When a particle from Cryo Cannon damages a Frozen enemy and brings its health below 100 "true" hp, it has a (1 - hp/100) probability to deal the remaining hp as Kinetic Damage.
Cool down enemies within 4m of you at a rate of 60 Cold/sec. This stacks with the direct stream and Ice Path's cold sources as well.

Whenever the CWC damages a Burning or Frozen enemy, it inflicts 50% of its damage as Heat or 75% as Cold (respectively) to all enemies within a 2.5m radius (including the Burning/Frozen enemy itself). This causes the primary target to have an extended Burning or Frozen duration, while also causing nearby enemies to start to Ignite or Freeze.
Press Reload to toggle Wide Lens Add-On off/on. When activated, x1.25 Shot Width in exchange for +110% Heat Generation.
Press Reload to toggle Power Supply Overdrive off/on. When activated, +2.5 Rate of Fire in exchange for x0.1 Shot Width and +40% Heat Generation
x1.3 Damage vs enemies afflicted by Neurotoxin, Corrosion, or Sludge Puddles. Additionally, a 10% chance per ammo to spread Neurotoxin from the primary target to nearby enemies.
Enemies killed by the Wave Cooker have a 50% chance to explode, dealing 100 Explosive Area Damage in a 2.5m radius.
Every time the Wave Cooker damages a Burning or Frozen enemy, it has a 25% chance to trigger Exothermic Reactor. Exothermic Reactor sets the enemy's temperature back to zero, applies Temperature Shock to them (dealing 200 Disintegrate-element damage), and causes the enemy to deal 50 Temperature "damage" in a 2m radius -- Heat if they were Burning, or Cold if they were Frozen.

Loadout Guide

STRATEGY

  • Use the Cryo Cannon to freeze large hordes of enemies, and use Boiler Ray on the Wave Cooker to clear the leftover trash.
  • The damage of the Wave Cooker is tripled from the Frozen Effect, making this an extremely powerful swarm clearing combo.
  • Singular Glyphid Guards can be very tanky, so you can use Barbed Drills to finish them off.
  • Use Axes to clean up Frozen Oppressors and Praetorians. Use Cold Radiance and/or Snowball to freeze Goo Bombers, Mactera, Naedocyte Breeders, Brood Nexus, Spitballers, Barrage Infectors, Vartok Scarebrambles, etc.

NOTES

  • Stun C4 is not as necessary for Cryo builds, since you are freezing bugs anyway. However, it still offers some unbelievably powerful utility on higher hazards, and great breathing room overall.
  • Overclocks are not required for this build to work. The modifications will stay the same for each weapon.

hope this helps :)
