In-game description

Gas Grenade:

“	A fast acting toxin allows the Gas Grenade to deal damage over a much larger area than our standard frag grenade, and any organic units caught in the blast radius will suffer the additional debilitating effects of poison over an extended period of time.	”
– In-game description

Gas Bomb:

“	The toxin delivery system in the upgraded Gas Bomb extends the initial explosive radius even further, damaging all enemy targets and applying an additional poison effect to any organic enemies caught in the blast.	”

Notes

• Poisons units in the blast area, also leaving a gas cloud that will poison any non-immune enemy or ally moving through it. Poison cloud lasts for the next 3 turns.
• Units that are immune to poison will still take the grenade explosion damage and armor shred.
• Does not destroy cover. However, the gas cloud left by the grenade will expand even through walls.
