Caustic passive

@moder913totally agree 👍
+ Pathfinder, Wraith, Wattson,Crypto they have bad passive too

and here we have seer with literally wallhack passive ..... great job apex devs

i don't like most of the legends passives i only like one's on A .

A tier - Octane, Gibraltar, Horizon, Lifeline auto ress, Seer, Valkyrie

B -Bangalore, Bloodhound ,Revenant, Fuse,

C -Caustic, Pathfinder ,Wraith, Wattson, Mirage, Loba ,Rampart,Crypto

and please don't tell me Wraith passive is A tier because i died soo many time and after that oh somebody aims at you nice ........

and activated caustic trap and same oh there traps near by........

I used to really like Caustic, even back in his original state.  I hardly play him now because I feel like I am just making things harder for myself by picking him.

His traps are far too easily destroyed.  I would like to see them remove the ability for anyone to destroy them whilst deploying with one shot as it is already too easy to disable them with one shot to the base anyway and it will allow them to be used offensively again.

@Piabetici completely agree, i think the devs should be more open with enabling deployable defences be placed on the move, I dont know why rampart's wall needs to charge up on health as it severely weakens her along with the long animation times.
caustic is the same story, long animation cast times on his abilities while the gas traps are extremely easy to destroy, i liked it more when you had to shoot the bottom part to destroy them while building up

If the devs think rampart's wall is too powerful with 500 hp instant deployable, simply increase the animation time, decrease the max amount of deployable walls, and increase the cooldown.

i'd rather have 1 good reliable ability, than 5 walls that can only be used when hard-camping, same with caustic, i dont know why they prefer making his traps so weak, but giving him so many. its encourages camping gaming which is bad for the game

Caustic has been my main since season one and after they made the gas thinner it feels like everyone is running digital threats. Trying to hide in it is hopeless. Very frustrating.

The passive he has right now should just be a part of the tactical and ult description, that caustics can see in gas. The way it works now is like if bloodhounds beast of the hunt just gave the speed increase and than he has a passive for highlighting enemies while his ult is active. Or if lifeline has a passive which gave her tactical the ability to heal more than one ally at once. Can't understand why caustic needs to waste his passive to make the other abilities to make sense (if the passive would work and if the gas was thicker, now it doesn't really make any sense either way).

If the visibility has to be a passive at least add so caustic can see in Bangalores smoke, through fire and other things which temporarily reduces vision. I do also think caustic should see through his own gas and not just in it (since many of the legends have moment abilities to get out of it almost instantly).

I do also think gas traps should have a little bit more health, so enemies have to waste some more bullets to destroy them. This could make more use for them while pushing and outdoors/in open areas (where caustic now is very weak).

Few other tips for passives:

*Caustics gas/gastraps makes enemy scanning not to work near it (he and his allies aren't detected while in/near gas, or something similar). This would counter bloodhound/Seer a bit.

*Caustic can trigger his traps without shooting at them. You just aim at them and klick the keybind and they go off (this maybe doesn't count as a passive tho).

* while being knocked caustic releases gas around him (I do really like that suggestion from above). Maybe it should be when his health bar gets below x % instead of knocked instead?

* toxic punch - Dealing melee damage creates a gas cloud around the enemy (or applies toxic which deals x extra damage over x seconds). This one would work great with his heirloom design as well. 

Give the big boy some real love please 🙂

@worstSoloQeverMany legends are in need of some form of rework, as more and more legends (and weapons) are introduced certain legends just get swept more and more under the rug and almost forgotten about

I know Pathfinder was supposed to be getting a new passive where he could use his ‘’eye’’ as a 4-8 times scope to the surrounding areas... originally it wasn’t supposed to be usable on a gun and was only for surveillance purposes but with the direction Apex is headed lately with overpowered things... who knows lol

Caustic is one of those legends I’m not quite sure what a good passive would be... you don’t want him too strong but definitely not too weak like he was after recieve his heirloom and town take over

to be 100% honest defensive legends need to be buffed a ton... Gibraltar is an exception of course because he is already really strong and Rampart isn’t even a defensive legend anymore she is a full on Breacher with Sheila... but when it comes to actual defensive legends with traps Caustic and Wattson are both in need of major reworks/buffs of some sort and whats dumb is I saw a leak for another future legend’s ability similar to Crypto’s EMP to instantly destroy all enemy traps in the area.... whats the point in making Caustic and Wattson that much weaker when they are already 2 of the least used legends in the game (This leak was technically from along time ago even though brought up a few days ago so hopefully their ability was changed or scrapped by now)

How about his passive is that not only do players actually reliably become highlighted by being in gas, but that they also become "tainted" by the gas for a period of time even if they just step into it?  This could work a little bit like a bloodhound scan, or the Seer thing.  Set off a trap and walk into my gas, then you get tagged for 5 seconds or 3 seconds for the team.  Not suggesting they continue to take damage for this period if they aren't still in the gas.

This would fit in with the general theme they are adding what with introducing seer and adding a similar mechanic to Fuses ultimate.
