About this mod Author’s original text

ArtificerFrostSurge

  • Adds a freezing variant of Ion Surge as a utility skill to Artificer!
  • Grounded version leaves a circle of ice pillars, aoe freeze and launches upwards
  • Aerial version just has the aoe freeze and launches forwards instead

Overview

Ever wish you could use flamethrower on Artificer but also fly? (or have any sort of horizontal mobility?) Well look no further! Frost Surge is an alternate utility for Artificer that launches you similarly to Ion Surge, but with a greater focus on horizontal movement. Summon a cluster of ice pillars on the ground below your feet, that propel you forwards and upwards while freezing and executing any enemies who come in contact with them. Use Frost Surge when overwhelmed by a swarm of enemies to get out of dodge quickly, and provide minor crowd control.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
