Shotguns are powerful close-range weapons, and running out of shells at the wrong moment can leave you exposed, making reload speed an important part of staying effective.
Chilling Reload helps solve this problem by improving reload speed while adding Cold damage, giving shotguns both faster uptime and extra elemental options during missions.
This mod works well for players who want quicker reloads and reliable elemental damage, especially when building for status effects or combining Cold with other elements.
How To Get Chilling Reload?
Chilling Reload drops from Nightmare Mode missions, appearing as a rotation A reward on nodes found on Earth, Venus, Mercury, and Mars.
The mod has a relatively high drop chance compared to other Nightmare rewards, but repeated runs may still be needed depending on mission availability.
If farming is inconvenient or inconsistent, trading with other Tenno provides a straightforward way to obtain Chilling Reload without relying on mission rotations.
Chilling Reload Effects
Chilling Reload increases shotgun Cold damage by up to sixty percent, giving your weapon elemental damage that can combine with other mods for status and elemental combinations.
The added Cold damage provides access to status effects or secondary elements, helping shotguns slow enemies or create combinations like Viral when paired with Toxin.
It also improves reload speed by up to forty percent, letting shotguns recover more quickly during combat and reducing downtime between volleys of shots.
The combination of faster reloads and added Cold damage helps shotguns perform more consistently, especially in missions where quick follow-up shots and elemental coverage are important.
