CODEX
Acrid fires an acidic-infused needle.

The **Acrid** is a Grineer weapon unlockable through Bio Lab Research in the dojo. It is a toxic weapon system that delivers toxin-filled flechettes, rather similar to the rounds from the Boltor.

This weapon can be sold for 2,500File:Credits64.png‍ **2,500**.
ERROR: Conclave:Acrid not found

## Characteristics

This weapon deals  damage.

**Advantages:**

* Innate  damage.
	+ 25% bonus damage to Ferrite Armor - effective against Grineer units equipped with it.
	+ Toxin damage ignores Shields and deals 50% bonus damage to Flesh - effective against Corpus.
	+ Has 100%  proc chance on each hit, which occurs in addition to procs from the weapon's status chance.
* Fast reloading speed.
* High rate of fire.
* Perfect accuracy.
* Decent ammo efficiency due to the damage over time effect.
* No recoil.
* Can use the Acrid-exclusive {{#vardefine:Name|Toxic Sequence}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found mod.

**Disadvantages:**

* Needles have a travel time.
	+ Delay and small size of the needles can make it difficult to hit moving targets at a distance.
* Damage cannot be increased with ,  or  mods.
* May take time to completely kill enemies, if relying on DoT.
* Cannot proc  status more than once per bullet. Thus, the 10% status chance will only proc if the weapon is modded with additional elements.
* DoT is only affected by **base** damage and  damage (adding elemental damage besides  will not increase it)
* damage deals less damage to Robotics, Machinery and Fossilized.
* Low critical chance.

## Notes

* As of a recent update, the Acrid is no longer silent. It appears to be actually quite loud in game terms. This can still be countered by using the {{#vardefine:Name|Suppress}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found mod.
* The Acrid leaves a stackable damage-over-time (DoT) effect due to its  proc, which ticks 9 times over 9 seconds. Each tick deals Toxin damage.
* Enemies disintegrate when killed, similar to Saryn's Miasma. This effect is unique to the Acrid and is not shared with other  weapons like the Torid or the Embolist.
* As of {{#vardefine:Update|Update 10.3 }}{{#var:Update}}, the toxin mixture in the barrel is affected by the Acrid's energy color, and the tiny explosion effect on needle impact. Note that the explosion effect is purely cosmetic.
* Even if the weapon is modded to no longer deal  damage on-hit, toxin mods like {{#vardefine:Name|Pathogen Rounds}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found still increase the damage of the  DoT.
* Considering its accuracy and effectiveness, slotting a {{#vardefine:Name|Pistol Ammo Mutation}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found won't be necessary unless you're playing long sessions of Survival or Defense.
* Despite its incredibly high base accuracy the Acrid's accuracy value is heavily degraded by {{#vardefine:Name|Magnum Force}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found well beyond what the mod's penalty would suggest, making the weapon highly inaccurate as a result.
* **To clarify on how the weapon proc works:** the weapon will proc toxin on every single shot, even if another elemental status procs. So if you mod the weapon to deal only corrosive damage using an electricity mod, the weapon will proc toxin on every shot, and have a chance for corrosive procs. The proc chance listed on the weapon is actually for any other elemental damage that is created by the weapon. It cannot proc toxin twice with one shot.

## Tips

* Because no bullet can proc the same status twice, status chance only comes into play when additional elements are added. To take advantage of this status chance, add other elemental mods such as to create a chance for  procs on top of  procs.
* Semi-automatic firing can be countered by simply adding an alternative way of firing on 'scroll up' or 'scroll down' through the key binding customization.
* Getting headshots will not only double the damage of the weapon, but double the resulting damage ticks as well.
* {{#vardefine:Name|Toxic Sequence}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found can cause proc length to triple; stacking shots quickly on enemies will cause their health to quickly succumb to thousands of damage a second, with players able to stack many shots at once before the first damage tick expires.

## Trivia

* Before {{#vardefine:Update|Update 10.0 }}{{#var:Update}}, equipping Saryn, Mire, Torid and Acrid would give you the only loadout consisting solely of toxin-based attacks.
* As of {{#vardefine:Update|Update 15.5 }}{{#var:Update}} the Acrid is physically the largest handgun in Warframe.
* One definition for "acrid" is "sharp and harsh or unpleasantly pungent in taste or odor", likely owing to the gun's toxin-based damage.
* The Acrid has File:Grineer O.svgFile:Grineer B.svgFile:Grineer E.svgFile:Grineer Y.svg written in Grineer near the barrel, this translates to "Obey".
* The Acrid also has File:Grineer R.svgFile:Grineer O.svgFile:Grineer T.svg written in Grineer near the bottom of the weapon, this translates to "Rot".
* Inside of a Chem Lab, a holographic Acrid can be seen, similar to many other Grineer weapons.
* The Acrid is the only non-Infested weapon available via the Bio Lab.
* A tiny Grineer emblem is visible on both sides of the weapon's receiver.
