Since the Caustic buffs a couple of weeks ago, I have been playing him a lot more and the results have been.. well, just downright hysterical at times.
Caustic is probably the most niche character in the game as he relies heavily on terrain to get value. He’s fire and ice, and it’s all a flip of the coin depending on where your next engagement breaks out on the map. That being said, when he’s in his element he is proving to be so strong he’s borderline overpowered.
His traps doing four damage a tick, on top of his nox gas ultimate, allows him to completely control and torture his victims within his buildings. His ability to blind, disorient, and slowly leech the life out of his enemies is downright ridiculous at times, and utterly hilarious to watch. Although I think he is far from an A list legend, I think he has an actual viable roll in the game now: Area denial, confusion, and trolling. Let me tell you, his ability to troll enemies is unmatched.
So, the next time you’re playing a casual game of Apex Legends, give him a try! He is incredibly fun to use, and much more viable than he once was.
