Silent Anabasis Frost Vortex Build Basic Info

This Way of Winter Frost Vortex Build featuring the M416 - Silent Anabasis is like turning every battlefield into your own personal snow globe of destruction. With each hit, you’ve got a 10% chance to trigger Frost Vortex, and spawn glistening Ice Crystals that hover menacingly around your enemies when you hit them. These frosty gems don't just sit around looking pretty—they either explode on their own or, for maximum fun, you can manually shatter them, unleashing a bone-chilling 300% Psi Intensity DMG. Summon Snowsprite as a deviation, and you'll be generating these icy shards faster than a snowstorm, making sure every fight feels like a winter wonderland (for you) and a nightmare (for them).

But the real fun kicks in with the Snow Camo Gloves, which send out extra ice missiles every time a crystal bursts. It's like throwing a surprise snowball fight that your enemies definitely didn’t sign up for. The combination of M416 - Silent Anabasis, Snowsprite, and the Snow Camo Gloves keeps the crystals coming and the damage stacking, making this build a frosty force to be reckoned with. Let it go, let it go, just bury them in the snow!

Best Weapons for Silent Anabasis Build in Once Human

Primary Weapon: M416 - Silent Anabasis

The M416 - Silent Anabasis is the beating heart of this Way of Winter Frost Vortex Build, and it’s all about those Ice Crystals! With a 10% chance to trigger Frost Vortex on hit, each successful shot doesn't just deal damage—it spawns a shimmering Ice Crystal every time it hits a target in the effect.

But here’s the real fun: you don’t just let these frosty gems sit there—shattering them manually unleashes a chilling 300% Psi Intensity DMG, maximizing your damage output and turning the battlefield into a dazzling winter wonderland of destruction. Plus, each crystal you break increases your Frost Elemental DMG by 60%, stacking up to 15 times.

The blueprint can be acquired via the Wish Machine by playing the mini-games or buying it with 8,000 Starchrom from the Blueprint Shop. Craft the Tier V version as soon as you can. Use the Heavy Style Calibration.

Secondary Weapon: AWS.338 - Bullseye

The AWS.338 - Bullseye is the perfect secondary weapon for this Frost Vortex Build, offering the essential long-range support to complement your ice-infused firepower. With a 70% chance to trigger The Bull's Eye on weakspot hits, this sniper rifle not only allows you to engage enemies from a distance but also marks them for greater damage, making them vulnerable to your follow-up attacks.

What truly sets the Bullseye apart is its ability to stack Weakspot DMG by 15% for 10 seconds, up to three times. This means every shot not only chips away at enemy health but also primes them for a devastating follow-up from your M416 - Silent Anabasis.

Melee: Frozen Northern Pike

The Frozen Northern Pike is the ultimate melee weapon for any Frost Vortex Build, and honestly, who wouldn’t want to slap enemies with a frozen fish? Every impact and heavy attack has a chance to freeze your primary target and generate a Frost Vortex, turning your brawling skills into a slippery spectacle!

But that’s not all! When you hit an enemy caught in a Frost Vortex, you recover 5% of your lost HP—because what better way to heal than by delivering icy justice with a side of slapstick comedy?

Of course, if you're dying of cold in the Snowy Realm, just stick to wielding a Torch.

Best Armor for Frost Vortex Build in Once Human

Snow Camo Gloves for Gloves

The Snow Camo Gloves are a non-negotiable piece for your Frost Vortex Build, perfectly complementing the M416 - Silent Anabasis. With these gloves equipped, every time an Ice Crystal shatters, they unleash a flurry of four additional ice missiles at nearby enemies, dealing 40% Psi Intensity Status DMG to targets hit (and 60% DMG to players).

Shelterer Set for Helmet, Face, and Shoes

The Shelterer Set (with Shelterer Hood, Shelterer Mask, and Shelterer Shoes) is perfect for cranking up the chill. Its 8% boost to Elemental DMG enhances your ice attacks, ensuring every hit from your M416 - Silent Anabasis, Ice Crystals, and Frost Vortex packs even more of a punch.

What really makes this set shine is the Deviant Energy mechanic. Each weapon hit grants a stack, increasing your Elemental DMG by 1% per stack, stacking up to 20 times. This means you can unleash devastating frost-infused damage while freezing enemies in their tracks. Just keep in mind that reloading will halve your stacks, so make every shot count to maximize your icy wrath!

Savior Set for Top and Bottoms

Two pieces of the Savior Set (Savior Jacket and Savior Pants) are a solid choice for your build because they supercharge your combat capabilities. With a 20% reduction in Medicine Cooldown, you’ll be back in the action faster when you need a quick heal. But the real kicker is the 10% boost to Weapon and Status DMG when your HP is above 70%. The increased Status DMG directly enhances the effectiveness of your Frost Vortex.

Frosty Blessing for Melee

The Frosty Blessing mod is a natural pick for the Frozen Northern Pike. When your icy vortex clears while wielding this frosty fish, you’re rewarded with a 10% HP recovery.

Best Armor Mods

Deviation Expert for Helmet

Sure, you lose 25% range, but that 10% fire rate boost means you'll trigger Frost Vortex faster. Plus, with a 20% increase in status damage, you’ll freeze enemies in no time! The range drop? Totally worth it for that icy fun!

Lingering Frost for Face

The longer the vortex sticks around, the more damage it deals—up to a massive 60% boost! It's like watching your enemies slowly freeze, then shatter in epic fashion.

Elemental Overload or Status Enhancement for Gloves

The debate between Elemental Overload and Status Enhancement is real, but honestly, the difference is tiny. Elemental DMG might scale a bit better, but both options are great. Just go with whichever you’ve got—either way, your Frost Vortex will pack a punch!

Covered Advance for Shoes

Avoid taking damage for 4 seconds, and you’re rewarded with a 20% boost to Melee, Weapon, and Status DMG for 30 seconds—what's not to like?

Flame Resonance (Blue) for Top

Flame Resonance may sound fiery, but it's perfect for boosting Frost Vortex and Ice Crystal damage. That +12% Status DMG makes it better than any gold mod you can find for this build!

Bullet Siphon for Bottoms

As you burn through your magazine, you stack up more weapon damage, which pairs perfectly with your M416 - Silent Anabasis.
