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.

If fact, for high level Gunsligers with plenty of damage bonuses on their hands, it is nearly impossible to freeze calm Fleshpound before triggering its rage, given that for level 25 Gunsliger with just passive bonus it takes 4 direct shots at most. To avoid premature rage do not shoot Fleshpound directly - shoot the area around it (floor, for example) and let the explosion do its work - it does less damage than projectile impact and as a matter of fact it is the only way this weapon applies Freeze power. So at cost of direct damage you are getting much reliable tactic to freeze Fleshpound.
 
[[Scrake (Killing Floor 2)|Scrakes]], on the other hand, do not gain any incap resistance when enraged. So whether to shoot them directly or not is up to player.
 
==Trivia==
When [[Update 1088 (Killing Floor 2)|first]] came out, the every HRG Winterbite projectile had been able to trigger ''Destroyer Of Worlds'' when it was used by [[Demolitionist (Killing Floor 2)|Demolitionist]], it got fixed [[Update 1089 (Killing Floor 2)|later]].

The HRG Winterbite revolver is the Gunslinger's tier 2 weapon. Upon acquiring the second revolver, HRG Winterbite can be dual-wield. It is a modified version of Firebug's Spitfire revolver equipped to fire cartridges of nitrogen ice shards capable of freezing ZEDs in place.

"The best way to have an ice day."

Technical Information

Damage (projectile) = 49.
Damage (explosion) = 20.
Explosion (radius) = 2 meters.

Projectile is affected by gravity (scale 0.15).
Spread factor = 0.009.

Reload Time (tactical): Normal = 1.97s, Elite = 1.44s.
Reload Time (dry): Normal = 1.97s, Elite = 1.57s.

Equip Time = 0.32s.
Putdown Time = 0.81s.

Freeze power (explosion) = 20.
Freeze power (projectile impact) = 5.
Gun hit power (projectile impact) = 150.
Stumble power (explosion) = 25.
Stumble power (projectile impact) = 50.
Only applies Freeze power via projectile explosion, since it does not have falloff the amount of power to apply will always be the same as long as hits the ZED.

  • The siren scream destroys its projectiles in the same way it destroys Demolitionist's explosives, there is no perk's skills and bonuses to prevent this from happening.
  • Oddly enough, unlike with the other weapons the bash damage type of HRG Winterbite is not affected by Berserker's skills and bonuses but instead belongs to the arsenal of Gunslinger and Sharphooster allowing these perks to enjoy the additional bash damage.
  • Although the bare damage is not really great, none of the ZEDs is actually resistant to its damage type - Freeze.

  • Projectile does not leave behind any form of lingering damage source such as Ground Ice.

Not the best choice for killing ZEDs, given that it only does 49 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.

So at cost of direct damage you are getting much reliable tactic to freeze Fleshpound.

Scrakes, on the other hand, do not gain any incap resistance when enraged. So whether to shoot them directly or not is up to player.

Trivia

When first came out, the every HRG Winterbite projectile had been able to trigger Destroyer Of Worlds when it was used by Demolitionist, it got fixed later.
