For the first one, throw the Experimental Gas grenade on a group of enemies, and as they kneel in the gas, they’ll get staggered and take a small amount of damage. That’s your cue. Kill them with your weapon, and it will count towards a toxic damage kill.

On the other hand, for the Brain Rot ammo mod, you must first equip it on your weapon. You can do this by simply clicking on the mod. After that, start shooting zombies. They will not only take toxic damage, but one of them will also turn into an ally that starts attacking nearby enemies, eventually exploding and giving you another toxic damage kill.
