OK, here's maybe strange request, but it's request about making the Acid spitter, the cool gun, more useful, as I found it in the Vaults and it was totally useless till the end of the game:
two basic ideas;
1) as there is totally no acid about 20 lev (I didn't find any), nor acid barrels, only lava - after finding it all lava becomes acid, or make it liquid spitter, and possible lava as well acid.
2) allow add nano mod to this weapon
Or mabye something else you may think of to make this weapon more usable, as it's a pity to be unable to use such a fun gun... :'( Any?

I agree that it's a shame how little use one is likely to get out of the Acid Spitter, but I don't think carrying it should affect the level generation algorithm, and I suspect making it have "smart" loading properties would be too much work for DoomRL 1. (A possibility to consider for DRL2, perhaps.)

That said, the occasional "acidic swamp" level in Hell might make an interesting contrast to all the lava.

Aw yeah. Acidic swamp levels populated by nothing but huge hordes of knights & barons.

Levels 18+ are supposed to generate acid barrels about 20% of the time.  That's pretty much the only way to get acid after The Vaults (also: acid levers).

So... I think the chances of being able to use the Acid Spitter if you find it in The Vaults is a bit low but not enough to make it useless.

Yes.
