State-4's status effect is poison. I've decided against poison making the character take damage over time since fire already does that and I have so few status effects than having them overlap doesn't feel like the best idea to me. Instead, poison lowers all of your offensive-related stats. gun fire speed, piercing, critical hit chance, damage. It's also harder to get poisoned than to get afflicted by other ailments.
In State-4, enemies drip bubbles of poison and poison flows around in rooms in various patterns, so the player will have to be careful to avoid taking unnecessary damage while exploring!
