Vicious Frost

Vicious Frost is a mod that increases the Cold damage and status chance of a melee weapon by 15% per rank for a maximum of 60% at rank 3.

StatsEdit

AcquisitionEdit

• This mod can be acquired as a random end-of-mission reward for a successful Tier 1 Spy mission with all 3 Data Vaults hacked.
• Drop Locations:
  • Mercury (Suisei) Grineer
  • Venus (Unda) Corpus
  • Earth (Cambria) Grineer
  • Mars (Arval) Grineer
  • Phobos (Shklovsky) Corpus
• Originally this mod could be acquired from Operation Cryotic Front by scoring more than 1000 points in a single mission.

NotesEdit

• Vicious Frost is additive with similar mods. For example, a Galatine with a max rank Vicious Frost and Melee Prowess will have a 20% × (1 + 60% + 15%) = 35% status chance.
• Can be stacked with Melee Prowess, Volcanic Edge, Voltaic Strike, Virulent Scourge, Enduring Strike, and Drifting Contact for a 355% increase in Status Chance while Channeling. On weapons with at least 22% base Status Chance, this allows them to achieve a total Status Chance value of 100%, allowing every strike to deal Status Effect procs.
  • Weeping Wounds can further increase the Status Chance depending on the Melee Combo Counter

TriviaEdit

• All of the dual-stat event mods for melee weapons have names starting with the letter V.
  • Vicious Frost was originally named Cold Touch before it was changed in Hotfix 14.5.2 to match the theme of having the Elemental Damage + Status Chance melee mods starting with the letter V.
