Pathogen X (Gadget)

Pathogen X is a Throwing gadget introduced in the 17.2.0 Operation Red Mist update.
== Appearance ==
It has a metallic grey base with a glass case containing a sample of Pathogen X. When thrown, it will quickly form into a red mist cloud, slowly expanding and infecting any enemies in the cloud.
== Strategy ==
The gadget will slowly but effectively kill enemies if caught in the mist, in addition it will spread to their other teammates. The mist will disappear within 5 seconds of being deployed.
=== Tips ===
*The user throws it at an arc, meaning it cannot reach far distances, use this at close-medium range.
*Use it when there are multiple targets in one place, you will infect multiple players at the same time.
*The vial is useful for flushing enemies out of a position. Throw the vial into the general area the group of enemies are in and rush in.
* Use the long bleeding effect to deal additional damage to those infected.
=== Counters ===
*Avoid getting too close to your teammates once an enemy throws the grenade.
*When infected don't go too close to your teammates, otherwise they will contract the bleeding effect as well.
*Quickly switch to a high mobility weapon and flee if you see a bomb being thrown at your direction.
*Use a Medkit to stop the bleeding effect.
*Once you see the user throw it, run away from its arc.
