Don't listen to all these damage whores telling you this gun is bad or useless. The most important thing with any weapon in warframe (as long as the weapon isn't badly designed from the start) is how you mod it. The second important thing is how you use it. Not all those nuke'em weapons are better in every situation.

For example, I find acrid one of the best secondary weapons when modded with viral and using it in close quarter combat. In close combat It's better than things like soma (ammo and accuracy issues). It's better than explosive weapons (chance to blow yourself up, visiblity issues). It's better than most snipers (slow rate of fire, aim needs to count on every shot and must hit in specific spots). Bows are better but not everyone is comfortable with the charging of a bow to do excellent damage.

So point is, every weapon has it's place where it shines. If you want to fight long range, this gun is garbage. If you like close combat with high use of parkour while shooting, this gun is top 3 best secondary, not for damage but all the other important factors when shooting a gun (accuracy, ammo efficiency, control, speed, status effects/procs, sustained damage on stuff you can't kill with one shot even with the hardest hitting weapons in the game, feel, no obstruction of visibility etc.)

So my advice to anyone wondering about this gun. Get it, level it, play around with modding it. If you want to rank up MR, you'll have to level it up anyway.
