Biological Warfare can be considered the ultimate human-designed weapon to fight the aliens. This gives you the Toxigun, a small, potent weapon, and Toxin A, a weak toxin, but better than nothing. Once you get a recharging weapon, you will NEVER go back to clip-based weapons, though, so you pretty much won't use this unless desperate to get through a heavily shielded opponent quickly. Toxin C, however, packs a punch.

Biological Warfare can be considered the ultimate human-designed weapon to fight the aliens. This gives you the Toxigun, a small, potent weapon, and Toxin A, a weak toxin, but better than nothing. Once you get a recharging weapon, you will NEVER go back to clip-based weapons, though, so you pretty much won't use this unless desperate to get through a heavily shielded opponent quickly. Toxin C, however, packs a punch.
