## Notes

* When performing a charge attack, the Caustacyst throws a toxic wave in the direction of the player's aim. This wave will travel up to **20** meters, dealing  damage to all enemies it hits. The wave will also leave behind a temporary trail on the ground that deals  damage to enemies that stand on it
	+ Charge attack wave range is not affected by {{#vardefine:Name|Reach}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found or {{#vardefine:Name|Primed Reach}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found.
	+ The Charge attack wave seems to have innate punch through of an unknown range.
	+ Enemies hit by the weapon itself from a charge attack receive a guaranteed  proc.
	+ The wave inherits any elemental damage from mods and can proc their status effects, having an approximated 10% base status chance. The residual trail will not proc status.
* Enemies hit by the wave are also staggered, making them vulnerable to melee finishers (default E ) and susceptible to stealth damage multipliers.
	+ Enemies stunned by these pools do not have their alert status changed; enemies can be damaged by the pools and still be killed for stealth kills as long as their stun animation is still playing.
	+ This allows players to launch a pool, then launch up to 3 more charge attacks before the enemy can become alerted.
