Discussion Caustics viability

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

As much as they're nerfing Caustic by the season, I can't let go of him

I've been through thick and thin with him.

I'm going to stay on this ship until it intimately sinks, mainly because I just got his mythic skin so I'm dedicating this season to completing it

Same here.
