or via Bosco. When carrying it a player cannot do anything but throw flares and ride ziplines. Additionally carrying a heavy object gives a 25% movement speed penalty, and disables sprinting. Heavy Objects can be dropped by throwing using the [FIRE] or [MINE] key. Switching weapons, Saluting, or using the Laser Pointer will also cause the player to drop the Heavy Object.
During a mission the Pool Float can be found on the cave floor partially buried. While buried the Float faintly glows with yellow light. When approached a voice-line will play indicating the Floats location has been added to the Terrain Scanner, after which it appears on the Terrain Scanner. If a player comes close to the float a wave of enemies will spawn.
Appearance
The Pool Float resembles an inflatable yellow and blue ring, adorned with several brightly colored glyphid legs, and a glyphid head, with the whole thing being wrapped in a string of small lights. When thrown the Floats legs will bounce and jiggle.

Trivia
- Like the previous event objects such as the Best Wurst Beer and the Lunar Festival Rabbit statues, there seems to be a running gag where the shuttle pilot from a longbeard freighter involved in ferrying these goods has yet again, lost an entire shipment of these objects. By this point, HR from Deep Rock has been becoming frustrated at the incompetence.
