How to get the Primary Frostbite Arcane in Warframe

Once you start caring about min-maxing your build in Warframe, Arcane choice comes into play massively. These little upgrades pack a huge punch in practice, providing what is essentially another mod worth of stats when meeting the right condition. Having the right Arcane for the job is quite important, as with this Arcane. Here’s how to get the Primary Frostbite Arcane in Warframe.

Where to farm the Primary Frostbite Arcane in Warframe

The Primary Frostbite Arcane is acquired through the Conjunction Survival mission Circulus, located on Lua. If you don’t have access to this node yet, you’ll want to progress the story until it becomes available. Once you get access to the mission, progress until you reach 20 minutes survived. This will give you a Rotation C reward, among that pool being the Primary Frostbite Arcane.

If you’re getting unlucky or have a lot of Lua Thrax Plasm around, you can head to the Chrysalith and speak to Archimedean Yonta to purchase Primary Frostbite for 15 Lua Thrax Plasm each. To max out the Arcane, you need 21 of the unranked version.

Is the Primary Frostbite Arcane worth using?

At max rank, Primary Frostbite will grant 3% Critical Damage and 2.25% Multishot for 12 seconds when applying a Cold status effect. This stacks up to 40 times, for a potential 120% Critical Damage and 90% Multishot. While this sounds great, this is only useful on specific builds where the Cold status effect is applied consistently, and only for primary weapons. If you have a weapon like that, this is great, but otherwise, you can safely ignore it.
