Venom-X

The Venom-X is a special weapon in the Onslaught Downloadable content for Call of Duty: Ghosts for the second episode of Extinction, Nightfall.

The Venom-X is found in the Facility after destroying the hive blocking the room inside. There is no actual costs for the Venom-X, so every player will be able to have one without spending money. It doesn't take a weapon slot. For a free weapon it appears to be very effective against the majority of the aliens, but its major downside is its very low ammo count. The weapon cannot be replenished by normal ammo boxes. Players must kill Scorpions and collect the eggs that appear in its place. In-game it has handling similar to that of a grenade launcher, as you shoot first and detonate it when necessary. The resulting explosion leaves a cloud of corrosive gas that lingers and does damage over time, much like the gas clouds left by Scoprion attacks. This is in fact the best weapon to use against the Breeder as the final boss as the gas damage will continue to hit its head weakspot before it stumbles back and reveals its chest weakspot.

Players may not be able to pick up this weapon if the player is using the Pistols Only relic.
