NICKMERCS thinks Caustic nerf basically \u201cdeletes\u201d him from Apex Legends Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Season 12 is nerfing Caustic\u2019s gas traps \u2013 an area NICKMERCS believes will delete him from the game. Unlike the Apex Legends Season 12 Crypto buffs, Caustic has been hit with a significant nerf that will impact his gas traps. Now, whenever his gas traps are triggered, they can be destroyed by enemy players. This means Caustic mains will need to be a little more careful when placing their barrels on the map. Quite how impactful this upcoming nerf will be remains to be seen, but it is a change that could drastically shake up his play rate. In fact, popular streamer Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff believes that the new Caustic nerf will make him extremely unpopular in the game\u2019s meta. NICKMERCS on Apex Legends Caustic nerf Caustic can be incredibly strong when paired with Legends that compliment his noxious gas traps. Legends like Bangalore, Bloodhound, and Wattson can certainly add even more lethality to his toxic tactical. Unlike more reactive Legends in the game, Caustic\u2019s overall use is incredibly situational. He often excels when locking down an area, which enables him to force enemy players into unwinnable choke points. It\u2019s here where the toxic defender can capitalize on the damage, slows, and visibility impairment from his traps. This obviously makes him particularly dangerous in areas with minimal space and defensive strong points. Timestamp of 3:29 However, the Season 12 update is changing the way gas traps function, making them completely destructible, even when they have been triggered. \u201cThat\u2019s not a nerf, that\u2019s a delete,\u201d laughed Nick. \u201cThey just deleted the character, man. Nobody can use the stinky man now more. That\u2019s it, man, it\u2019s over. That\u2019s Ctrl+Alt, 100%. Poor Caustic.\u201d Whether this Season 12 nerf will drastically change Caustic\u2019s win and play rate remains to be seen, but for now, Nick is adamant that this Legend\u2019s time is up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
