Confirmed that ticks are NOT affected by body part modifiers. So, this means that only about 40% of the damage this weapon does is affected by the body part modifier while 100% of despair's damage is. The exception here, I believe, is ancients were acrid's damage is modified by body part and despair is not. Am I wrong?

For me, this is a generel win for despair again.

I am starting to wonder what a video of boss fights with a despair modded the same way as the dude below would look like. I couldn't find one. Has anyone else?

Seems to me with this information that the ONLY thing acrid would do better at is killing ambulas due to the x3 multiplier.

Finally, it should be noted that in a recent update the acrid is no longer laser accurate, if it ever was. The projectile spread of these weapons seems almost identical to me. Again, this is a win for the despair, IMO, because it is fully automatic - mitigating some of the innaccuarcy with sheer projectile volume.

PLEASE someone prove me wrong on this. The acrid is getting so much hype and the math doesn't seem to pan out unless I am missing something huge here....
