Tox gas

Tox gas is a gas created by burning or damaged toxic wastepacks and tox weapons. It causes irritation and toxic buildup.

Causes

Tox gas can be created in multiple ways. The most easy way is to use one of the tox weapons.

• Toxbomb launcher
• Tox grenades
• Tox pack
• Tox IED
• Tox shell

Another way to create tox gas is by damaging (e.g., shooting) or burning it.

<what causes it and how much e.g. does 1 toxic wastepack create as much as a stack of 5>

Mechanics

Tox gas burns the lungs and eyes and induce tox buildup if surrounded by it long enough.

Tox gas exposure:

• Tox gas (mild)

(Density: 0% - 19%):

• • +10% Pain
  • −10% Sight
  • −15% Breathing
• Tox gas (moderate)

(Density: 20% - 49%):

• • +15% Pain
  • −25% Sight
  • −30% Breathing
• Tox gas (severe)

(Density: 50% - 100%):

• • +25% Pain
  • −40% Sight
  • −60% Breathing

At a density of 100% tox gas, toxic buildup takes about 45 seconds to reach 100%.

Tox gas follows general gas mechanics. A high density of the gas can easily be reached in smaller spaces (for example a small valley).

Analysis

Unless you do not care about pollution, creating tox gas by shooting or burning it is not recommended as the toxic wastepacks will eventually detoriate.
