Tips

 * Unlike the Ogris rocket launcher, shots and explosions made by the Torid are safe for the user to pass through. With exception to General Sargas Ruk's Bullet Attractor.
 * Adding a rank 1 Wildfire will give you 1 extra bullet, a rank 5 Magazine Warp will give you 2 extra bullets. Combine Magazine Warp and Wildfire for a total of 8 bullets in the magazine.
 * Shooting it at the cyropod in a defense mission is generally a good way of defending against infested. If you target the middle correctly, all infested attacking should be damaged by the cloud(s), regardless of the side from which they are attacking the pod.
 * Trapping Ancient Infested with a Vortex and poisoning them is a great way to get rid of ancients, dealing huge amounts of damage if the player stacks the clouds.
 * Adding Cryo Rounds (Freeze damage) is essential for slowing enemies entering the cloud, allowing more damage to be dealt in addition to the extra damage from the mod. As a bonus, enemies hit directly with the projectile will continue to be slowed for the full 12 seconds from the cloud and poison/slow others that go near it. Great for use on Phorid or used with Nyx's Chaos / Mind controlled enemies as others will go near the controlled enemy to attack it and receive damage.
 * A good way of using teamwork with this weapon is stacking multiple clouds on a friendly (preferably durable) frame, which then runs off into the enemies. The enemies will take damage if they are close to the frame, making this a very useful weapon, especially in infested. Alternatively, hitting an enemy directly will deal the impact damage but also guarantees that the enemy will take max possible damage, as they can not move out of the cloud, making this useful to suppress shields of heavy enemies and bosses.
 * If using freeze mods, this weapon can also be used for crowd control. Hitting a large group of enemies or laying down clouds at choke points is a very effective way of slowing large amounts of enemies easily while dealing damage at the same time.

Trivia

 * The poison gas clouds caused by this weapon results in a severe drop in framerate for all players. As of hotfix patch 8.3 as the effects were toned down, making it less severe.
 * The weapon's model is actually identical to the launcher used by the Grineer Napalm, which may explain why it is a grenade launcher with a damage over time component rather than an explosive rocket launcher.
 * As of Update 10, killing an enemy with the Torid causes their models to stretch. If enough enemies are rendered as such, it will severely affect framerate.
