gas does DOT damage like flames do, and they stack together. so gas grenades or gas strike or dog breath + torcher or cookout is a really good combo.

gas wont kill anything but light enemies quickly, but it does still do damage to medium and heavy enemies. many medium enemies can die to gas if they stay in it long enough.

Gas DOT damage used to be much better than fire DOTs but then they nerfed its damage when they gave it the confuse effect so it was a fair tradeoff. Gas grenades, dog breath and orbital gas strike are all really good against bugs and squids. its not as useful against bots but still effective against them especially on berzerker constellations.

gas mines are really good on defensive missions too like rocket defense.
