Acrid Can't Damage Explosive Barrels

[Madotsuki]

Title says it all, the Acrid's needles cannot damage explosive barrels at all. I'm guess it's most likely a bug and not intended. Please fix :/

Actually, per the statistics of the gun, it's completely intended. The Acrid deals toxic damage on both the initial hit and as part of the DoT — toxic damage can't destroy explosive barrels. It's likely programmed this way so that toxic ancients (or crawlers) don't blow them up when wandering near them.

 

Of course, there's always a way to fix this without having ancients blow themselves up, but it seems like it's not technically a bug, either.
