Note[]
- At all ranks, it will take 40
Cold procs to reach the maximum bonus. - Stacking Primary Frostbite does not require the Cold proc to come from the primary: it can come from Warframe abilities such as
Frost's ability kit, or any weapon that can proc Cold - even if the primary is holstered. - Unlike other weapon arcanes, Primary Frostbite stacks expire all at once after 12 seconds of no procs, rather than only 1 stack every 12 seconds.
Tips[]
- With high fire rate weapons such as
Glaxion (
Vandal, 
Tenet), 
Cryotra, or 
Verglas, Primary Frostbite's max stack can be reached quickly.
Bugs[]
- Will only stacks if new cold procs are added onto enemies, if the enemy already has 10 cold procs the arcane will not add bonus stacks nor refresh the timer.
