Chem Launcher

The Chem Launcher is a piece of SHD Technology which serves as a skill in Tom Clancy's The Division 2''. According to the Tom Clancy's The Division 2 official website, ''the Chem Launcher shoots various chemicals that disperse upon impact to produce various effects. It's effects vary, from explosive vapors and corrosive acids to replacing nanobots - choose wisely and neutralize any situation. Certain chemicals launched by this skill can catch on fire when shot at. The skill is also similar to the pod launching skills.

The Chem Launcher replaced the Sticky Bomb from the first game.

Functionality
The Chem Launcher shoots canisters of various chemicals which disperse upon impact to produce a variety of effects.

Modifications
The Chem Launcher has four variants: Firestarter, Riot Foam, Oxidizer, and Reinforcer.

Firestarter
The firestarter canister sends out flammable, near-invisible gas. These gas clouds can be ignited with any spark—bullet impacts, enemies firing their weapons inside the cloud, explosions or even enemies running into them while on fire. If you combine multiple clouds over a large area, you can create devastating chain reactions.

The Firestarter Variant uses red-colored canisters (though the gas cloud is clear when launched).

Riot Foam
This skill fires a canister with riot control foam that disperses on impact. The foam is sticky, heavy, and it expands rapidly. Anyone affected by the foam is stuck in place for a period of time, but the hardened foam can be destroyed to break them free.

The Riot Foam variant uses dark beige-colored canisters.

Oxidizer
The Oxidizer fires a canister that emits a cloud of corrosive chemicals. The chemical cloud lingers for a long time and efficiently eats away at the armor and health of enemies caught within its radius, as well as damage devices such as health stations, turrets, and drones.

The Oxidizer can be used to reliably damage enemies that are behind cover, as well as push them out of it, and can be devastating when fired at enemy spawn points. It can also be used to great effect against Rusher and Tank archetypes, due to the predictability of the former's movements and the slow and sluggishness of the latter's.

Despite these advantages, the Oxidizer's a double edged sword, as the player can be damaged from the clouds, and it can be fatal if the player shoots at their own cover by accident, or clip an unintentional target at close range. The Oxidizer's canisters are colored purple.

Reinforcer
The Reinforcer fires a projectile that detonates and disperses an armor repairing cloud. If this powder hits you or your teammates, it restores an amount of your armor. Powder that sticks on the ground grants armor restoration over time. You have the ability to heal your friends very fast, or even yourself over time.

The Reinforcer can even be used by the Agent similarly as the First Aid, by dropping the Reinforcer (via double tapping the assigned button) in their vicinity to heal themselves and regenerate their armor. The Reinforcer variant uses green-colored canisters.
