"to everyone planning on using these mods. tell me, which essential mod will you remove to put these in?"

There are not that many essential mods for pistols. For pistols? Barrel Diffusion, Hornet Strike, No Return, Lethal Torrent and maybe Ice Storm (or Deep Freeze). The other two elemental mods? Depends on what pistol you're using. For the throwing knives, perhaps. They can be considered essential if you're comfortable with the aiming. Acrid, Bronco Prime or Embolist? Heated Charge and Convulsion are not that useful on them. Elemental damage is reduced by armor and with weapons like those 3, you really can't aim for unprotected body parts. So a mod like this is going to benefit you a lot more than elemental damage which will only be useful for 'cc' at higher levels (and that's the only time you really need the extra damage). Freeze will still be relatively useful for shield damage.

Anyway, even if you used all the mods I listed above, you still have space for 1 more. At that point you have the choice between the respective faction damage mod, utility like fire rate or magazine size, or Magnum Force.
