Tips[]
- The Akvasto has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces, making it a prime candidate for a Desecrating Nekros to bring along, as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.
- The reduced accuracy of the Akvasto is a byproduct of its faster firing rate. When pinpoint accuracy is required at a distance, consider pausing between shots to steady your weapon and allow for more consistent aiming.
