Notes

• Frostbite is additive with similar mods. For example, a  Sicarus with a max rank Frostbite and  Sure Shot will have a 6% × (1 + 60% + 90%) = 15% status chance.
• This mod can be combined with  Jolt,  Pistol Pestilence and  Scorch to achieve a combined status chance bonus of 240%. With  Sure Shot and  Stunning Speed, this bonus can be increased to 360%. With  Saxum Spittle,  Jugulus Spines, and  Carnis Stinger, this bonus can be increased to 540%.
