@Zamaha400 Wanting to play a game of logic I see?
Considering the fact that Apex Legends takes place in year 2733, one can already assume that all robotics have extremely advanced surge protectors, and likely corrosion protected metals.
Besides, Caustic gas is... well... a gas. Without a respiratory system, it has literally no effect.
If we already bring logic, the estimated area of effect of an EMP is 25 meters. Since it doesn't kill organic life instantly even at point blank, chances are the power of an EMP is barely enough to disrupt electrical currents and energy fields (body shields), which is common for low-voltage strikes. Nowaday surge protectors can already block of 1.800 volts, 12 amps or 1000 joules, all are amounts that would put any organic life at a guaranteed death. 1 Amp is enough to kill a human if the electrical current goes through your body and passes your heart. Crypto's EMP however covers a whole area.
Crypto's EMP would therefor not even have a single Amp, and would be far from being able to disable robotics. Especially if we talk about the year we're in.
Besides, where is the damage reduction you're talking about? Last time I played caustic, that pathfinder took as much damage as the wraith did.

@Peri_Longbow_plz Zamaha here. I suppose this is what I get for lazily responding to a silly thought. I honestly doubt your use of "surge protectors" here and there are quite a few points to question in your post. (Question not necessarily challenge.) However I'm just not educated enough on the subject to discuss and it isn't worth researching.
I'm not sure what you're talking about with the damage reduction so I'll assume you're replying to someone else there.
