My Acrid Is Crap ?

[Ravisuca20]

well i have to take a break from warframe , i have come preety far got lots of resources and lots of frames and weapons . The point is that i have a acrid with 4 forma that dont do poison damage and the elemental damage is not there anymore ? What is going on it was a nerf?

Acrid has been ultra mega nerfed its the most useless weapon in the game.

R.I.P acrid 2012-2013

Go to wiki and learn more about dmg 2.0 

Many things have changed, as I heard Acrid power was toned down somewhat.

:(

You're not the only one who forma'd the "Acrid" 4-5 times. Still a nerf on one gun shouldnt cause you to "take a break".

[WarGrylls]

Ssssss... .yeeeah, the sidearm king got bull's eye'd by the nerf cannon. My opinion is that, even given the right element(s), the Acrid's full damage potential is around level 40 at best.

Main damage on Acrid was DoT - DoT broken - Acrid is now broken too.

[Kato-san]

Acrid still good, but you have to aim for the head.  Because the dot does 4x dmg to head shots.

My acrid still can kill some enemies in one shot..

As i was saying acrid is so weak even aklato can beat it, both dps and almost at dpshot, without headshot 4x bug

Try it after a hour on wendell.

[DiddlyMcGee]

i hope DE improves the dot on the dot weapons. damage 2.0 really messed the dot up

Acrid? It sounds so familiar.. I can't even re-

 

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE DETRON?

[Allenaattori]

Acrid against Corpus is incredible. If you mod it Toxin only.

 

[Tulzscha]

Moved to the proper section.

QFT. Ignores shields and good fire rate. It's brutal v corpus and will likely be the first secondary I potato.

They will continue to need guns which gets forma the most.

[Synthua]

All weapons that were good because they ignored armor have been dethroned. That being said, pure toxic damage ignores shields now, so gogo corpus-slayer.

New build for Acrid:

 

Hornet Strike

Multishot

Lethal Torrent

Bane Vs faction

 

+

 

Toxic Mod 1

Toxic Mod 2 (might not be available if you missed the event)

Magnum Force

Gunslinger

 

Bane mods and headshots increase the damage of the toxic dot exponentially. Landing only head shots makes this weapon close to the most DPS available to a sidearm.

[Brahmastra]

just sell it.

Oh so true. So what if it really only shines against corpus, if it MURDERS THEM SOOOO WELL....

 

no really, pure elements are underrated. and the acrid still does ok against grineer and infested if modded correctly.

 

BUT SHIELD IGNORE IS SOOOO GOOD. so good.

The following is all true:

Imo the weapon is still strong if modded "properly" - the DoT doesn't scale with other elemental damage anymore.
