Gas grenade (DX)



Gas Grenades are a non-lethal throwing weapon capable of stunning large groups of organic enemies. The gas causes them to stop what they're doing and cover their faces for a fair amount of time, allowing you time line up and make headshots. Be careful though, the gas causes you damage as well, and your enemies can become temporarily "un-stunned" if you damage them without actually killing them.

Despite the damage they can inflict on you, they will affect unprotected enemies more severely, so if you get yourself into a very bad bind in tight quarters, pulling out a gas grenade and throwing it down at your feet may save you from a severe perforating. Escape the area while your opponents are helpless and regroup, or just leave the cloud and throw a LAM back in to finish them. Trying to kill them with gunfire while choking even once outside the cloud is inadvisible since the visual occlusion is severe and lasts quite a few seconds.

In-game Description
Upon detonation, the gas grenade releases a large amount of CS (A military-grade 'tear gas' agent) over its area of effect. CS will causes irritation to all exposed mucous membranes leading to temporary blindness and uncontrolled coughing. Like a LAM, gas grenades can be attached to any surface.
