Gas Throw
The Gas Throw is a Miscellaneous ranged weapon. It is not used by any unit and is found only in the Unit Creator.
Characteristics
The Gas Throw is a throwable grenade that will spew purplish gas in an area after landing on the ground, creating a toxic gas cloud that will suffocate all units in it. While under the effects of the toxic gas, units will become woozy and drop to the ground, as well as turning purplish in color. Getting hit by the grenade itself will also inflict a tiny amount of damage.
The gas cloud covers a big area, affecting all units (including the grenadier) within a 3 WM radius. If stayed, the gas cloud will rapidly damage a unit for 14 seconds, though the gas cloud itself will last for 18 seconds. Inhaling the gas will also give a toxic effect, suffocating units for 7 seconds.
After throwing the gas grenade, the grenadier will have to take a long time to reload before they can throw another. Units with Gas Throw will start throwing from a decent distance, but affecting the grenade's effectiveness is how far the target is from the grenadier.
The way Gas Throw is used by units is different than other throwables. Instead of aiming directly at the target's torso, the grenadier will lob the grenade. If the target starts off afar, the grenade will most likely land in front of them, forcing them to go through the gas cloud. This however is futile against long-ranged units or any non-moving targets. If the target starts off too close to the grenadier, they will most likely lob the grenade over their heads.
Trivia
- There is a tiny chance for the Gas Grenade to extinguish within a second after bonking a unit.
- It was first teased in a video[1] with the name "Mustard Gas", where it spewed a yellowish-green gas and creates more of a smoke instead of a cloud.
