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.
