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.

  • Damage Type: Toxin A
  • Ammo: 16

“Ammunition for Toxigun. It contains a lethal fast acting poison designed to target Alien life forms. It is not so effective against the more advanced bipedal Alien types.”

Toxigun B-Clip

Toxin B (UFOpaedia).png

Toxin B is a step up from Toxin A, but still not as potent as Toxin C. I don't suggest going into mass manufacturing until you have successfully created Toxin C and have the resources to mass-manufacture the toxin.

  • Size: 1 × 1
  • Weight: 1
  • Power: 65
  • Damage Type: Toxin B
  • Ammo: 16
  • Range: 50m
  • Manufacturer: X-COM
  • Manufacturing Price: $300
  • Base Sale Price: $700
  • Maximum Weekly Stock: 16
  • Battlescape Score: 2

“Ammunition for Toxigun. It contains a lethal fast acting poison designed to target Alien lifeforms. It effectively renders the earlier A-type toxin obsolete because it is more powerful and more effective against the higher Alien life forms.”

Toxigun C-Clip

Toxin C (UFOpaedia).png

Toxin C. This is the pinnacle of anti-alien warfare. A couple of shots will render even the hardiest Megaspawn dead at your feet. A great weapon, to be sure, but still lacks the ability to recharge. I use Devastator Cannons more often than this, but it is a good weapon nonetheless. NEVER use this weapon if you cannot mass-manufacture Toxin C. Otherwise your troops will end up without ammunition, which tends to put a damper on your success in battles.

“Ammunition for Toxigun. A fast acting poison which targets all Alien life forms with equally devastating effects. This toxin effectively supersedes the A or B types.”
