** "[[BeeBeeGun Insect Swarm]]" acts as a cross between Electrobolt (stuns enemies for a while) and Incinerate" (damage over time).

** The first game, ''VideoGame/BioShock1'': Every attack plasmid other then [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]], which deals physical damage by hitting enemies with objects, and there's some Gene Tonics that affect other attacks as well:

** Special mention goes to Tri Attack, a move that has an equal chance to burn, paralyze, or freeze, the only attack that can potentially afflict more then one status condition, though [[OneCurseLimit never more then one at once.]]

* Many attacks in ''VideoGame/DiceyDungeons'' do damage and inflict Status Effects at a certain value (usually 6) such as Whip for Burn[[note]]which burns your dice, which hurt you if you pick them up[[/note]], Hammer for Shock[[note]]which disables random equipment, and they need dice in order to be unshocked[[/note]], Toxic Ooze for Poison[[note]]which causes DamageOverTime[[/note]], Shovel for Weaken[[note]]which downgrades random equipment[[/note]], etc.

** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankGoingCommando'' had upgrades for some weapons costing with 4 Platimu Bolts apiece that would count as this. There would be Acid Mod (a DamageOverTime effect) and Shock Mod, which is also [=DoT=] with added bonus of jumping on nearby enemies and damaging them. These would be inflicted in addition to damage done by attack itself.
** These return in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankApYourArsenal'' and are now obtained by leveling up weapons instead of by buying. There is also Infector which doesn't do a whole lot of damage but brainwashes targets to attack your enemies.

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': When equipped with the Sandman bat, the Scout can hit a mildly damaging baseball at enemies as a secondary function. For its first few iterations, the baseball could [[ControllableHelplessness stun, slow, and disable weaponry for opponents for a brief period, effectively forcing the victim to act as they would when they lose a match]]. However, if hit from a long enough distance, a Sandman ball could force a victim to stop in place entirely for the duration of the effect. [[https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=33661 The Jungle Inferno Update]] changed the Sandman to its present-day state: now, the ball merely slows opponents, with distance only determining how long the single effect lasts.
