CharacteristicsEdit

This weapon deals Corrosive damage.

Advantages:

• Highest base damage of all scythes.
  • Innate Corrosive damage – effective against Ferrite Armor and Fossilized.
  • High Puncture and Slash – effective against armor and health.
• Highest status chance of all scythes.
  • Can reach 100% status chance with three of the following:  Volcanic Edge,  Vicious Frost,  Voltaic Strike, and  Virulent Scourge.
• Heavy attacks throws a Corrosive wave of up to 20 meters in the direction of the player's aim. The wave leaves a temporary trail on the ground, damaging and staggering enemies standing in it.
• stance polarity matches  Stalking Fan.
• Innate polarity.

Disadvantages:

• Innate Corrosive damage – less effective against Proto Shields.
• Lowest critical chance of all scythes.

NotesEdit

• When performing a heavy attack, the Caustacyst throws a toxic wave in the direction of the player's aim. This wave will travel up to 20 meters, dealing Corrosive damage to all enemies it hits. The wave will also leave behind a temporary trail on the ground that deals Corrosive damage to enemies that stand on it.
  • Wave range is not affected by  Reach or  Primed Reach.
  • Wave has infinite Punch Through.
  • The wave inherits any elemental damage from mods and can proc their status effects, having an approximated 10% base status chance.
• Enemies hit by the wave are also staggered, making them vulnerable to melee finishers (default E ) and susceptible to stealth damage multipliers.
  • Enemies stunned by these pools do not have their alert status changed; enemies can be damaged by the pools and still be killed for stealth kills as long as their stun animation is still playing.
  • This allows players to launch a pool, then launch up to 3 more charge attacks before the enemy can become alerted.

TipsEdit

• The Caustacyst is an excellent weapon against the Grineer, allowing for Corrosive and Viral to be used at the same time, as well as additional Heat to attack their health or Electricity for extra stunning capabilities.
  • Alternatively, it can be paired with Radiation for bonus damage against Alloy Armor, pairing with Corrosive's innate armor-peeling to allow for more general use against Grineer enemies.
• The slow attack speed can be mitigated by equipping  Fury ( Prime) alongside  Berserker and  Gladiator Vice.

TriviaEdit

• This is the first melee weapon with innate  Corrosive damage.
