Sludge weapons are capable of splashing toxic sludge onto multiple surfaces, but cannot be applied to enemies directly. Once a sludge projectile hits an object, it will create a puddle of varying size underneath the spot it hit, dealing damage to any enemies standing on it. The death animation from sludge damage is a grisly scene where light green acid splashes off the victim as they are quickly melt.
Sludge can be formed by many objects and creatures:
- Guns are the most obvious, as sludge can be found firing from any weapon type.
- Barrels which are brownish green in color contain sludge and explode, releasing a large pool of sludge when ignited.
- Grenades can also deal sludge damage if a "Sludge" upgrade is on the equipped Grenade Mod.
- Creatures can also have the ability to generate sludge. All creatures capable of creating sludge are also immune to sludge.
- Action Skills can be enhanced by a sludge artifact, creating the sludge effect when used on enemies.
