The Pox are a thrown Infested weapon released in Update: The Silver Grove (2016-08-19). Similar to the Torid, the Pox's projectiles release a Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. cloud upon coming into contact with a surface or enemy, making it ideal for large groups or area denial. However, its low magazine size and ammunition reserves mean that players must be mindful of their ammo.

Characteristics
This weapon deals Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
Advantages:
- Third highest base damage of all throwing-type secondaries, behind Castanas and Sancti Castanas.
- Innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – effective against Flesh and Ferrite Armor and ignores Shields and Proto Shields.
- Spores create gas clouds which deal 10 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage per second for 4 seconds.
- Pox gas cloud deals damage over time and can be stacked.
- Pox gas clouds do not inflict self-damage.
- Highest status chance of all fully automatic secondaries, and second highest status chance of all throwing-type secondaries behind Fusilai's alt-fire.
- Can achieve 100% status chance with Scorch, Frostbite, Pistol Pestilence, and Jolt.
- High reload speed.
- Can use the pistol exclusive Fulmination Mod.
Disadvantages:
- Innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against Robotic and Fossilized.
- Damage cannot be increased with Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., or Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. mods.
- Lowest critical chance of all throwing-type weapons.
- Tied with Talons for second lowest magazine size of all throwing-type secondaries.
- Lowest fire rate of all throwing-type secondaries.
- Slow projectile flight speed, with heavy arcing.
- Cannot use thrown-exclusive mod Concealed Explosives.
Notes
- The Poison Cloud deals 20 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage per second during its 5 second duration, totaling 100 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
- Each second during the Poison Cloud's duration factors in Pox's status and crit chance as well, allowing each tick of damage to potentially proc and/or crit until the 5 seconds ends.
- Additionally, each tick of damage will also guarantee a Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. proc with a halved duration (from 8 seconds to 4 seconds). Thus granting a possible 200 additional Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage assuming the hostile remains in the Poison Cloud for the entire 5 second duration, for a grand total of 300 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
- Pox has a noticeably bigger lingering cloud when Fulmination is equipped.
Tips
- As the Pox explode on contact with surfaces instead of sticking to them, adding Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. or Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage is recommended to keep enemies in the clouds for extended periods.
- The high status chance of the Pox, along with its innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage makes it an effective tool to strip off enemy armor via Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. procs.
- Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. can be mixed with Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. to essentially create a stunlock cloud of armor stripping, which (with multiple cloud stacks) can shred armor in seconds.
- This weapon performs especially well in corridors and cramped spaces where enemies are forced to cluster together, and the stacked gas clouds can make short work of them.
- Pox users should be mindful about their ammo reserves when using this tactic, however, because they might find themselves ganged up by enemies while trying to pick up ammo drops.
Bugs
- When disarmed by a Drahk Master, the Pox appears on the ground as Castanas.
Trivia
- Pox refers to a type of disease that is characterized by pustules or pockmarks that cover the whole body, examples of which include Chickenpox and Smallpox.
- In earlier times, Pox may be used to refer to diseases in general, or a curse.
