Notes

• Although the bare damage is not really great, none of the ZEDs is actually resistant to its damage type - Freeze.
• Much like with the Demolitionist's weapons, upgrading HRG Winterbite will affect both - its projectile and explosive damage.
• Projectile explosion featuring slight pushback momentum, projectile does not leave behind any form of lingering damage source such as Ground Ice.
• Amount of recoil depend on player stance and movement. Crouching and aiming down the sights gives the lowest possible amount of the recoil.

Stategy

Not the best choice for killing ZEDs, given that it only does 30 points of damage capable of tracking ZED's hitzones while 20 points that come from the explosion are always do damage to body. But the great choice for taking down big ZEDs such as Fleshpound due to its freezing capabilities. When dealing with Fleshpound players might actually consider NOT upgrading this weapon as higher per-projectile damage is to enrage Fleshpounds faster putting them into extremely incap-resistant state.
