The game writes the name with a zero, Fr0st-EE5, and players shorten it to Frostees. The legs are a Hunter Exotic, so Titans and Warlocks cannot equip them.
What Rapid Cooldown does on Frostees
Rapid Cooldown is the Exotic perk of the legs, and it pays you for sprinting in 2 ways.
- Faster abilities: while you sprint, your grenade, melee and dodge recharge faster.
- Frost Armor: sprinting builds stacks of Frost Armor, and while you hold any stacks your Stasis weapons deal extra damage.
Frost Armor is the Stasis buff that stacks up and lowers the damage you take. With Frostees the stacks come from sprinting alone, so they reach you on any Hunter subclass, and any Stasis weapon in your loadout cashes in on the damage bonus.
Bungie gave Rapid Cooldown its Frost Armor half in Monument of Triumph, the final content update of 9 June 2026.
How to get Frostees
Frostees have no quest of their own. They sit in the random Exotic pool, and the game opens 4 roads to them.
Exotic Engrams: the Collections entry names Exotic engrams and very rare world drops as the source. Bring every engram to Master Rahool in the Tower on your Hunter.- Rahool's Focused Decoding: each page lists the Exotics of the class you play, so open it on the Hunter. Novel Decryption aims an engram at legs you have never collected and costs 1 Exotic Engram plus 1
Exotic Cipher. Precision Decryption makes a fresh pair once Frostees are in your Collections, for an engram, Glimmer and Ascendant Shards. - Ada-1: her Exotic Archetype Focusing rebuilds an Exotic you have discovered with the archetype you choose. An
Exotic Requisition Order is the token she takes for that trade. - Xûr: Fr0st-EE5 is on his Exotic armor list, and his stock on the weekend of 7 November 2025 carried the legs.
Novel Decryption is the direct road for a Hunter who has never owned the legs. Where the engrams themselves drop is in our Exotic Engram farm guide.
Which archetype to roll on Frostees
Every Exotic armor piece rolls an archetype, and the archetype names its primary and secondary stat. A Frostees drop can land on any of 12 archetypes, while Ada-1's focusing offers the older 6.
| Archetype | Primary stat | Secondary stat | From Ada-1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grenade | Super | Yes | |
| Grenade | Class | Drops only | |
| Melee | Health | Yes | |
| Melee | Weapons | Drops only | |
| Class | Weapons | Yes | |
| Class | Melee | Drops only | |
| Super | Melee | Yes | |
| Super | Health | Drops only | |
| Health | Class | Yes | |
| Health | Grenade | Drops only | |
| Weapons | Grenade | Yes | |
| Weapons | Super | Drops only |
Rapid Cooldown already speeds up your grenade, melee and dodge, so a primary stat on Grenade, Melee or Class stacks on top of the perk. The dodge is the Hunter class ability, which makes Class the stat behind it.
Of the 3 archetypes Ada-1 can focus for that plan, Grenadier fits grenade loops, Brawler fits melee builds and Specialist fits a dodge build. A Stasis weapon build leans on Gunner instead, the archetype Bungie describes as weapon-centric.
Stasis pieces that build on the Frost Armor of Frostees
Frostees hand you Frost Armor on every sprint. These Stasis pieces check for that buff and give more while you hold it.
| Piece | Type | What it does with Frost Armor |
|---|---|---|
| Hunter Stasis Aspect, 2 Fragment slots | Picking up Stasis shards adds stacks. With stacks up, Stasis and Kinetic final blows can shatter the target, and damage you take refills class ability energy. | |
| Stasis Fragment | Your stacks last longer and the stack cap goes up. | |
| Stasis Fragment | Kills while you hold stacks can drop a Stasis shard. | |
| Stasis Fragment | Melee damage slows the target while you hold stacks. |
Grim Harvest and Whisper of Chains feed each other: Chains turns kills into shards, and Harvest turns each pickup into more Frost Armor. More loadout ideas are in our best PvE builds guide.
How a Pro gets Frostees on your account
A Pro logs in to your account and plays activities with a high Exotic drop chance until Frostees drop. Work starts within 1 to 2 hours of checkout, and the order page plans about 1 day.
- Never owned them: pick the order option for legs that are missing from your Collections.
- A stronger copy: add the high-stats option.
- Everything else stays: every item and resource that drops on the way is yours.
- Watch it live: add a stream to the order.
The order guarantees the Exotic, and the Frostees order page lists every option. Not sure which archetype suits your build? Ask in the chat on this page.
