Personally, I'd replace Deep Freeze with Ice Storm, and put Gunslinger in your empty slot. Then swap out the least effective elemental mod (Electricty or Fire), depending on the faction, for a faction mod. The reason being, most of Acrid's damage is in the DoT as you may know. That DoT targets the torso which is armored on the majority of enemies. That any high level enemy, when you'd actually need the elemental mods, is going to reduce your elemental damage to 0 (elemental damage is affected armor regardless of the weapon's base damage). So putting all 4 elements doesn't really do that much. Just stick with Freeze for shields, and another one for some extra damage on your needle impact, and for stun/cc.

(when I say elemental, I am not including armor piercing)
