Tips and Strategies
Use Shock Traps and Acid Arrows to Defeat Acid Bristlebacks
The Acid Bristlebacks are weak to Shock damage, so setting up Shock Traps in their path before they notice you is an easy way to pick them off.
If you have upgraded your Hunter Bow to have Acid Arrows to deal Acid Damage, you can also shoot the Canisters on their backs with Acid Arrows to start a Chain Reaction, dealing explosive damage.
