TOX-13 Avenger

"'A design very similar to the standard issue flamethrower, 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.' - Armory Description"

Unlock Requirement
The TOX-13 Avenger is a DLC Stratagem, available at any rank to those who purchase the Hazard Ops Pack.

Weapon Stats

 * The weapon comes 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.

Gameplay Tips

 * This weapon is capable of damaging heavily armored enemies (such as the Bug Behemoth) that would normally require anti-tank weapons or Stratagems to defeat. Note that inorganic enemies such as the Cyborg IFV and Warlord are completely immune!


 * The toxic sludge dispensed by the Avenger can kill a Helldiver three times over, similar to the Mk3 M-25 Rumbler and Mk3 Missile Barrage's effects on human tissue.
 * Helldivers 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.
 * The toxic can be used to slow the enemies, enemies once sprayed are noticeably slowed down, you can either switch to the main weapon to deal additional damage or help your teammates if they are overwhelmed by enemies.
