Notes[edit | edit source]
- 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.
- Wave range is not affected by
- 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.
Tips[edit | edit source]

- 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.
- Alternatively, it can be paired with
- The slow attack speed can be mitigated by equipping Fury ( Prime) alongside Berserker and Gladiator Vice.
