Possible Caustic passive

I know Caustic’s main role is to annoy people and I would argue in the right environment he thrives. However I also felt like there was a little something missing. You’ve got a big, slow legend with no ability to escape. What if, instead of an ability to escape, he had an ability to charge forward. What if after years of working with NoX gas Caustic himself had become toxic to even be in the vicinity of. Essentially giving him a gas aura in a short range around his body as a passive. One that obviously wouldn’t effect team mates preferably. Giving him a last ditch effort ability if he can’t get away, charge in and give him an edge in close quarter gun fights.

    In GW2, we have that already, we have Toxic Chomper, toxic citron, toxic brain, etc. If you close to them, you get damage.

    I think that is doable. The only thing to make it reasonable, he should have toxic aurora, smoking toxic fart around his body. 

    Another passive idea, when he is inside his smoke, his bullet is contaminated, so enemy get extra poison damage for few seconds.

    Also fun idea... whatever gets my secondary pick his abilities up, I condone

  • Na man, we don't need MMO style AoE debufs in a shooter game. 

    Caustic doesn't need abilities to help him get away from fights. He already takes less game, so best thing to do is actually fight and just shoot people in the face.

  • @Vladplaya I wasn’t suggesting giving him an ability to get out of a fight. I was saying since he doesn’t have the ability to disengage from a fight give him an option to double down on charging head first into a fight with a passive that would give him an edge.
  • @asukojo I like your idea as well. Like maybe +1 extra bullet damage to bullets that pass through his gas? (I do see that I set myself up for a passing gas joke)
