Tips for playing as Caustic: how to use passive and tactical skills, Legend’s ultimate; character advantages and disadvantages
Apex Legends is a battle royale set in the Titanfall universe, in which several squads (up to 20) of three people each try to survive, fighting against each other on the large island of Kings Canyon. We bring to your attention the material dedicated to the hunter Caustic.
Basic information
- Role: hunter-poisoner.
- Passive skill: “Knox” visor. Allows you to see opponents through Caustic gas.
- Tactical Ability: Trap “Knox”. Installation of canisters with poisonous gas “Knox”. They release gas if they get hit by a weapon or if an enemy is nearby.
- Special skill: Knox grenade. Covers a large area with Knox gas.
Caustic is a true reaper in Apex Legends with dangerous abilities based on the use of poisonous and deadly gas to humans. Caustic is the most striking example of the fact that Apex Legends is not just a battle royale shooter, and the winners are not always skillful with firearms. His cans of Knox gas will surprise everyone and are best placed somewhere in a hidden location (eg around a corner). Or you can throw directly at the enemy before activating the ultimate, with which you can control the movement of the enemy, limiting the safe zone.
Additionally, Caustic is one of two premium characters you can unlock with in-game currency.
Advantages of the passive skill “Knox Visor”
Thanks to this ability, Caustic can see enemies through the poisonous gas “Knox” released by him . This is an incredibly useful skill in cases where you have created several zones with toxic clouds, since the enemy simply cannot see you. However, you will be gifted with this wonderful opportunity.
Try to make the most of the Caustic passive by carefully concealing the gas cans, running away from the enemy and trying to lure him towards them, or simply tossing the cans right in the middle of a firefight. This perk will allow Caustic to gain huge advantages in combat, but only if gas is available. Also, the passive skill will be useful in rare cases when you encounter an enemy unit that already has Caustic.
All poisoned enemies will be highlighted on the map, and also visible through walls.
Note . Do not forget that Knox gas has a negative effect on your allies, so use it wisely.
How to use the active skill “Trap Knox”
Activate this ability to cause Caustic to throw canisters that release the lethal Knox gas when fired or when enemies are spotted nearby. Installs Caustic six canisters.
Here are some simple tips to help you get the most out of it:
- If you are sure that the enemy is hiding close to you, then throw the canisters in doorways or next to some good loot to catch opponents by surprise. Also, a triggered canister indicates that the enemy was somewhere nearby.
- If you are near the enemy, then feel free to throw canisters at him. The enemy may simply not expect such a move and not even be aware of what happened.
- There may be positions or buildings in which you would not like to see opponents. In this case, throw the canisters there. Canisters can be used to block escape routes for the enemy.
Traps only disappear when destroyed or triggered . When the enemy is in range, then activation occurs. A large balloon is inflated, releasing green gas, which not only obstructs vision, but also results in loss of health points (ignoring armor and shields). However, do not forget that you can activate traps yourself – just shoot them. While they can be used anywhere, it is best to install canisters inside buildings.
How to use the Pomegranate Knox ultimate
Ulta Caustic allows him to cover a large area with poisonous gas. Above all, be sure to take the time to accurately throw the grenade before pulling the trigger. We recommend using this skill to lock onto targets in a building or aerial area. It is also ideal for taking out opponents in the open air.
Remember that Caustic is not susceptible to gas, so if a bunch of enemies are trying to storm you, activate your ultimate and try to destroy your opponents before they can recover or escape. Caustic gas, although not completely, but significantly complicates the view for the rest of the characters. Thus, “Granata Knox” is a worthy tool for getting out of the most difficult situations.
Feel free to use active and special skills to gain advantages both for offensive and defensive purposes. On average, the Nox Pomegranate poison cloud is three times larger than when the trap is activated .
