    Best M416 Build In Once Human: The Silent Anabasis Frost Vortex Build

    Combining the Frost Vortex build with the Silent Anabasis can help you navigate the frosty terrains without compromising on your safety. With the M416 as your primary weapon, you can center your Frost Vortex build around it. We will break down the best weapons, mods, and gear to use for this build.

    Best Silent Anabasis Frost Vortex Weapons

    Primary Weapon – M416 – Silent Anabasis

    The passives on this weapon compliment the Frost Vortex build in Once Human. When used, the M416 has a 10% chance to trigger Frost Vortex on hit, and there is an even higher chance that it triggers Ice Crystals. When the target is infused with Ice Crystals, it can shatter after 15 seconds and deals a Frost Elemental Status DMG AoE. If you shoot the Ice Crystals instead, it will increase the DMG of the Psi Intensity.

    Best Mod: Vortex Multiplier – Increase DMG of Frost Vortex by 10%, increases maximum Frost Vortex number by 1.

    Secondary Weapon – AWS.338 – Bullseye

    While the M416 is great at dealing with mid to close range fights, you will require something for long range. That is where the AWS.338 Bullseye comes in, which has a 70% chance to trigger Bull’s Eye if a weakspot is hit. The best part about this passive is that you can stack this ability up to 3 times, and each time there is a Weakspot DMG +15% for 10 seconds. Plus, you get an attack boost of +15% for 20 seconds if the target who has taken a weakspot damage is killed.

    Best Mod: Vulnerability Amplifier – Increases Bull’s Eye vulnerability effect by +8% on marked targets.

    Melee Weapon – Frozen Northern Pike/ Torch

    Depending on which terrain you are traversing, you can switch between the Frozen Northern Pike or the Torch for your melee weapon. The Frozen Northern Pike offers a better chance of generating a Frost Vortex. Not only that, you can recover some HP at the cost of Stamina consumption. The Torch, on the other hand, can deal Burn DMG and ignites the target. Plus it can help you stay warm while dealing with the snow.

    Best Mod: Frosty Blessing – Restores 10% HP if Frost Vortex disappears when using a melee weapon.

    Best Silent Anabasis Frost Vortex Gear

    • Helmet: Shelterer Hood
    • Face: Shelterer Mask
    • Gloves: Snow Camo Gloves
    • Shoes: Shelterer Shoes
    • Top: Savior Jacket
    • Bottoms: Savior Pants

    The Snow Camo Gloves compliments the Silent Anabasis as it can launch 4 additional Ice Missiles when an Ice Crystal is shattered. With the 3 piece Shelterer set, you get an +8% Elemental Boost and a +15% Status damage reduction. You can also stack up Deviant Energy with each weapon hit, which can cause additional Elemental Damage. The 2 piece Savior Set is to help you in healing and damage output, as it can increase weapon and status damage +10% if HP is above 70%. You also get a -20% medicine cooldown.

    Best Silent Anabasis Frost Vortex Gear Mods

    • Helmet: Deviation Expert. -25% range, +10% fire rate, +20% status damage.
    • Face: Lingering Frost. Depending on duration, 60% increase in Frost Vortex Final DMG.

    Best Silent Anabasis Frost Vortex Deviant

    This is a tie between the Snowsprite or the Polar Jelly for the best Silent Anabasis Frost Vortex Deviants. Both Deviants fall under the Combat category, and they are both well suited for the Frost Vortex build. The Polar Jelly can create Knockback alongside an AOE Frost DMG, while the Snowsprite can shoot Ice Crystals at targets. You can pick one or the other, as you won’t feel much of a difference when it comes to their combat abilities.
