I wanna learn Caustic mainly because I really, really, really like his heirloom and after today's pack sale im less than 50 packs away from shards. I know i should get the heirloom of the character i play most but thats the problem. I like just about everyone (including caustic) equally. So i decided why not pick up the legend with my favorite heirloom as im so close?
So what caustic tips do you have for me? Beginner or advanced.
@Noobby_Groovy777 I’ve been a Gibby main for 2 years and this season I’m dedicated to only play as Caustic or Newcastle only in rank up to diamond. I don’t know much yet but I’ve got some not so obvious tips. One is to use his recon abilities. This is very important in rank to know if another squad is following you or have the same route as you do since you don’t want to get sandwiched between squads. Place some barrels along the way even if you’re not bunkering down. A semi obvious tip is to not rely on your gas too much. The gas is there mainly to slow and block some vision but never to kill. The damage is there to pressure them to move but it rarely kills competent enemies.
Pretty sure @hayhor has more gas man tips. Glad I’m not alone loving Caustic this season. Hope we get his heirloom soon!
Keep dropping the cans, wherever you go. There's always some unfortunate test subject to annoy and have plenty of lolz.
@Noobby_Groovy777 Pretty much what everyone else said. The better caustic is one who can both push and defend rather than one or the other. You can shoot your own barrels to force space between other teams and you should place barrels in blind spots, If you are bunkering down know every entrance to avoid being flanked. The more common threat you'll run into are experienced players who - a) disable barrels "devs nerfed em a few seasons back so shooting at the base so they can be destroyed them without triggering" or b) spam chuck grenades "less common, but depending on the area it can work".
