Chryssalid Poison is a status effect in XCOM 2. It can be inflicted on any biological target that isn't immune to Poisoned by the melee attack of a Chryssalid. It doesn't function like the Poisoned status effect, inflicting no penalties, but it does more damage (1-3). Just like regular poison, it can be cured by using a medikit, medical protocol, or extracting.
Chryssalid Poison lasts indefinitely until it is cured or the poison kills the unit. Upon being killed, the unit's corpse becomes A Chryssalid Cocoon. Therefore, it is highly recommended to cure Chryssalid Poison whenever it is inflicted on one of your soldiers.
Effects[]
- 1-3 damage per turn
- Spawns a Chryssalid Cocoon when the unit is killed
