Nox

The Nox is a type of Grineer "Chem Strike" unit. They wield a poison-filled heavy gun that shoots blobs of sludge which stick to targets and surfaces before exploding. Bloated and disfigured by the very chemicals they wield in combat, these vicious warriors wear crude, heavily armored suits that both protect them in the form of Overguard and serve to contain the noxious clouds they emit.
Breaking the glass cover protecting their heads removes their defenses, but releases the poisonous aura to their surroundings. Beware of their final moments, as they explode into a lethal cloud upon death.
==Behavior==
*The Nox wields what is effectively a primary version of the . As such, its projectiles have a low range and arc, which causes the Nox to have difficulty targeting his enemies from range.
*To counter its ineffectiveness at range, the Nox can charge forward, causing all in his path to be knocked down as well as allowing him to close the distance for his gun to be more effective. They only do this as a last resort, however, once their glass helmets are destroyed.
*Combined with the ability to emit a constant 3-m aura of damage when the helmet is broken, the charge allows the Nox to knock down Tenno, then deal damage directly to their health.
==Notes==
*Breaking the Nox's glass helmet will immediately remove all of their Overguard.
*The Nox's projectiles can stick to the player and inflict a slowing effect, similar to a status effect, though less severe. The sludge can be shaken off by rolling.
*At base level, the Nox's projectiles on contact deal 20 . Blobs tick for 3 damage every second for 4 seconds. The blob explodes after 4 seconds, dealing 30 in an AoE.
==Trivia==
*The name is a shortened version of Noxious, meaning poisonous or very unpleasant.
*The Grineer letters on its shoulders say "Noks" and the letters on its gun say "goo".
*The  from the Dog Days Tactical Alert appears to be based on the Nox's weapon, with the notable difference of being filled with water instead of deadly poison.
==Bugs==
*A led Nox will still hurt players with his toxic cloud when his helmet is broken.
*The goo stuck to the players will still slow them even if it's from a friendly Nox (such as the allied ones from an invasion).
*Despite the codex showing a base armor value of 250, the base armor value of the Demolisher Nox is 50.
