Notes[]

On a heavy attack, and for any following attacks made within 4 seconds of the heavy attack, the Sibear's modded status chance will be additively increased by 50%. Unmodded, this bonus will result in an 80% status chance for 4 seconds.
- With a single 60/60 installed ( Volcanic Edge, Vicious Frost, Voltaic Strike, or Virulent Scourge), the Sibear will have a: 30% × (1 + 60%) + 50% = 98% status chance.
The Sibear is currently the most expensive item in-game in regards to Cryotic requirements for construction, needing 30,000 Cryotic to build.
- As the player can only obtain 100 cryotic (without resources boosters) in Excavation (the only mission where it's guarenteed to drop), a player would need to complete 300 excavations in order to obtain the amount required to build Sibear. Due to each excavator taking 100 seconds to complete, it would take over 8 hours and 20 minutes to farm it all
- It is also the second most expensive item for Alloy Plates, requiring 50,000.
Slam attacks release a small ice spike from the ground.

Trivia[]

Sibear is most likely a corruption of Siberia, a region in Russia known for its low temperatures, si and bears.
Sibear was the first melee weapon to deal pure Cold damage.
It is also the first hammer whose components derive from another hammer to build.
The ice spikes on the Sibear's head will temporarily grow when performing a charge attack or a jump attack from a significant height.

Bugs[]

Adding a combined element (that leaves the innate cold damage) may remove the shimmering cold effect on the coils, despite there being Cold damage on the weapon. This bug is inconsistent and may not appear for some people. ^{Video Proof}
