I don't require cold weapons but best 1 is wave cooker at max overclock

Scout, whatever the 1st subclass is called. Aim for Sawed Off, then freeze nade and drone. Zhukov has a cold OC as well but I'm not fond of directional weapons on Weald.

You'll want to get the starting rifle and Sawed Off to lvl 6/12 as soon as possible to see if they roll the cold OC. If you don't get em, either restart or try going for some other unlock.

You don't need to win with 4 cold weapons, simply having them would be enough.

Cheers Zappman217 will give it a go.

Scout seems to weak for a level 5. I will give this a miss. pink exploding bugs are far to fast and take ages to kill. Cheers all the same.

Scouts one of my go to builds for Haz 5 specifically Sharpshooters emphasis on projectile weapons, Crit picking those boosts that will boost all your weapons.

Classic Scout is the best option from a pure Weapon Pool standpoint.
GK2 can get an overclock to change damage to cold, and has access to the 2 main Cold weapons plus the 2 additional Overclocked Cold weapons.

I'm not a huge fan of the GK2, I much prefer the Zhukov + Death Spiral, but the GK2 is the better starting option since it targets the closest enemies. The downside is the GK2 has one additional Balanced Overclock, meaning it is slightly harder to get the Cold Overclock on it. The Zhukov is a better weapon IMO but Recon scout throws additional light weapons into the weapons pool making it harder to get the ones you want. Plus you have to level the Zhukov to 18 as fast as possible to make it useful.

2 Cold Weapons are- Cryo Grenade and Cryo Guard.
3 Cold Weapons w/ Overclock- GK2, Zhukov, and Jury-Rigged

Edit- Removed Cryo Cannon. Thanks for the correction Yasahi.

When did any of the Scouts get access to Cryo Cannon? It's a Driller weapon. Other than that, I agree. Going with the Classic Scout is the best for this milestone. GK2 and Jury-Rigged or Zhukov for OCs, Cryo Grenade and Cryo Drone for guaranteed cold weapons.

Oh, whoops. You are correct.
Scout doesn't have access to the Cryo Cannon. For whatever reason I thought it did because I remember using it on one of my first Azure runs... I guess I started off with the Driller before doing the 4 Cold Weapons.

Just finished a successful run with:

- Deepcore GK2 with Refrigerated Gunpowder [COLD] damage Overclock
- Drak-25 Plasma Carbine with Cold Plasma [COLD] damage Overclock
- Nishanka Boltshark X-80 with Cryo Bolt [COLD] damage Overclock
- ARC-TEC Cryo Guard, which is a [COLD] weapon by default

And didn't get the achievement.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.

Drak-25 doesn't have a Cold Overclock. Cold Plasma does not change the damage type tag of the weapon, nor does it add one. You did not meet the requirements, simple as that.

Some of the overclocks change the damage type of the weapon. Some others add a damage element. Those damage element overclocks don't count as they don't change the tags of the weapon in question.
