Personally I think they should cannonise the icebreaker to slow its use; if you read the grimoire card and description it clearly says that the gun was built for the vanguard but they decommissioned it because it had a tendency to explode killing the operater;

[quote]* "[b]The Ice Breaker series was a clandestine project developed by the Vanguard in conjunction with various City weapons foundries. Meant as an exploration of Golden Age weapon technology, the project was scrapped after only a single weapon reached the testing phase.The prototypes for the project's lone weapon are [u]considered dangerous and unfit for field duty by the Vanguard[/u]. This hasn't stopped daring Guardians from seeking out the Ice Breakers - death, after all, is an occupational hazard.[/b]" - Grimoire card[/quote]
[i]Soo....[/i]what if the last shot in the magazine has 4 possibilities:
*[u]Standard Fire[/u]; Operates at normal capacity, no additions to use or abilities.
*[u]Breaking the Ice[/u]; +50% damage, +20% Accuracy, +20% Stability until the next shot is loaded.
*[u]Too Hot[/u]; gun fails to fire and takes 25% longer to reload.
*[u]Heat Sink Overload[/u]; the operater Explodes dealing 90% of players health to the operater and standard Proximity damage to surrounding enemies.
*As a carry on, I would also prefer that each special ammo drop to grant 1 round. As to prevent that nasty build up of green boxes and to slow the progression towards that last round in the magazine.

So I don't even have a Year 2 Icebreaker, don't know if I'll ever get one, and there's already someone starting a campaign to cripple it? #JustShootMeNow. #WithYourModifiedIcebreaker
