Acid spit speed reduction?

So, i just got my fully loaded, kitted out tank blown apart by biters in the first small camp i went for on the trip.

I ran a circle, shot most enemies, hit a rock that didn't immediately get destroyed by the impact, figured i better just kill the last few monsters and spitters and repair.

Everything died easily, my repair bots got to work, but since i was at that point standing still for a few seconds, i had a bunch of acid under me, and i better reverse out of it or the repair bot would not be able to patch me up fast enough.

The tank would not move. i could for a few second not get out of the spot at all, and by any means should have been able to.

So i lost that tank. Bummer. But now my question is, is this a movement speed reduction from all the acid i got on me? Is this intended behavior? For that acid to stack so aggressively i can get stunlocked? It felt a little unfair to die like this.

More likely you just got stuck on that rock, I think I had this happen to me.
Also, are you certain that it was a rock and not a / also small cliff ?

Pretty sure it was a rock, there are no cliffs in the area, just a big one, one that you don't easily smash unless you run into them at full speed or have a ton of upgrades. I am used to being able to "unstuck" by reversing (trying to turn is what gets you in my experience)
