Re: Apex legends Caustic nerf

@asukojono i want it to stay as it is...

Now its actually a trap and not a grenade

You can AIM the bottom right, it's not that hard !

That's EXACTLY problem, you don't need to aim to win the battle with Caustic anymore.

Everything is SO HUGE, his trap is HUGE, Caustic is HUGE, you can close your eyes, you can kill him easily.

@matzesingt That equates to about 2 extra bullets depending on the weapon used. It's not an advantage lol.

@matzesingt Based on your on word : " if you can only win a fight when you * the enemy before then you actually need to practise some aiming "

Since you're so good in aiming, I don't see the reason you can't shoot the bottom of the barell, right ?

@MandatoryIDtagit isnt an advantage nor a disadvantage thats what i was trying to say

@EA_David

@EA_Kent

We should NOT change the mechanic of the trap regardless who shooting it (caustic or enemy).

    - Bottom : Disable

    - Top       : Trigger

The only change with this patch, you can disable it early before it fully deployed.

So I honestly think this's a serious bug that must be fixed.

I don't have one but we can easily test in Firing Range with friends.

@hayhor 

How about before fully expanded ?  

Can you record and share the video for both scenario ?

@Sir_Named 

The exact terminology in the patch notes is as follows:

Caustic

• Enemies can cancel Caustic’s barrel by shooting it before it is fully inflated.

That to me implies it CAN be shot anywhere whilst inflating to be disabled,so I don't think it's a bug at all.

However the inflation time is extremely slow, making the nerf a serious problem for caustic lol.

This in itself I could have lived with, it's inability to throw traps through windows that's bugging me lol.

"It" implied shooting "the bottom"

How can they rever it to the whole barrel ?? Doesn't make sense. 

Probably the Dev and QA didn't clarify so they made the mistake.

Unfortunately not, anywhere on the canister free game until it inflates, stupid.

Just being back season 4 caustic or make the time to inflate half what it is now. 3 seconds to throw and inflate at mid range is stupid.

@Sir_NamedI thought it was before it hits ground or starts getting inflated. That is why I assumed it now rotates. So the bottom of the barrel can be hit in air.

Still tho, anyone throwing a barrel at a person they can shoot is awful anyway. Last night I dropped with another caustic and had no gun. He chucked out multiple barrels while I punched him to death. 😂

@hayhor  I've seem this too rofl, you can literally feel the panic from their end. XD

What do you mean anyone you throw a barrel at is awful?

Let's push a duo looting behind a van and get melted. Why throw a can and use it as cover? And the digi threat to laser through smoke while using your own personal wall that lasts 10 seconds?

You're right anyone who throws a canister in a fight is awful, I'm #12 in the word for caustic, you must be better then me. Please show me your stats my PSN CoserTheSav
