Man, this video is awesome! It's straight to the point, telling us where to get everything and showing the build. Subscribing right now. I might sound like a bot but I hate having to watch through bs talk before getting to the point.
When you get more time I would like more build videos or theory crafting as I know we don't all get the armor and weapons we want when we want them. Thank you :-)
If you have enough sproutlets i recommend buying the Shattering Ice mod from Nisa it comes with its own exclusive attributes but it wont show them when you buy it
@@xSp1ritzx ok wasnt like this in beta. ill log in later and test this for myself. you should easily see it on stats like vortex or burn trigger chance in the stats.
I also would like to get an alternative non-Legendary recommendation from Matt as well. If I had to guess.... you could run 2 pieces of the Heavy Duty build: 1 - Max HP 10% 2 - Increase Status Damage 8% There isn't much to chose from, but this would probably be BiS purple or lower to slot in.
You should try the chest that sucks em in so multiple can be sucked in and do good. I found that the armor use 4 for a full set so you can stack 2 others for weapons or stack into one. I was thinking ice and shock. Crit build with a no weak spot mod for chance and damage. Idk.
@@DcRaZyX I didnt say that, I said no one has everything. It would be impossible for anyone to know what is the best of the best. The game is 2 weeks old and we still have 3 phases to go. Most people are still testing things when they do get it.
So why do we stack crit dmg if the whole point is to proc frozen vortex alot and frozen vortex cant crit? Wouldn't it be better to stack status damage and weapon damage with a high crit rate?
Because crit rate and crit damage go hand in hand on mods in phase 2 when this video was released. Now that hard mode silos and bosses are out its easier to just focus crit rate. But also, your regular bullets still crit and benefit from crit damage. This build currently hits for 52k DPS on the dummy, and frost procs are hitting for up to 8k.
@@MattGoesBuck I’m already full stuff with something similar of this build with 52% crit chance and 177% crit damage. That’s not to bad in pvp like that’s but maybe not enough burst. You have weapon to advise for play bomber or shrapnel’s ? Don’t say Jaw 😂
I'm prepping to run a similar build but with the abyss ar in the wish machine, I dont remember exactly what its called, or how to get it outside the wish machine, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, still, awesome build
Like I say in the video. Mods are RNG, or can be purchased from Nisa for sproutlet 🫠 also now that phase 3 is out, hard mode monolith bosses and hard mode silos have their own mods loot pool. Hard mode Ravenous boss drops frost mods.
Like the video says. Your mag auto loads a portion when you proc frost vortex. You proc frost by criting. If your crit rate is low your mag isn’t going to auto load as much.
for akm build, do i use tactical vest or do i buy doyens cloack? im going for shelter parts, what mods do u recommend me for abyss build? i am using abyss and bingo for the weakspot proc
Different build. That’s the status version. This drops more FV since it procs with every crit which also auto loads your weapon. I prefer it. Both are good.
@@MattGoesBuck Is it worth using fire rate mods or something to make weakspot occur easier? The fall back I noticed is the assault rifle will only do 2 vortex without a weak spot hit or 4 with. Then you have to reload, and continue. I got a shattering ice mod maxed out, and all gold attachments.The gun is +7 calibrated.
Great video, but what is the point of shattering ice if it only trigger on monster death. Don't see much need for AoE so far, could just equip more crit no?
Oh and I’m about 10 levels under in all of these clips. I just hit 40 last nights, at the time of these clips I was about a 35-38 and this was tier 4 gear doing all of this.
Just looking at the mods for Frost Vortex, what's your reasoning for Shattering Ice? I feel like Vortex Multiplier (+1 Vortex, +10% Vortex DMG) is better with Icy Rain when it comes to mobbing, and Cryo Blast (4% Vulnerability, -10 Movespeed) for Bossing/PVP. Also, have you found any good Calibrations for Icy Rain? I've only found an orange Heavy SMG that gives +60% Mag Capacity/-30% Reload and has Elemental DMG for +7 and +10, but that seems pretty good considering the gun refills 15% everytime it creates a Frost Vortex.
@@MattGoesBuck Which mods are you using on chest, legs and boots? I just bought Lingering Frost for the mask slot, but idk what to use on these other slots
Timestamp, 2:55 - “as for your gear mods you’ll want to stack as many crit rate / crit damage mods as you can” “I am also running a mod called work of proficiency”
But does that come from a mod or from the weapon? I bought the shelter set and I have the gold AK weapon, I don't know if the build still works with that set.
Farm monolith bosses and silos that drop purple mods, or you can buy it from the vendor named Nisa in any town (she has a jelly fish head). She sells the gold version of the mod for 1000 sproutlet. You can get sproutlet by doing the cargo scuffle pvp event.

love this build! thanks for the video!
the Icey Rain is obtained from Rotten Saddle - but other then that this video is wonerful help :D
Thanks! I corrected the location in a comment and pinned it :)
Made this build. You're awesome Matt! What calibration blueprint is best for icy rain?
Heavy style mag, elemental damage, crit rate
If you have enough sproutlets i recommend buying the Shattering Ice mod from Nisa it comes with its own exclusive attributes but it wont show them when you buy it
Sadly that is not true. Those are exclusive POSSIBLE roles. If you dont see them when you buy it you didnt get them.
@@jinkxy2370 I've tested it though and my elemental damage did go up quite a bit even though there are no status or elemental attributes on the mod
@@xSp1ritzx ok wasnt like this in beta. ill log in later and test this for myself. you should easily see it on stats like vortex or burn trigger chance in the stats.
Bro . awesome build keep it up
Thanks!!
Love that the build doesnt rely on 100 legendary mods and armor. Any substitution for the lonewolf set?
I also would like to get an alternative non-Legendary recommendation from Matt as well.
If I had to guess.... you could run 2 pieces of the Heavy Duty build:
1 - Max HP 10%
2 - Increase Status Damage 8%
There isn't much to chose from, but this would probably be BiS purple or lower to slot in.
@@TimStatus yeha that seems like a good pick. Honestly I seem to be going more damage with my shrapnel build rn regardless
Currently running 3 Falcon, 2 Heavy Duty alongside Frost Tactical Vest.
You should try the chest that sucks em in so multiple can be sucked in and do good. I found that the armor use 4 for a full set so you can stack 2 others for weapons or stack into one. I was thinking ice and shock. Crit build with a no weak spot mod for chance and damage. Idk.
Depends what you’re doing. For a bossing / dps build it’s pretty useless, for an ad clear mobbing build it might be good.
@@MattGoesBuck hence why i said with another weapon. I was thinking that they could do combo buffs like with the marking but element stacking.
Regardless sucking enemies in in a monolith boss fight is still pointless hence why I said it would be good for ad clearing.
@@MattGoesBuck lol dude, Ill just do shrapnel build. Better than this one.
Looks frosty
🥶
Awesome build, had a question about weapon mod, is Cryo Blast good? That +4% vulnerability looks very tempting.
I want to say I recently tested that one and I didn’t notice much of a difference.
Nice build!!!!
Could you makk a video that shows which are the best specializations to pick ? Like a tierlist?
I can include that next time, but I’ll toss it in the description for this one.
@@MattGoesBuck Awesome! Thanks! =D
Hi, what's the best accessories of the slot for this weapon? or is it just preference. This is a very fun build!
Stability and Mag size will be your best friend.
@@MattGoesBuck Gotchu!
Hey man, Nice video. Have u tried some frost build around the doyen's cloak aswell?
Yeah. Originally I was using Doyens. It’s not good. Mad I spent 8k star on it haha.
Didnt got it from the military base,,,,instead got an lmg..now have to grind the whole area
it's in Rotten Saddle
Bro I have a question, why did u chose the Shattering Ice mod against the Lingering Frost mod? which one is better?
Because the game has been out for like 10 days no one has everything.
@@MattGoesBuck so u think Lingering Frost mod is better option than the shattering mod?
@@DcRaZyX I didnt say that, I said no one has everything. It would be impossible for anyone to know what is the best of the best. The game is 2 weeks old and we still have 3 phases to go. Most people are still testing things when they do get it.
So why do we stack crit dmg if the whole point is to proc frozen vortex alot and frozen vortex cant crit?
Wouldn't it be better to stack status damage and weapon damage with a high crit rate?
I think lonewolf stacks with crits
@@damenb8786 I see. I just see his frost damage hitting for 200s so I was just brainstorming if that can get scaled higher to do more damage.
@@voxii_13 ya, it's worth a shot. you can probably mod for both of those things

@@MattGoesBuck alright, thanks for replying!
Do you think when more stuff is opened up to us, that stacking status damage would be better?
How this is compared to power surge build or Jaws build?
It’s better than power surge can’t say about jaws.
and for the ppl that are on pve server and cant get the jelly deviation, what do you sugest?
Im on a PVE server, the PVE server still spawns optional PVP events. You can still get the jelly deviant.
you can get it at Silo EX-1 in a pve server
If you were to do this build with Kam, what would you change?
Abyss Glance? Change to 3 piece Shelter, 2 piece Heavy Duty and go status mods over crit mods.
Thx for video. Do you have some idea of what to change for play something similar for pvp ?
Stack crit chance / crit damage. Shrapnel or unstable bomber. PVE builds are always going to be different than PvP builds.
@@MattGoesBuck I’m already full stuff with something similar of this build with 52% crit chance and 177% crit damage. That’s not to bad in pvp like that’s but maybe not enough burst. You have weapon to advise for play bomber or shrapnel’s ? Don’t say Jaw 😂
is it good for pvp too or is outshine by sniper?
If theyre close to you it'll shred, but it lacks range so depends on your style.
Went to where you said the mod location and it wasnt there unless i miss understood that is where you got the weapon
Mods? I say mods are RNG if you cannot purchase them from Nisa. Some you can some you can’t. Those you can’t are RNG.
@@MattGoesBuck I miss understand sorry but thanks for the vid. I am going to work towards this 😀
I'm prepping to run a similar build but with the abyss ar in the wish machine, I dont remember exactly what its called, or how to get it outside the wish machine, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, still, awesome build
Where do you actually get the shattering ice mod? weapon crates in that military base you mentioned?
Like I say in the video. Mods are RNG, or can be purchased from Nisa for sproutlet 🫠 also now that phase 3 is out, hard mode monolith bosses and hard mode silos have their own mods loot pool. Hard mode Ravenous boss drops frost mods.
Ugh so in otherwords I just have to get the RNG of the mod to drop. Okay thank you for the reply
@@akiraslayer7934 or get sproulet and buy it from Nisa, or do hard mode ravenous until it drops.
OK I did this build... how can you shoot continuously like that?
Like the video says. Your mag auto loads a portion when you proc frost vortex. You proc frost by criting. If your crit rate is low your mag isn’t going to auto load as much.
for akm build, do i use tactical vest or do i buy doyens cloack? im going for shelter parts, what mods do u recommend me for abyss build? i am using abyss and bingo for the weakspot proc
For abyss def still go tactical vest and mod for full on status damage and elemental damage. 3 shelter 2 heavy duty.
Why not abyss glance the Gold AR?
it gives a frost vortex every 20 hits and weakspot counts as double, wouldnt that be a more reliable source of FVs?
Different build. That’s the status version. This drops more FV since it procs with every crit which also auto loads your weapon. I prefer it. Both are good.
Does this build work the the KAM - Abyss Glance BP as well?
No you would run 4 piece shelterer / 2 piece heavy duty for that
Will this work with the legendary vortex assault rifle?
If you swap to status stuff yeah. Your 3 lone pieces would be swapped to 3 shelter.
@@MattGoesBuck Is it worth using fire rate mods or something to make weakspot occur easier? The fall back I noticed is the assault rifle will only do 2 vortex without a weak spot hit or 4 with.

Great video, but what is the point of shattering ice if it only trigger on monster death. Don't see much need for AoE so far, could just equip more crit no?
AoE is going to be needed for LEA (Raid) next week, but you could certainly try out crit as well.
any recommendation for helmet and shoes? I don't have the starchrom to buy that. I spent it on stormweaver.
I'd just buy it next week, you get like 9k a week between surveys, purify, and the 3 seasonal goals.
Can u tell me what mods you run in chest,pants,shoes , mask ?
This was a phase 2 build, like I say in the video, besides the specifically named helmet mod, you stack all crit mods, in phase 2 they were blue mods.
@@MattGoesBuck so what would you change für Phase 3 and 4 for this build or is this to weak for the rest of the season?
@@perezpero5246 elemental havoc, lingering frost, crit boost, slow and steady, crit dmg enhance, deadshot.
Why can’t I find the smg I did all of his base and can’t find
Pinned message, its from rotten saddles
I've got Shattering Ice on, do you think it's better than Vortex Multiplier?
I have shattering ice on in the video haven’t gotten the other one yet.
Please make video of kam gold build
is worth getting 4 pieces of lonewolf plus the tactical vest?, or just the 3 falcon and 2 lonewolf?
I don’t see as much worth in the 4 piece because you need a kill to activate.
@@MattGoesBuck but you will get +40% crit dmg after like 12 hits. thats a lot.
Seemed pretty slow fighting against shadow hound. Were you full built there ?
The first clip with the hound is just the SMG with frost vortex, not the full build.
Oh and I’m about 10 levels under in all of these clips. I just hit 40 last nights, at the time of these clips I was about a 35-38 and this was tier 4 gear doing all of this.
do we stack the same weapon mods in the other 2 weapons or it doesn't work like that?
No, the bow doesn’t deal frost damage so you would mod it differently.
Just looking at the mods for Frost Vortex, what's your reasoning for Shattering Ice? I feel like Vortex Multiplier (+1 Vortex, +10% Vortex DMG) is better with Icy Rain when it comes to mobbing, and Cryo Blast (4% Vulnerability, -10 Movespeed) for Bossing/PVP.

I've only found an orange Heavy SMG that gives +60% Mag Capacity/-30% Reload and has Elemental DMG for +7 and +10, but that seems pretty good considering the gun refills 15% everytime it creates a Frost Vortex.
Because not one person has every single thing haha. And yeah I’m now using +48 mag, crit rate, elemental damage. I never need to reload at all.
What are the good attachments for this gun?
Stability ones, like I said :) the reload mag is good too
Does frost vortex damage crit? If I wanted to lean more into status damage or crit damage I wonder if crit damage would be better.
The frost vortex itself does not crit, status / frost damage effects it. Crits is what procs it on this SMG though.
Does it matter which lone wolf pieces?
Nope, as long as its 2 pieces you get the bonus. Just dont craft the chest haha, you need that to run Frost Tactical.
@@MattGoesBuck I'm the closest to making this build so, I'm going for it.

It’s a PVE dps build.
I'm a bit late for this but where can I farm crit rate/crit damage mods? That's all I really need left.. I got everything except the mods.
How do you make sure the gun returns bullets to you and the magazine doesn't wear out so quickly?
Build into crit rate, the more you crit, the more you activate frost vortex, and when that happens your mag auto loads as you shoot it.
But does that come from a mod or from the weapon? I bought the shelter set and I have the gold AK weapon, I don't know if the build still works with that set.
@@AxheLya The auto loading is a perk of the SMG. It's said in the video. The SMG procs vortex off crits when it does, it auto loads.
@@AxheLya I also have the frost AK from the blueprint shop but i've found that the icy reins SMG creates vortex's much more so I think it works better
Can I use this build at lvl 50? Or is there a better vortex with a gold bp?
