Pathfinder should be immune to caustics gas. He is a robot. Not human.
Immunity
Forum Discussion
Caustic gas is a corrosive substance that eats through skin, metal and clothing. Caustic wears clothing of a special formula which protects him from the negative effects.
This explains why Pathfinder, Revenant and Bloodhound are affected by the chemicals.
This isn't a theory at all, it has been confirmed by lead writer for Apex Legends Tom Casiello here:

So you were saying?
@CompleatBeet Logically speaking, this doesn't prove anything, nor does it make sense.
First of all, as I stated before, Pathfinder and Revenant takes as much damage as Wattson and Wraith do. Which doesn't make sense. Either the damage has to be lower for both, or the damage for every other organic legend has to be higher. No matter what substance you would take, pretty much every acidic substance would eat through flesh much quicker than through metal. Any other way would not make it an acid, but something else entirely (Bacteria, nanobot or parasite, likely)
Furthermore, any acid would stick to the surface and last for a while. With emphasis on "a while", because it doesn't disappear quickly at all.
Lastly... Since when is Bloodhound a robot?

- @Peri_Longbow_plz Exactly, I don't know why anyone would disagree with your logic, and I'm pretty sure Bloodhound is an organic Legend not a Robotic Legend.
@Peri_Longbow_plzSure, but lets not forget that Pathfinder is a robot and therefore cannot heal himself with syringes and medkits.
Bloodhound wears a gas mask, and if Caustic's gas damaged through inhalation BH would be immune. The gas tears through clothing. I never said anything about them being a robot.
Nox Gas is not an acid at all. It is a corrosive gas with minimal acidic physical properties. And before you say "That's not possible" we're in a sci-fi universe.
And the developers have said that due to character balancing nobody except Caustic and Gibby (because of their huge hitboxes) will receive reduced damage. Revenant doesn't need reduced damage nor does Pathfinder. Just because it doesn't make MUCH canonical sense is not a reason to give characters advantages over others instead of giving each character a different playstyle.
