Torid

The Torid is an Infested grenade launcher, unlockable through Bio Lab Research in the dojo. It fires toxic grenades, similar to J3-Golem's attack.

This weapon can be sold for.

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * Very high damage.
 * Grenades create gas clouds which deal  damage.
 * 50% bonus damage to Flesh and 25% bonus damage to Ferrite Armor, making this weapon generally effective against Grineer and Corpus without any elemental mods.
 * Gas clouds deal DoT:
 * Affects a small area of 3m.
 * Sticks to allies and enemies.
 * Deals 40 damage per second, for 10 seconds.
 * Stack-able.
 * Very low recoil.
 * Does not require charging.
 * Does not inflict self-damage, unlike the Ogris or Penta.
 * Can stick on enemies.
 * Silent, will not attract enemy attention upon firing.
 * Good critical damages for both the projectile and the clouds.

Disadvantages:
 * Clouds have a fairly low chance of dealing Procs.
 * Small magazine size.
 * Slow fire rate.
 * Slow reload time.
 * Slow projectile speed with heavy arcing.
 * Heavy Caliber reduces accuracy of this weapon more than other rifles.
 * Requires the enemy to stay in the gas cloud for maximum effect.
 * Toxin damage deals 25% less to Robotics.
 * Damage dealt by clouds can be very inconsistent, sometimes dealing single digit numbers fully modded against light units.
 * Lowest max ammo of all primary weapons. (Tied with Penta and Ogris)

See the user build section for builds using this weapon.

Tips

 * Unlike the Ogris rocket launcher, and the Penta grenade launcher, shots and explosions made by the Torid are safe for the user to pass through.
 * 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.  (Make sure that you are currently not affected by the -proc, as you will damage the pod.)
 * Trapping Ancient Infested with a Vortex and toxicating them is an efficient way of killing Ancients, dealing huge amounts of damage if the player stacks the clouds.
 * 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 with the 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.
 * Torid projectiles can also stick on corpses and remain on these positions, even if the corpses disintegrate, granting a fixed position on mid-air allowing a greater spread of toxic damage onto enemies.
 * Placing a Decoy in a tight place where Enemies can't reach is a good method for using the Torid against Infested, simply stack clouds by the opening. Remember that if the decoy does not fire it's lato, it usually means the decoy is in a spot that is not drawing attention. Placing on top of the life support in Survival missions is an excellent way to group light Infested, although Ancients will be able to knock it down.
 * Be sure to convert the damage to something else when dealing with Infested and the Grineer to max out its damage potential.
 * Converting to using Stormbringer is helpful against Grineer as corrosive does 75% more damage against Ferrite Armor.
 * Converting to using Hellfire is helpful against light Infested as it does 75% bonus damage.
 * Against Ancients, again, will be most efficient, as it deals 75% against them and has a chance to proc, reducing their high armor.
 * Against Corpus however, the ignores shields, making it very effective on its own.
 * The Torid's damage is ordered last when combining elementals, i.e. adding two different elements will form a combined element +  damage. Various combined elements can thus be used without removing the base  damage, up until a third element is added.

Trivia

 * The toxin gas clouds caused by this weapon resulted in a severe drop in framerate for all players. Update 8.3 toned down the effects, making them less taxing on computers.
 * Its projectiles share the model from the toxic cloud projectiles fired from J3-Golem and Lephantis.
 * 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.
 * Prior to Update 12.6, the Torid shared the same visual model as the Ogris, but with a green body.
 * Unlike other Infested-themed weaponry in the Bio Lab that are either purely biological (like the Synapse) or mechanical (the Acrid), the Torid has visible Grineer-styled machined parts alongside its Infested fleshy parts, making it a hybrid weapon.
 * As of Update 13.8, there is another hybrid weapon, but this time of Corpus and Infested, the Mutalist Quanta.
 * The projectiles fired by the Torid are pulsing masses of Infested tissue with tubes that pump out the noxious gas.
 * The small canister at the bottom of the Torid has Grineer letters spelling out "KILL".
 * The weapon's name is derived from "Torrid", which in English can either mean "very hot and dry" or "full of difficulty".

Bugs

 * Occasionally while equipped with Cryo Rounds, when the Torid's toxic cloud kills an enemy, it freezes and breaks the enemy apart, this is normal but the issue is when the mutilated enemy is forced to stretch its non-existent body parts abnormally, causing heavy load to the game's actual processing on certain parts of a map.
 * The picture shows the example on a Grineer Galleon tileset.
 * This stretching bug is actually very common on certain places on the map, and happen regardless how the enemy dies.
 * A map from the Corpus was also tested to have the same effect.
 * Shooting on Nova's Antimatter Drop can cause odd behavior of the projectiles. They will still add the damage of the projectile to the drop, but the projectile itself will bounce off and either fly around often exploding randomly in the air, or produce a cloud that moves around unexpectedly.
