Apex Legends: 10 Things You Didn't Know About The Toxic One, Caustic
The game's objective is to get wins, so it’s impossible to fault anyone for choosing to learn and play this character. The major problem is that Respawn Entertainment has developed a universe of interesting characters with unique abilities, but none of them can effectively counter a Pathfinder’s speed and height advanta
JB Blanc is the man who brought the gaseous scientist to life in Apex Legends . Along with playing the role of Caustic in Apex Legends Blanc has appeared in several other notable projects. Some of the standouts include the portrayal of Kano in Mortal Kombat 11 and a recurring role on AMC's Better Call S
Character ideas might include an addition with something similar to Wraith’s portal. This could include height, and allow the player to reach places that they don’t have to travel to physically before setting the end of the teleport. To balance it against Pathfinder, it could be more limited in distance but allow height that rivals the zip line’s maximum vertical
Caustic, or as he was once known as, Alexander Maxwell Nox, was born to parents who also were known by their complete name. This means that Caustic was born to a family of wealth, pride, and/or pretens
Apex Legends launched with a thunderous boom onto the PC , PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One in February of this past year. Although it had a fantastic start, the game has plummeted in popularity, and many are wondering if this is due to problems with the developer, Respawn Entertainment, or if EA has more control than players are aw
It's unclear if Mirage has ever been off-planet, but it seems his ignorance to things happening on the same planet as him shows that he isn't exactly cultured or concerned with things happening outside of his immediate vicin
His last name Nox is a clever play on NOx which is a noun for oxides of nitrogen, more specifically as pollutants in the atmosphere. As someone who relies on toxic fumes to overcome his enemies, it's a great way to tie-in his defining characteristics back into his n
There are few benefits from being exposed on lower ground, so if there’s a chance to push, the best bet is to push to take over the high-ground position rather than trying to take the fight from below. This may mean following the opponent’s zip line, having a team’s Pathfinder throw its own zip line or climbing on ledges as quickly — and stealthy — as possi
Though his career may have started with his mind in the right place, he was ultimately driven mad. It's unclear whether he has always that way and it finally came to light, or the exposure to the chemicals severely affecting his brain functi
Character balancing is extremely difficult, and it’s really only possible to get it right after significant feedback. For example, when Respawn looked at gameplay data from the first few months of the game, it became clear that Caustic and Gibraltar were being underutilized. And, it was also apparent that Wraith, Lifeline and Pathfinder were either over-utilized or had a higher proportion of kills and wins than other characters. So, Respawn introduced its fortified damage reduction buff and its Low Profile damage increase nerf for these respective groups of charact
This is certainly true in _ Apex Legends _ . Unfortunately, unlike competing Battle Royale SLG game guide _ Fortnite _ , players who are stuck on the low ground can’t simply build their way to even terrain when competitors have the high gro
Within the game's meta, with some major exceptions, there are few character abilities that can’t be replicated by some other means. For example, Gibraltar’s and Bangalore’s ultimates function similar to a supersized grenade barrage. Digital Threats give guns the same red highlights visible in Bloodhound’s ultimate ability. All characters can heal and regain shields, and Wattson and Lifeline simply have means to help players do it more quickly and efficien
The solution isn’t to nerf Pathfinder. It would seem unfair to negatively adjust a longtime character’s core abilities, especially when these abilities are so simple. Doing so would certainly cause backlash within the commun
One added benefit of a coordinated push in this manner is that it makes it harder for opponents to shoot the pushing player’s team. When players are close to the side of a mountain or platform means the enemy often has to look straight down to shoot, making it tough for them to line up the perfect shot and requiring them to stand right on the edge to get a good line of sight. The pushing team can use this to their own advantage to laser a player trying to line up their downward-facing s
With no way to counter the zip line, a person who has low ground has to take a low-ground, long distance fight or wait for the Pathfinder to come down. The latter becomes unlikely, though, when the character is in an advantageous posit
If possible, coordinate with squadmates to make sure team members don’t arrive to fight the opposing squad one by one, making each player an easy target for a series of consecutive 3v1s, all in the opposing team’s favor. Teams will often have a player standing lookout to spot teammates from specific directions, and sometimes players throw traps if they know the terrain has limited access points, such as a Wattson fence at the end of the zip line that gets a character to the mountain area. Anticipate this, and be prepared to engage in zip line hopping tactics or try to use the traps the squad’s advantage. For instance, a team member playing as Caustic is immune to the damage effects of enemy Caustic gas traps and can still see players through them, so a player playing as Caustic can set off the enemy trap and leverage the low visibility to their advant (image: https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/blt740a130ae3c5d529/blt91d1eed0ba998660/67058bea65a1b719a6391496/Game_Economy_Design.jpg?disable\u003dupscale\u0026width\u003d1200\u0026height\u003d630\u0026fit\u003dcrop)
