Tap A next to it. It should say, if it didn't then the game probably bugged.

As far as tactics go for our disease-spreading friend, I had huge success with drones, mobility, and tanky items. The majority of Acrid's damage output doesn't even require him to be there. If you combine a few Burning Witness's with your Caustic Sludge, then add in a bunch of laser drones, Acrid can wipe out entire waves without blinking.

Mobility is key with acrid, as if you stay in the middle combat (since you're melee) you're likely to be torn apart. If you get the choice to grab a Paul's Goat Hoof or a Rusty Jetpack then do it. Other great items include Tough Times, Bustling Fungus (your innate speed allows you to escape combat and use this very well. Saved my life more times than I can count), Bitter Root, Burning Witness, Tesla Coil, and Guardian's Heart are all nice. There's probably plenty more that synergise amazingly with the guy that I don't know about or have forgotten. Just remember that most of the time you should be running around and using your speed and DoTs (and hopefully army of drones) to do the damage for you.

Also, I recommend the Drone Repair Kit to no end. Seriously. When you have an army of drones you -will- need this.
