Legend Spotlight - Caustic

Hi all, each week we've been having discussions about specific Legends and how they fit into the game right now. 

This week we have - Caustic!


If you want to check out his kit or his backstory here!

How do you feel about the trap buffs a little while back? Are you a member of Team Make Squadmates Immune?  Did you know Caustic was originally supposed to be a good guy?
Do you feel most alive when rapidly approaching your death?

Let us know what you think of him below!

  • just as a small buff (Caustic is close, but still lagging behind a little bit).......why not the passive of turning thermite (and/or frag?) grenades into minor versions of his ultimate....?

    smaller blast radius, less burst/burn damage.....but minor gas damage and slowdown....?

  • his gas trap radius is too small by about 5 feet.

    Issue:

    1. His gas trap for defense: radius is too small, doesn't kick quickly, enemy simply run pass through it.

    2. His gas trap for offense: Can't be used, you die before that thing even landed. I throw one to enemy who busy looting, but that thing doesn't do anything since taking forever to deploy & kick in.

    Need to buff his gas trap:

    1. Gas trap need to kick in faster with strong stun effect, so enemy can't simply run through it.

    2. Gas trap need to deploy faster so can be use for offense as well.

    3. Bigger radius would be great.


  • Caustic Should be One f the best Legends in Game ..in order to do that he needs :-

     - He is more than a very easy target .. simply u cant Hide from bullets unlike any other small sized Legends .. in order that to happen .. 10% Damage Reduction is Nearly Nothing .. it should be 25 - 35 as he is a Defensive Legend too

     - Ultimate Skill Activation should be Instant with no Delay in order to be usable in open areas with Higher Damage rate and Radius too

    I rarely play as Caustic to really comment on the gas radius or damage (as I never pay attention) BUT I do play with a Caustic teammate. What I will say is that sometimes I   find the gas has a negative affect on team play and gunfights.

    First and most obvious is team mates gas has the slowdown impact on you. I get why that is in but then it can just become a frag fest or a wait (for both teams) until the gas clears. I don't think the effect on team mates should be removed altogether, due to balancing, but surely there is another way.

    Secondly gunfights where both teams have Caustic. I hope I'm not alone in this but in this scenario i feel like it's just 1 on 1 with the other 4 wondering what's going on. There's no way to differentiate between enemy and team mates gas so unless you're feeling brave or have a teammate with on point communication it's a spectator sport. Again, surely there is another way. Can gas not become another colour in this scenario or maybe have the slowdown affect (but not the damage) on the opposing Caustic when in friendly gas?
