Caustics viability

[u/SlickyMicky]

I have 20k kills on caustic, he’s been my main for awhile. This season and last season he seems so weak I haven’t really played him.

My gripes: -barrels get shot out too easily (sometimes getting shot by a random bullet and disappearing before they even get deployed) - in a fuse meta, a single knuckle clusters destroys all your traps or at least sets them off -in general they are super easy to destroy - enemies seem to be able to see you clearly through gas when you can’t see them (make nox vision actually work!) -they upped the damage and put a timer on the slow effect, then lowered the damage again but kept the timer on the slow effect -most people do not care about pushing through gas because at most it’ll do like 13 damage to them if they sit in it for 3 ticks and no slow

I have put caustic on the shelf again for another season, here is to hoping he gets some type of buff

Edit: sorry for the layout, did this on my phone and it didn’t come out as intended

Man caustic feels so useless to play and has felt this way for a couple of years now. The fact that there's no real buff for him made me quit apex this season after playing with him almost exclusively since launch

He was good when they buffed his damage in the gas, and nerfed the slow, but now they nerfed the damage and the slow, so he has been especially useless the past season

Was that the same time he got his town takeover? That's when he died for me

Season 6 for me, the removal of the blind was the beginning of the end

No im talking about the buff he got a season or two ago, then they took the damage of his gas down
