"While it may not pack the punch of the average LMG, Rancor's Contagion unleashes a powerful burst of chemicals upon impact raining acid doom over a small area."
―Official Description

The Contagion is a mobile-exclusive [PREM] Version LMG added to SAS: Zombie Assault 4 in the 1.9 update. It costs $9.99. Although it is a ChemicalicoChemical weapon, it doesn't have DoT but instead fires explosive shots with a small radius.

Contrary to what the description says, the Contagion packs more than a punch than other LMGS. This weapon is one of the few that benefits from a mechanic known as "pierce-blast effect", where shots create a blast effect every time they pierce through a zombie. Each blast can also hit any nearby zombies, allowing for a single shot to hit the same target multiple times. As a result, the Contagion's crowd control potential is immense in the early-game, with enough dps to be a fantastic bossing weapon for low levels.

One more advantage is that this weapon don't require level condition. So you can buy this once and you can have new characters use it. It's really useful if you play Zombie Hotspot Contract as you can maul down a lot of zombie in just 2 minutes. It works best on the Uranium mine map.
