TOX-13 Avenger

A design very similar to the standard issue FLAM-40 Incinerator, this high-pressure weapon dispenses a toxic sludge. The toxin causes heavy trauma to the nervous system and slows down afflicted individuals as well as causing brain damage. It was developed by Dr. Junko under the 2079 act of self defence research and has been tested extensively on live targets. The TOX-13 is part of the Hazard Ops equipment kit.

Helldivers have lovingly dubbed this weapon the "Bug Spray"; it will cripple and wear down even the heavily-armoured Bug Tanks, Behemoths and Impalers. Illuminates, however, have displayed resistance to the toxin's effects.

The toxic sludge dispensed by the Avenger can kill a Helldiver three times over (similar to the Mk3 M-25 Rumbler's effect on human tissue). Those affected by the toxin can still be saved, however, by quickly moving over to them and helping them off the ground three times in quick succession as the poison wears itself out.

Weapon Stats
Helldivers start with 3 tanks of Avenger toxin, and can carry a maximum of 6. Each tank holds 110 units of toxin (150 when upgraded to Mk3). A 'low ammunition' warning sound will play when the weapon is fired with less than 20 units of toxin remaining in the tank.

As this weapon does not use projectiles, it cannot retain a round in the chamber. Reload time is always 3 seconds, whether the tank is emptied or not. Unlike some bulkier support weapons, the Avenger can be reloaded on the move.

Unlock Requirement
The TOX-13 is a DLC stratagem, available at any rank to those who purchase the Hazard Ops equipment kit.
