How does the Cryo Cannon's ‘Fragile’ upgrade work?
The Cryo Cannon's ‘Fragile’ upgrade is described as "frozen targets can spontaneously shatter".
The way in which it is worded suggests that there is a random chance for frozen targets to shatter. What is this chance and does this chance depend on the type of enemy being frozen?
Best Answer
According to this video, the Fragile upgrade has a 50% chance on freeze to shatter regular enemies that are under 85% health, with an unknown chance to shatter Special Enemies that are below 100 Health
Edit: On personal testing, it seems like the chance is only calculated one time as soon as the enemy is frozen. Grunts usually lose ~15% of their health as you freeze them, so I've found this upgrade to be beneficial mostly when attacking large numbers of swarmers or grunts.

The Cryo Cannon ejects a freezing cold stream which deals damage and decreases the temperature of enemies, eventually causing them to freeze. Frozen enemies will receive triple (x2. 5 for Dreadnoughts) damage (but lose any weak-points they had before) and are completely immobilized.How does Cryo Cannon work?
In general, the Flamethrower serves the more damage focused role, while the Cryo Cannon bleeds into the supportive role, sacrificing some killing potential for better Crowd Control(CC) and support. But on the more specific side... Don't have to rely on RNG to kill enemies, consistent damage all around.DEEP ROCK GALACTIC: Cryo Cannon and Impact Axe Tutorial!
