Caustic traps can be exploited.

  During one of my games yesterday I was paired up with two players on xbox that were in a party together.  When we landed to begin looting, the Caustic on my team placed his traps in the door way of a house i was in.  Normally you would just kick the doors down, and slip past the trap.  However, his friend had kicked the doors down already, and the traps were placed right in the threshold.  Then placed a second on top of the first traps to block the entirety of the door.  They came out of party chat to tell me they got bored and needed to make their own fun. 

 I was left to die in the ring.  Teammates should either have a reduced collision box for his traps, or be able to destroy them 45 seconds or something.  I threw grenades, and shot everywhere on them trying to destroy them, to no avail. Another fix to this problem would be to allow the windows to be broken out.

    I had a similar experience, but I was the Caustic. We got in a fight and I got downed. My other 2 "teammates" proceeded to loot the 3 dead enemies and the entire room we were in before getting me up. So in retaliation, the next time they walked into a small room I blocked the door and looted Everything. I walked by them every once in a while and just looked at them through the door XD. After I finished looting I let them out. Next time I was downed they got me up immediately.

    I hate when people do that.

    Loot after. Pick your team up first and split the loot so you can all be effective.

    Thank you good sirr.  It wouldn't be a problem, if they didn't specifically state, they were going to find other people to do it to.  I can also give you their gamertags if you would be interested.  and video of them doing it.

    Hey there,

    Have you checked out the Community Crashing Troubleshooting Guide yet?

    For those experiencing crashes on PC we're seeing a lot of positive results by capping the frame rate.

    • Go to origin->game library->right click on Apex ->Game properties->advanced->and put in Command line arguments: +fps_max 75. (You can try setting it lower too (100, 90, 80, etc.)

    Hope that helps. If not, attach a DxDiag report for us so we can look at your system specs.

    Not related to this topic but I already made too many threads. The gas cannisters ability blocks doors I couldn't open doors from people blocking them in the back with it.
