Acrid's Vicious Wounds attack animation can be cancelled and reset by initiating a dash. This allows Acrid to attack extremely quickly with no items. In Development Thoughts #11 it was noted this behavior will likely get removed.
Acrid's Poison can't kill on its own.
- This makes items that can finish off low health enemies very effective, such as Tri-Tip Dagger and Old Guillotine.
Poisoning the boss or bosses via Neurotoxin and Epidemic and then running away while the poison ticks is a great tactic.
Acrid's Epidemic gives Acrid great early-game AOE damage. When combined with items such as the Ukulele...and his music was electric.

Intentionally shooting Epidemic at the floor or walls can allow you to reliably hit flying Monsters such as Lesser Wisps.

The challenge necessary to unlock Acrid, "...To be left alone" is a reference to Acrid's victory screen from the first Risk of Rain, which reads "...And so it left, with a new hunger: to be left alone."
Acrid is referred to internally as "Croco"
