The Corrosion Injector is a warfare device. When activated within 600m of a locked target by default, it afflicts that target with corrosion, dealing shield-bypassing kinetic damage over time based on the player's level for at least 7.0s with a 26s or shorter cooldown.

Stat Scaling[ | ]

Several of Corrosion Injector's stats, including its kinetic damage per second (DPS) and corrosion effect duration, scale with device level as follows (level 6 is obtainable only via Stinger's Device Master special):

Device Level 1 2 3 4 5 6
Base Kinetic DPS

@ Player Level 1*

~15.3 ~16.6 ~17.9 ~19.2 ~20.4 ~21.7
Effect Duration 7.0s 8.0s 9.0s 10.0s 11.0s 12.0s
Activation Range 600m 620m 640m 660m 680m 700m
Base Cooldown 26s 25s 23s 22s 21s 20s

*After device level-based scaling is applied, kinetic DPS of this warfare device is scaled up by a factor of 1.13 ^ (player level - 1), then modified further by the Utility attribute's device kinetic damage bonus and rounded to the nearest whole number in order to produce the final kinetic DPS shown in-game.

Modes[ | ]

Using device upgrade tokens to purchase 4 device levels on Corrosion Injector masters the device, unlocking three additional device modes which may be cycled through at any time on the Ship screen.

  • Searing Demise: Increases the damage by 80% but reduces the duration by 50%.
  • Mercy Kill: Resets the cooldown if the target dies during the effect.
  • Caustic Trauma: Instantly deals all the remaining damage if the target takes collision damage.

Obtaining[ | ]

  • Multiple locations - Offered at the Flying Dutchess for 3100 credits.
  • Ceto Orbit - found in an abandoned base inside a large rock formation. See that page for details.
  • Ceto Transit Gate - found in a bulletproof container behind a door locked by two empty generators.

Notes[ | ]

  • The Mercy Kill mode provides a reliable way to maintain uptime on device-triggered effects such as Play It Safe's damage nullification and Stinger's third primary weapon hardpoint.
  • This devices effectiveness is greatly increased by several items and effects:
    • legendary sensor Visions of Decay: "Corrosion Injector deals 100% increased damage and will hit 3 additional enemies within 300m around the target."
      • Mercy Kill will only trigger with on the initial enemy targeted, not all three.
      • Multiple corrosion stacks can be more easily applied using Visions of Decay combined with Mercy Kill.
    • Blightmonger Set:
      • 2/4 set bonus: Enemies take 20% increased corrosion damage
      • 3/4 set bonus: Each stack of corrosion on an enemy grants you 1% armor regeneration per second
      • 4/4 set bonus: Targets affected by corrosion take 50% increased damage from your secondary weapons
      • Deteriorator: Critical hits apply their damage as Corrosion for 2s
    • Universal module modifiers: "5% increased corrosion damage" and "10% increased corrosion duration"
    • Stinger passive: 25% increased corrosion damage. [Exclusive]
  • A hostile elements can apply corrosion:
  • Hostile corrosion effects can be mitigated with:
  • Hazard Shield: Grants immunity to Corrosion while shield is up.
  • Sentinel passive: While shields are at least 50% charged, gain corrosion immunity. [Exclusive]
