Apex Legends: 10 Things You Didn t Know About The Toxic One Caustic

Caustic was born on the planet known as Gaea. It was home to Humbert Labs, the premier manufacturer of pesticides for the Frontier crops, and Caustic's future employer. Gaea is located in The Outlands which means Caustic's venture onto Solace and into the Apex Games wasn't too far of a space t


Since this game mode takes place in a nighttime version of Kings Canyon, lighter cosmetics can give away a player’s position. While this won’t matter to Shadow Legends, it does matter to other Legends who can easily spot this contrast at a distance. Shadow Legends see all players in bright red, similar to the way Bloodhound sees enemies when using their Ultimate Abil


Perhaps there’s no real better to play as these characters except for the fact that they’re funny as a pair. One of Mirage’s voice lines has him saying, "I hope I don’t have to play with that smiling robot," before he says he’s just kidding. This is an obvious reference to Pathfinder and seems to imply they're a sort of default frenemy duo. These characters are comic relief, and their pairing seems to be conducive to a buddy comedy a la Harry and Lloyd from Dumb and Dumb


Caustic began as a research scientist at Humbert Labs on his home-world known as Gaea. They were the leading manufacturer for pesticides for the Frontier crops and were responsible for making sure the crops were uncontaminated and survived the entire harvest sea


As of this writing, there really doesn't seem to be an equivalent to these locations in World's Edge. Some of this might have to do with players still figuring out the map and spreading out over a wide variety of drop locations, but it also seems like squads rotate much faster than they used to, likely due to the relative scarcity of loot in the new

However, as players die, they come back as zombie-like beings who can use strong melee abilities to kill still-living Legends. These creatures, known collectively as the Shadow Squad, can’t use weapons and have very little health. But, they move at fast speeds and can down living players in one or two melee atta


From a tactical standpoint, Mirage is effective at causing distractions. If a Mirage can successfully capture the attention of an opposing duo, the Pathfinder can grapple over to the team and get them while they're not paying attention to him. And, if done especially well, Mirage can then use his decoy escape to push the unwitting team from another direction, resulting in a strong push strat


Geysers actually acts just like a Jump Tower, propelling the player high into the air and putting them into skydiving mode. It's still useful, of course, especially when you're ready to rotate after looting the area. But it's a lot more time consuming and much more noticeable to nearby enemies than a simple boosted j

Shooting down Cargo Bots will occasionally yield a Vault Key, which is used to unlock them and claim their treasures. Three vaults are hidden away inside of underground tunnels and caves, and can be found just south of the Train Yard, due north from The Geyser, or a short jog west from Lava C

Very rarely can people create a character who's as unattractive as Caustic is and still manage to have him be super cool looking. The world of Apex Legends is filled with robots, voidwalkers, and soldiers, so how does a scientist focusing on gasses man


The bot's actual cargo container changes colors as it floats along, from blue, to purple, and then gold or red. The color is reflective of the loot tier that is inside, so you'll need to time your shots in order to get the good stuff. Cargo Bots also have a chance to drop a Vault Key, which will open up one of the loot vaults spread around the map. We'll touch on those


Squads put on the defensive often hole up inside of buildings to recharge or force attacking teams into choke points. Using the drone allows you to open up doors and allow for opportunities for sniping or grenades without putting any squadmates at risk, or pinpoint entries that they aren't actively defend


Players have mixed feelings about Bangalore’s smoke tactical ability. Sure, it blocks enemies’ visibility as a Banglore heals or resurrects teammates. But it can also can cause issues when a Bangalore player uses it at the wrong time. For example, it can obstruct vision for Bangalore’s own teammates, which in turn can cause confusion as to what's happening around t


Caustic’s traps hurt undead Legends just as they hurt Legends. When Mirage uses his decoy, it appears red to Shadow Legends and is therefore effective because it's hard for these undead beings to tell the difference between Mirage and his decoy. On the other hand, Wattson’s Ultimate is less useful at the top 10 stage because there's no need to defend against bombardments and grenades. Crypto is also less useful because his skills require him to be stationary but Shadow Legends can easily spot him from a distance even if he is only partially exposed.
