The Infection is a Seraph pistol manufactured by Maliwan.

Special Weapon Effects

Itchy. Tasty. – Extremely high elemental effect damage/chance, but extremely low projectile damage. Projectiles travel in a slight arc and at a low velocity. Projectiles explode after travelling a certain distance. Always corrosive.

Usage & Description

What the Infection lacks in raw power, it makes up for in DoT. The Infection has the highest elemental damage-per-second in the game, and is extremely effective against armored enemies such as Loaders. However, it is next to useless against enemies it can't corrode. It is also impossible to use at long range, due to it's velocity and detonating after a set distance. Against non-armored targets, it can still stack a strong amount of DoT even though it will be resisted.

Trivia

  • The red text, "Itchy. Tasty." is a reference to and quote from Resident Evil.
  • It is also worth noting that if a Siren with 5 points invested in Flicker and a class mod that boosts Flicker by 5 points (namely the Legendary Siren class mod), it is possible to have a 100% chance of inflicting corrosive DoT with the Infection.
