Damage/Slash Damage

Slash Damage is one of the three physical damage types. It increases damage against flesh and Infested enemies by 25%, but reduces damage against robotic by 25%. Slash damage is affected by armor when present. While common on melee weapons this type can also be found on primary weapons. The Soma, for example, has all three damage types, with Slash being the highest.

Slash damage's unique status effect is Bleed: a DoT that inflicts 35% of your weapon or power's base damage per tick (7 ticks in 6 seconds). This damage bypasses shields, and is not affected by armor or enemy resistances.

Slash damage has a tendency to rip open enemies (and their corpses), cut them in half, or dismember them, regardless of the weapon dealing the damage.
