Anyway to destroy the floaty magnetic rock thingies on the Volcano biome?

[Vash the Stampede]

Title pretty much sums it up, there's some dialog about "Maybe dissolving them in a strong acid", but couldn't find anything that would destroy them, there's a titanium vein that I really wanna mine up...but one of these stupid rocks is preventing me from building on it...anyone found the way to get rid of them yet?

There's an acid-sprayer gun in alien research. You probably need to do the acid swamp reconnaissance to unlock it.
I also found that nuclear missiles did the job, though that may be because I had an acid damage mod on it.

Corrosion gun. In alien research tab, you have to unlock it.

Equip any weapon that does acid damage natively or a mod that increases acid damage.

I got a SMG that has an acid damage mod on it and it can break those magnetic rocks in short order.

Interesting...so i guess the acid DoT mod i have on my weapons isn't helping, it has to be an actual acid damage mod then?

I had acid DoT on my nuke. Try shooting it more.

They have a lot of HP, and while DoTs will do their initial damage it does not keep going. So just keep shooting it.

I just put 4000 rounds with my minigun with a 20% acid DoT mod in it to no avail =(

But sounds like i just need to get to the acid plains and unlock the goo-pew-pew gun!

Well next time you get a straight acid damage mod give it a go on a decently high power weapon.

Acid DOT adds acid damage over time, but it does not change the original attack type.
So the original attack does nothing.
And thus, the DOT never happens.

You need something that does straight up acid damage.

Pretty sure the gravity grenades also work.
