Trivia

 * The "No Backpack" effect causes this weapon to have no reserve ammunition. Instead the weapon automatically generates one bullet directly to the magazine every 5 seconds until it reaches the 6-round cap. When the weapon is first equipped, it will have zero ammunition, but it will begin to regenerate ammo immediately.
 * Ice Breaker can regenerate ammo for other special weapons by equipping Ice Breaker, allowing it to regenerate some ammo, and then equipping a different special weapon.
 * it also says in its grimorie card that it was an experemental weapon produced by the vanguards.
