If you have the icy treat perk, you can make raspberry ice food that can get you up to 50% more psi if you have half insanity, which will boost your status a lot.
Why I love about this build is only the lone wolf pieces are starcrom so super cheap to build and lone wolf is shared between most the high damage weapons so was something you was more then likely already going to get
I've been having fun with what I call the BoomBoom Burn Build. Haven't perfected it yet, but it cooks groups with explosions, and bosses with stacking burn dmg. I wouldnt call it faceroll OP or anything, but it is fun.
Frost blessing mod is the best gift from the dev, The only build that can tank great one damage. When other people running around & healing, you just face to face with the boss. Shattering ice not working when doing monolith. also slow and steady will stay active with 20% bonus damage
@@ravenouskiller7915 ravenas hunter the 1st bos hard. on mod he is a pain in the ass i would suggest using a weapon that can shot accurately so u can shot the minigun off and kill hes copy that spawns where u enter overwise u will have to play chicken with the granade rain
Is the abyss glance viable if you use a sheltered set, and maybe something to increase fire rate or make weakspots happen easier? I want to make it viable, and try something different from icy rain. Any tips would be amazing
@@Byrdman That's good to hear. I was worried I burned 8K on it and lost out. I'll see if I can really make a build out of it which shines. I doubt it'll reach the same heights as the icy, but it'll have some potential
@@Zerrua I was in the same boat. I had already followed the 4x Sheltered 1x Lone wolf build with the abyssal glance and was sorely disappointed. I swapped my weapon to the Icy rain and I am already much happier. I changed the calibration on the weapon to +mag cap, - Reload speed, crit rate, crit rate. My crit rate is only 23.9% and my status dmg is 75.6%, frost dmg 58%. I'm not doing as much flat dmg but I'm able to clear Hard mode much easier. I'm still tweaking my build to raise my crit rate more.
Pretty solid build although it misses a few key points that will bump your numbers up a lot. You don't talk about weapon calibration mods at all and these mods alone can bump your dps up by 10-30%. Frost Vortex is centered around hitting crits and although the status damage is nice you'll find stacking crit rate and crit damage sims a lot higher and you'll be spending less time reloading. Apart from that everything else looks good. You inspired me to run 3 piece Lone Wolf/2 piece Falcon instead of the other way round.
@@TripleBeamDreamin I like the weapon calibration that gives T1-Heavy Style +60% Mag Cap, -30% Reload Speed (Don't need reload speed with the ammo return in the build) T2 and T3 on the calibration are both Crit Rate
It pairs well with any full auto elemental build. I've been using it with the Outsider, Corrosion, Boom Boom, Icy Rain, the shock SMG that I'm forgetting the name of. I even tried it with a jaws. I don't have have items for a full build for all of those weapons, and they still felt pretty good in level 50 content.
@@Deadsnake989 You’re absolutely right. I’m building it for my Surge build with the Mps7 Outer Space. I just had the Kam on my mind because I think I want to transition to a freeze build. I like the idea of the aoe proc.
@@diinferi7485 I haven't tried the KAM personally. But I've heard from people that it's a good boss slaying weapon. The Icy Rain SMG is a good option for silos and overworld content.
@@diinferi7485 I've been using it the last few days it's fun. It's great because you can get a working build on a budget, everything required are world drops. My budget build is 3 piece falcon, 2 piece heavy duty, and the ice spike shirt. The non budget build is 4 piece shelterer and the ice shirt. It works for hard mode bosses, the DPS is acceptable. But it feels worse, with the exact same gear than an Outsider power surge build.
So ive been trying this but i must be doing something wrong. I have all the same mods, using all the same craddle things and im just not doing anywhere near the same dmg. I cant do Hard mode bosses like at all.
I use Backfire shotgun as sidearm to freeze monster when they are inside vortex. So far still works against elite monsters. Not sure about great old ones.
@@Byrdmando you use rapid shot style, precision style or heavy style? also, do you prefer stability or accuracy when putting some accessories? Also, if I don't have a lonewolf set yet. 3 piece falcon is good and the amor set needed. What can you recommend for the last piece? Thank you so much
maybe you can answer this question As you are limited in number of vortex when one vortex is replaced does it proc it s explosion dmg? I suppose yes even if it s lower dmg than a full charger vortex
I know dps doll isnt accurate but really need to show that in the vid so ppl have an idea what ur saying. Also like another said. Frost blessing and removing healing from game is unmeasurable dps increase. Never die and never need heals. Thats worth alot
lol we have the almost the same build. just for the secondary weapon and some mods are different.. but as i test froze build is somewhat weak than burn or surge.. thats why i change to burn build with gel as deviant.
Status damage is based off of your PSI. because you're running the frost vest chest piece, which does 100% damage of your PSI, you want to stack status damage over elemental. idk if i explained that correctly but it made sense in my head lol.
@@phoenixfire8226 I face tank like crazy with my frost build, I absolutely love it. Could say it maybe the next meta when they nerf unstable bomber on the Jaws
As someone whos used frost since day 3, shrapnel is still better in DPS, and it is nicer to have for bosses since your weapon doesnt break after 15 minutes of use, but this build makes you a tank with frosty blessing. Other than that, shrapnel still does the highest DPS by far
Ya would of liked to see some numbers on this but ppl already hitting 120k dps. It's pretty clear what build ppl are flocking to. No loading and tanky though def has perks. Agree about the gun breaking in 10mins :(
There is a better mod that increase the trigger chance of Frost Vortex. Shattering Ice-Frost Vortex and it has +5% trigger chance and extra frost vortex dmg. I've only found once an its been purple and I've ran ravonus hunter over 50 times now trying to get a legendary version of it.
Where did you find the kriss vector weapon? been trying to find it at chalk peak. Edit: nevermind you said in the video you didn't know where you got it from.
@@Byrdman How many pieces of shelter would you swap in and instead of which other pieces? :) Wanted to try frost build today, but wondering if there is any new learnings before I invest all my currency in blueprints. Thanks!
FYI The submachinegun Icy Rain is in the Mystical Chest in Rotten Saddle, Chalk Peak.
Thx
i will show this too mom she is having a hard time with snipers. thank you!

for the gun mod just use regular crit chance mod. it add up and can go over 70 % crit chance if you get every thing in order.

It’s absolutely worth using. Essentially copy past the build. I’d say test between doing more weak point or crit that combos with statues damage.

How do you feel about vortex multiplier instead?
I SEE YOU!
i love this game 'cause you can pretty much make really powerful build to suit your own playstyle
On fateful strike how can recurve bow hit a weakspot damage when the mod said "cannot hit weakspot dmg" this confused me.
It can hit the spot while also not doing the dmg. I’m glad you brought this up though I need to check this again myself.
It seems to recognize it's a weak spot but not give weak spot damage. So it gives normal damage but it's still triggering weakspot effects
Wrong, no weak spot also means no weakspot effects. @@JappaChow
Can you let us know what's the accessories and calibration weapon blueprint you used? Thank you! I might build this it's good for both PVE and PVP
I got calibration to 5 and only accessory that’s a must is gold mag!

Where did you find the two blue "Flame resonance"? i only found the legendary one and its just for weapons
Silos! Use controllers on treasure chests.
@@Byrdman do you know exactly which silos?
@@eeedduuaarrdd just loot weapon and gear crates in iron river Region and you will get it easily
Silo sigma on normal
I'm having problems critting tho should i put a crit boost on my gloves or what?
maybe you can answer this question
As you are limited in number of vortex when one vortex is replaced does it proc it s explosion dmg?
I suppose yes even if it s lower dmg than a full charger vortex
what accesories did you slap on that gun?

Would love to know where you farmed your mods. :) i've been grinding since launch and i haven't found any "flame resonance" mods yet. :S
Mostly from SILOs when opening the treasure chests with controllers
Buy one from Nisa?
lol we have the almost the same build. just for the secondary weapon and some mods are different.. but as i test froze build is somewhat weak than burn or surge.. thats why i change to burn build with gel as deviant.
so the best is using AKM or Vector?
What blueprint calibration for Icy Rain?
Nice:) stability or accuracy? maxing?
Everyone sleeping on frost. I love the frost build
It’s….chill
U prefer the crit mod on helm over work of proficiency
Getting more crit means more frost!

yes

Exclusive perk of the gun.
is this better than the power surge smg build?
dps wise, no
i want a kam abyassal glace build
the smg frost build seems extremely slow compared to shrapnel. the AR/abyss build is more comparable.
How much dps you have please ? 🙏
Does the DPS matter when you’re watching me clear hard mode content with ease? lol
@@Byrdman for sure DPS matter when you like optimize all details like me.
I thought Frost vortex says It not proc crit... ?
The frost damage from the vortex doesn't crit but the bullets still crit
Is it even possible without Lonewolf? @Byrdman
Yes you could do full falcon as well for similar effect.
@@Byrdman Where to farm the blue Flame Resonance and how did u calibat the mp?
This gun is a bullet eater!
welp now u gota do the opposite built that is a burn endgame build i guess
I gotta wait to get the shelter set before I do that honestly. We want more element damage for that.
