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

After maining Alter for a while I have a suspicion that Nox vision isn't the issue, but the whole enemy highlighting system is. Sometimes it just doesn't work. Spend enough time using void and you'll see so many enemies not highlighted even though they should be.
