Apex Legends players uncover Caustic \u201cbuff\u201d for aim assist Respawn\/EAIf you\u2019re using a controller in Apex Legends, you might want to pick up Caustic as a regular go-to character seeing as he actually helps aim assist in some cases. Just like plenty of other multiplayer titles over the last few years, the debate around aim assist has raged on and on in Apex Legends. Many PC players don\u2019t want to play in lobbies where controllers are used \u2013 be it on a console or another PC \u2013 given that they believe aim assist is akin to a soft aimbot. On the flip side, some console players want to see it buffed to combat the skills of some keyboard and mouse players. It\u2019s a debate that will never end, even though steps have been taken to try and even the playing field. Though, it seems as if using Caustic can actually give you a leg up on the aim assist side of things. Caustic \u201cbuffs\u201d controller players in Apex Legends It was something highlighted by Apex Legends YouTuber Skeptation, who noted that Caustic\u2019s Gas doesn\u2019t operate in the same as Bangalore\u2019s smoke does in regards to aim assist. When Bang\u2019s smoke is popped, aim assist is disabled briefly, and doesn\u2019t even work if you have a digital threat scope. Though, when Caustic uses his gas grenade, you still get the added boost of aim assist \u2013 even if the target you\u2019re after is completely covered by the toxic gas. \u201cThis means using Caustic gas basically buffs controller,\u201d the YouTuber said in their brief video, showing the difference between the two abilities. Some Caustic mains noted that they\u2019ve known this for quite some time, and that it\u2019s the reason they still use the Toxic Trapper despite his middling pick rate. \u201cAdd the fact that the Gas will slow enemies down and you can see why Caustic is much preferred by controller players, especially in competitive,\u201d said one. Other players suggested that it\u2019s not particularly a buff, and that the comparison to Bangalore is a bit off given that her smoke is much thicker than the gas. Of course, it might be something for Respawn to look into but it\u2019s hardly like Caustic needs any further nerfs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
