'''Alien Gas Grenade'''
Once you have [[toxin C | Toxin C (Apocalypse)]] and captured the [[Queenspawn]] alive, you can research Alien Gas. In honesty, this comes in the game so late you barely get to use it. However, if you feel the need, there are three different delivery systems for this gas. The first is the grenade. Duh. It explodes, aliens choke and run from cover into your glowing [[Devastator Cannon]]s or prickly [[Biological Warfare (Apocalypse)|toxigun]]s, or they stay hidden and die. Either way, you win. The second is the Heavy Missile. This is a missile for [[Marsec]]'s [[Marsec Heavy Launcher|Heavy Launcher]] which has a one shot per missile limit. Oh well. Good enough when you need it, I guess. The last is the Mini Missile, which is a missile for Marsec's [[Marsec Minilauncher|Minilauncher]]. This has 5 shots, but still has the same effect as the grenade.
The gas cloud released by any of these delivery methods will cause massive damage to [[Alien Life Forms (Apocalypse)|alien life forms]]. Like [[Megapol Stun Grenade|stun grenades]], it cuts right through [[Personal Disruptor Shield|energy shields]]. As advertised, it does not harm humans, so it's safe to toss indiscriminately and use as a smoke screen. Powerful stuff. It's too bad that the last few missions do not have much enclosed space or chokepoints, slightly reducing the effectiveness of the gas.
Anti-Alien Gas in a grenade format offers the advantage of not needing a [[Marsec_Heavy_Launcher|heavy]] or [[Marsec_MiniLauncher|Mini]] launcher. It is useful for killing large groups of alien lifeforms. This pink gas is [[Biological_Warfare_(Apocalypse)|Toxin-C]] in aerosol form.
