LEFTNUT Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hi guys, I recently got my acrid and I just can't get enough of it... So I'm thinking about forma'ing it till doom. What would you guys suggest? Show your builds with a screenshot if you have the patience! Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchemistjkt Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 do people really need to ask for a best build on this gun? it should be very obvious as to how to build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sillick Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I think a better answer is... if you can't kill something with ANY build you chose for this weapon... there's something wrong with you as a Tenno. But on a serious answer sidenote: split chamber, all damage mods, and anything else you find personally useful. AFTERTHOUGHT: I added Lethal Torrent on mine to throw up my split chamber to 180%... AKA 3 darts. Edited August 22, 2013 by Sillick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtexas Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I don't find why everyone thinks the Acrid is so "great" I personally found it to be rather boring to use. I prefer Dual broncos/Bronco Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchemistjkt Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Basic build and a pic... wow. i guess people really do need to ask how to build it. *faith in humanity dwindling* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEFTNUT Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I don't understand why the hate. I have my acrid formaed once for now and was expecting to see if there's anything that I could be missing. I guess not by the replies. Still if anyone thinks different, share your thoughts.

About the only thing that could be changed is adding lethal torrent to the build Serero showed you by dropping Deep freeze or Quickdraw.

Archistopheles Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) wow. i guess people really do need to ask how to build it. *faith in humanity dwindling* Hey smarty-pants: Just name off 8 different mods and be on your merry way.

Tyrian3k Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 About the only thing that could be changed is adding lethal torrent to the build Serero showed you by dropping Deep freeze or Quickdraw. If you use Lethal Torrent, you don't use Gunslinger on Acrid. Nobody could even click fast enough without an autoclicker. 4 mods you always have on the weapon: Hornet Strike, Barrel Diffusion, Lethal Torrent and No Return. 2 Mods Specific to the faction you fight: e.g. Expel Infested and Heated Charge against Infested. 1 Freeze mod: I prefer Ice Storm because of the larger clip size here. 1 Utility mod: Quickdraw or Ammo Mutation depending on the mission type. Ammo Mutation is mostly for defense, but also helpful in T3 Void where Ammo isn't that common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronknor Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 this is how i built up my acrid: You really don't need gunslinger since the fire rate is fine, IMO it's a waste of mod points on a semi auto anyways. if you need something that fires fast, use a full auto primary then, or a decent burst rifle with speed trigger on it. Icestorm or ice rounds if you don't have icestorm (ice passes through shields, making the dot effect hit point on, rather than firing several shots). Armor piercing. Hornet Strike. And Barrel Diffusion. Anything else is depends on what you're up against and how many times you're willing to forma's it as well. But that's pretty much all you need for acrid.

LazyKnight Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) If you use Lethal Torrent, you don't use Gunslinger on Acrid. Nobody could even click fast enough without an autoclicker. I would use a different build, was just suggesting dropping anything for lethal and just gave two non essential mods to axe. I would use a different build anyway that drops heated/convulsion and focus on Ice and AP and on a build that doesn't get effected by armor. Very few builds could fail with that gun and it would be harder to mess up than a despair. Edited August 23, 2013 by LazyKnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeripheralVisionary Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 People find it great only because it has an extremely high dps, the highest in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFate Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) 4 Forma + Catalyst build. You have 2 points left to max Hornet Strike. Edited August 23, 2013 by FrozenFate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
