CharacteristicsEdit

This weapon deals Corrosive damage.

Advantages:

• Tied with Reaper Prime for the highest base damage of all scythes.
  • Innate Corrosive damage – effective against Ferrite Armor and Fossilized.
• Very high status chance.
  • Can reach 100% status chance with Volcanic Edge, Vicious Frost, Voltaic Strike, and Virulent Scourge.
• Charge 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 over it.
• stance polarity matches Stalking Fan.
• Innate polarity.

Disadvantages:

• Innate Corrosive damage – less effective against Proto Shields.
• Very low critical chance.

NotesEdit

• When performing a charge 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. The residual trail will not proc status.
• 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 (or primed fury) alongside Berserker and Gladiator rush

TriviaEdit

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