9mm C1 with Holo A, Extended Barrel and laser for extra range damage, ITA12S with Reflex A and laser as a pocket shotgun backup, and Deployable Shield as the default utility.

Why it works

Extended Barrel trades recoil control for extra damage at range. It's worth it since Frost anchors a static angle over her own traps rather than sweeping for first contact. Holo A keeps peripheral vision clean, and the laser speeds up aiming down sights for the trades that follow. The ITA12S adds real close-range destruction as a backup, with Reflex A and the laser for fast target acquisition.

Who it is best for

Players who want Deployable Shield as the default utility: instant cover for holding the angle her Welcome Mats are covering, without exposing yourself.

Attachment roles: the laser aids aiming speed, the angled grip aids reload speed, and the horizontal grip aids movement speed. Ubisoft attachment rework. Check available options in game.
