Cryo Coating GUIDE
Understand Cryo Coating
Useful when…
- Add Cold damage and Status Chance to a compatible Archmelee weapon.
Effect and ranks
Cryo Coating grants +15% Cold and +15% Status Chance at rank 0, +45% of each at rank 2, and +60% of each at rank 3. These are mod bonuses, not a statement of final weapon damage or final status chance.
Slot, compatibility, and investment
It is a Madurai-polarity standard mod for Archmelee, with base drain 4 and maximum rank 3. Listed costs are 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits for rank 0 to 1, then 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits for rank 2 to 3. Higher ranks raise both listed bonuses; the last step costs twice the prior step's 60 Endo and 2,898 Credits.
Choosing an elemental alternative
The listed related Archmelee mods have the same +60% Status Chance at their maximum description but pair it with a different element: Infectious Injection adds Toxin, Ion Infusion adds Electricity, and Searing Steel adds Heat.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Requires an Archmelee weapon and a standard mod slot.
- Its elemental bonus is specifically Cold; related elemental mods offer different damage types.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Installing it on a weapon type other than Archmelee.
- Reading +60% as the weapon's final Cold damage or final Status Chance.
