Frostbite is additive with similar mods. For example, a Sicarus with a max rank Frostbite and Sure Shot will have a 6% × (1 + 60% + 90%) = 15% status chance.
This mod can be combined with Jolt, Pistol Pestilence and Scorch to achieve a combined status chance bonus of 240%. With Sure Shot and Stunning Speed, this bonus can be increased to 360%. With Saxum Spittle, Jugulus Spines, and Carnis Stinger, this bonus can be increased to 540%.
