Characteristics

This weapon deals  Toxin damage.

Advantages:

• Innate  Toxin damage – effective against health bypasses shields.
• High reload speed.
• Sprays in a frontal area of effect, allowing it to hit multiple enemies at once.
• Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
• Has one polarity.

Disadvantages:

• Innate  Toxin damage – less effective against shields.
  • Damage cannot be converted with  Slash,  Impact or  Puncture mods.
• Damage ramps up from 45% to 100% over 0.6 seconds when firing. After firing stops for 0.8 seconds, the damage decays back to 45% over 2 seconds.
• Limited range of 9 meters.

Notes

• The projectile creates a toxin cloud on whatever surface it hits, this is purely cosmetic and does no additional damage, staying for less than a second.

Trivia

• An embolism refers to the lodging of an embolus, such as a blood clot or gas bubble. It can cause a circulatory blockage which affects a different part of the body away from the actual site of the blockage.
• The visual effect of the Embolist resembles the special attack of the Nauseous Crawler, indicating that this weapon may be a part of said Infested or derived from it. However, apart from the similar attack appearance there are no shared properties.
• The 'tail' on this weapon moves.
  • Interestingly, the weapon's reload animation seems to involve pulling (or possibly twisting) the weapon's 'tail'.

Bugs

• When given to a Rescue target, the cloud released when fired will be the Embolists default energy color, as opposed to the customized one shown on the weapon itself.
