New explosion FX happening close to the player drastically reduces performance with Akarius.

[Eljdar]

Since the change, Akarius' explosions have been consistently reducing my FPS when they happen near me. It happens both at maximum settings possible, as well as the lowest, if only slightly less. It can make me go from a stable 60 fps to as low as 30. Further testing has shown that it doesn't happen to any other weapon, only Akarius, likely due to the sheer volume of explosions it creates when combined with Multishot modifiers.

Could you please do something to the explosions created by Akarius? The new explosions looks really nice, but the way they make the performance drop makes it hard to enjoy either them or the weapon.

Thanks in advance.
