Understand Acid Shells
Useful when…
- Adding an on-death area damage effect to a Sobek setup.
- Considering the 10 m radius when enemies may be near one another.
Explosion effect and ranks
At rank 0, enemies explode on death for 75 Corrosive damage plus 8% of enemy maximum Health in a 10 m radius. At rank 3, this becomes 300 damage plus 30%; at rank 5, 450 damage plus 45%. The percentage is based on enemy maximum Health, not a stated bonus to Sobek’s weapon damage.
Compatibility and mod details
Acid Shells is an Uncommon Sobek mod with Madurai polarity, maximum rank 5, and base drain 4. It uses a standard slot.
Rank costs
Listed fusion examples are 20 Endo and 966 credits from rank 0 to 1, 80 Endo and 3,864 credits from rank 2 to 3, and 320 Endo and 15,456 credits from rank 4 to 5. The listed damage and Health-percentage values rise with rank; the radius remains 10 m.
Other Sobek mod effects
Clip Delegation grants Status Chance and Multishot to the next magazine on reload, based on shots landed with the current magazine and up to 15 stacks. Shattering Justice grants +90% Status Chance and +1 Justice. These are distinct effects from Acid Shells’ on-death explosion.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The effect requires an enemy death and has a 10 m radius.
- The mod is listed for Sobek and uses a standard slot.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the enemy maximum Health percentage as a bonus to Sobek’s weapon damage.
