Acid Shells is a Weapon Augment Mod exclusive to the  Sobek and  Kuva Sobek that causes enemies killed by the Sobek to explode, dealing a flat amount of  Corrosive damage plus a percentage of the enemy's maximum health as  Blast damage in an area of effect.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • Explosion has linear damage falloff from 100% to 0% from the central enemy.
  • Explosion requires line of sight. Enemies can directly block other enemies from being affected.
  • The explosion itself cannot apply  Corrosive procs.
  • The explosion caused by Acid Shells can proc into itself and create another explosion on kill, creating a chain reaction that lead to very large areas being cleared.
  • The explosion damage does not account for the bonus health given to enemies in The Steel Path, Archon Hunt, Deep Archimedea, and similar modes.
  • Enemies killed by Acid Shells will have their corpses disintegrate.

Tips[edit | edit source]

  • Due to the nature of this mod, prioritizing heavy units will result in other enemies taking high damage or dying due to the resulting explosion, reducing the time to kill entire crowds significantly.
  • Modding the  Sobek for  Corrosive or  Viral damage and punch through can be effective to soften up enemies at higher levels with procs before the explosion occurs, thus amplifying the damage inflicted by Acid Shells' burst.
  • Against the Infested, this mod scales tremendously well since most of them have no armor.
  • Acid Shells will trigger  Saryn's  Toxic Lash.
  • Faction damage mods and  Rhino's  Roar directly affect the mod's explosion damage.
    • In addition, abilities that increase damage on enemies or debuff them such as  Banshee's  Sonar,  Nova's  Molecular Prime, or  Saryn's  Spores can indirectly enhance it.
    •  Garuda's  Seeking Talons will cause the explosions to apply  Slash effects, which are considered Sobek damage and thus can trigger Acid Shells again on kill. Because this combo scales with enemy health and ignores armor, it remains effective at any level as long as the Sobek can still kill an enemy to start the reaction.
  • The AOE affects breakable containers as well, giving an effect similar to  Looter as long as there are enemies around to proc the explosion.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Prior to Hotfix 18.10.6 (2016-05-06), this mod's polarity was Zenurik.
  • This mod, along with the other Executioner mods, are the second set mods to feature non-generic enemies on the mod card, the first being  Vengeful Revenant.
  • At the time of Operation: Rathuum's announcement, this mod was referred to as Execution Shells, likely an earlier name for the mod. This initially caused confusion with players trying to look for the nonexistent mod.
  • The mod is used by Executioner Nok, although his version can remove armor.
