Notes[]
- Rime Rounds is additive with similar mods. For example, a
Snipetron with a max rank Rime Rounds and Rifle Aptitude will have a 12% × (1 + 60% + 90%) = 30% status chance. - This mod can be combined with High Voltage, Thermite Rounds, and Malignant Force to achieve a combined status chance bonus of 240%. With Rifle Aptitude and Hammer Shot, this bonus can be increased to 410%, more than quadrupling the weapon's status chance.
Trivia[]
- Rime refers to a coating of ice formed on objects when water droplets quickly freeze on a cold object.
- The mod card shows the Convectrix, which is a shotgun, not a rifle.
