An Acid Bomb is an explosive weapon and utility item in XCOM 2.

An improved version of the Acid Grenade and comes with the same effects along with more damage and significant armor shred.

“	The chemical additive in the upgraded Acid Bomb is extremely corrosive, able to strip away most enemy armor immediately, while continuing to damage the target over time with chemical burns.	”
–In-game description

“	Acid bombs shred a significant amount of enemy armor, more than any other grenade type. Enemies burned by acid will take additional damage over multiple turns. Freezing acid burning enemies removes the acid burning effect.	”
