How to Unlock It
Steel & Sons ACR is a reward from the Broken Rain Incursion. Clear the incursion with a squad - see the Broken Rain Incursion guide for boss mechanics and the Day One clear. The incursion key chest resets weekly, so plan repeat clears around the reset.
Confirm and Execute, Explained
Body shots add one stack to the enemy for 10 seconds, up to 4 stacks, and each stack gives +4% amplified damage. Hitting a different enemy removes all stacks, so stay on target. Your next headshot consumes all stacks for +11% amplified damage per stack. Destroying an enemy weakpoint makes them take +30% amplified damage from you for 5 seconds, which pairs perfectly with the cash-out headshot.
Build Tips
The ACR runs at 420 RPM with a 45m optimal range and 60% headshot damage, so it plays like a precision rifle with a rifle magazine. Stack rifle damage and critical-hit damage - the rifle cores come fixed on the weapon. Aim for weakpoints first for the +30% window, build 4 stacks, then cash out with a headshot. For full setups see tested Division 2 builds.
