The Venom Rounds are an Ammo Utility Item in XCOM 2.

• Only one Ammo item can be equipped onto a soldier at a time.

• Only Primary and Secondary (Pistols and Autopistols) firearms receive the ammo effect.

• Only successful shots benefit from the ammo effect (missed shots with Stock weapon upgrade do not apply the debuffs or status effects and the damage is not increased).

• The Munitions Experts Resistance Order can complete this item instantly from the Experimental Ammo pool.

• The Convoy Ambush Resistance Rumor can randomly reward this item from the Experimental Ammo pool (alongside a random Experimental Grenade).

Notes

• Inflicts Poisoned, which does additional 1 damage, lasts up to 5 turns, and severely reduces the Aim and Mobility of those afflicted.
  • Has no effect against enemies immune to poison.
