This change fixes an issue where Toxin Terrorists would deal an additional 200 damage prior to researching Anthrax Gamma. It does not make sense that the Anthrax Gamma upgrade makes the Toxin Terrorist perform worse. Toxin Terrorists now always deal the same damage as the Stealth and Vanilla variants, regardless of Anthrax grade.

In addition, and just as importantly, Toxin Terrorists no longer blow up nearby Toxin Terrorists (or random allies) via the additional 200 damage.

Before

Only three Toxin Terrorists are required to take out a War Factory

BEFORE.mp4

The additional 200 damage can hit nearby Toxin Terrorists, which blows them up

BEFORE.mp4

The additional 200 damage randomly kills nearby allies

BEFORE.mp4

After

Four Toxin Terrorists are now required to take out a War Factory

AFTER.mp4

Toxin Terrorists no longer blow each other up

AFTER.mp4

Nearby allies are no longer randomly killed

Even though EA already documented the intent, it will be good if we make clear that this intent is now implemented after 1.04 by this patch
