Caustic is INCREDIBLY WEAK right now!
The gas is supposed to function as an area denial, to slow down fights and to DEINCENTIVIZE enemies from rushing through gas. But against AVERAGE players it doesn't even do ANY of those things. P...

Because of it's uselessness, I use it as a tripmine rather than damage.
It's for knowledge, to know when an enemy has passed through an area I've been.
Likewise, I destroy enemy traps because I DON'T want them to immediately know I'm where they've been. When a trap is destroyed rather than set off, it doesn't alert Caustic. He has to check his map to see if any of his traps are missing. When a trap is set off, "One of my traps has been set off."
The ability to destroy them must be maintained for that effect alone.
I do agree it needs to deal more damage. BUT, I've also had times where a Caustic wanted me dead so badly he placed gas trap after gas trap and set them off near me just to try to kill me through my Knockdown Shield.
I find that very disgraceful when people try to ignore my KDS. Shoot it or finisher me! Don't ignore it!
That's another one of my biggest issues.The KDS only covers 10% of you. I feel it needs to be bigger, deeper, to prevent someone in front of you from shooting your butt. I feel they need to be Directly Behind you, Out of your line of sight, if they want to ignore it. Yet I am constantly being killed by people in the center of my screen, While my KDS is up.
Also, How does a person one mag a Gold KDS with a CAR?
15dmg*24mag=360 damage, not 750. Numbers may be off slightly but point still stands. It's nowhere near capable of one magging.
