mm...kinda depends on your primary. if i have a good shotgun i dont really need the brakk (although i think brakk could out dps the strun wraith, given you have total 180% multishot with lethal torrent+barrel diffusion. and since hornet strike can have damage scaling higher than shotguns cuz point blank only gives up to 90% more damage. you will have less armor piercing damage though, which can go up to 150% on shotguns, but the crit change, extra damage, and crit damage of the brakk makes up for it anyway)

acrid will still out dps the brakk, but only if the fight will be dragged out (high level boss) onto a single target. like some poster above me said, brakk would offer better CC, but on a single target, over time the Acrid will win in DPS. bring brakk for regular mobs or larger groups, and acrid as the boss killer.

or both, cuz both are great, brakk can pretty much qualify as endgame weapon with it's capabilities, even if it's bullet damage. oh before about the shotgun part, i just read in the tips too that pistols dont have damage falloff like shotguns do, so this actually pretty much out-does the strun wraith lol, which imo is the best shotgun in the game. for those who can no longer obtain it, then the brakk is way better than any shotty.

um back on track, brakk for groups of enemies, acrid for bosses/super high mobs that will take several shots to down (triple digit, like 120s lol. them t3 defenses...)

once the brakk isn't one shotting, and it starts taking up to 3 or 4 shots, acrid i think will be better since you can still shoot so many rounds per second, with all that poison+elemental DoT and the multishots which can give even more shots per second...blah.

my final advice: do what you want. if you bothered reading all that junk i typed, you can see there isn't a right answer to this. it's all personal preference and efficiency :P
