However, he believes the legend is in a tricky spot when it comes to changes. Ever since the start of Apex Legends, Caustic has always been a go-to legend for some of the battle royale\u2019s most dedicated players. Even though the Toxic Trapper has had issues in the past \u2013 mainly in regards to his gas damage \u2013 he is in a decent spot in Season 11, rubbing elbows with the likes of Bloodhound and Valkyrie as one of the strongest characters. While some players might believe that Caustic is in need of some nerfs, Apex Legends streamer NiceWigg believes the \u201cbroken\u201d legend is in a tricky spot in regards to changes. During a recent session of games, the 100 Thieves content creator was quizzed about Caustic by a fan, who asked why he believes that the Toxic Trapper is so overpowered. \u201cI think Caustic\u2019s just really broken. I think he\u2019s just a really strong legend,\u201d NiceWigg said, noting that some players are reluctant to initiate fights with a Caustic trio in Ranked play currently. That gives Caustic users the comfort to grab the Ranked Points they need to avoid having to be too aggressive later on in games. In terms of balancing the defensive legend, though, NiceWigg claims that\u2019s \u201cgenuinely tough\u201d for Respawn. \u201cOne nerf can make him useless, one buff can make him strong enough to solo The Avengers,\u201d he added. While there might be some appetite to see Caustic and his gas traps brought down a notch, it might not happen anytime soon, given he is generally in a solid state. Should the gas traps become too overbearing, as they have been in recent seasons, then Respawn might need to address thing, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see on that front.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NiceWigg explains why \u201cbroken\u201d Caustic is key for Apex Legends Ranked Instagram: NiceWigg\/Respawn100 Thieves\u2019 Jack \u2018NiceWigg\u2019 Martin believes that Caustic is not only \u201cbroken\u201d in Apex Legends, but also the key to ranking up.
