Now, a developer has shared that the \u201cGas Daddy\u201d himself, Caustic, is going to be receiving a nerf soon.<\/p>\n<p>Caustic has been the source of a lot of back in forth in terms of balancing in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/apex-legends\/\">Apex Legends<\/a><\/em>. Caustic nearly got a buff at the beginning of January with the Fight Night Collection Event update, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/apex-legends-caustic-buff-removed-fight-night\/\">fan backlash over the Caustic buff<\/a> caused Respawn to remove it from the update. With the Season 8 update, Respawn instead nerfed caustic so that his gas will no longer linger even after his team is wiped, a change that doesn\u2019t really matter to the Caustic or his team, given they are already dead.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/apex-legends-season-8-patch-notes\/\">Apex Legends Releases Full Season 8 Patch Notes<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a new Reddit AMA, a fan asked Respawn why Caustic has not been nerfed more, saying that the offensive potential of his abilities is almost more important than using weapons. They liken this perceived shift to the game becoming <em>Overwatch<\/em>, a game where the meta is intrinsically tied to each character\u2019s often damage-dealing abilities. Respawn\u2019s Live Balance Designer John Larson replied with an in-depth answer, explaining that the developer wants to \u201cremove frustration without hurting how it feels to play as Caustic\u201d in \u201cthe near future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/apexlegends\/comments\/ldfgmq\/respawn_here_we_just_shipped_season_8_mayhem_ask\/gm5okih?utm_source=share&#038;utm_medium=web2x&#038;context=3\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Larson notes that Caustic\u2019s win rate is high in matches that last over 20 minutes, as Caustic\u2019s tactical and ultimate can really cover a lot of the already small space left late game. They also note that \u201cdevastating synergies\u201d between legend abilities, especially in late gameplay, is something Respawn is \u201cactively working on resolving.\u201d The kind of \u201cdevastating synergy\u201d is perhaps best exemplified by this clip where players combined Fuse\u2019s, Horizon\u2019s, and Caustic\u2019s ultimates to create an inescapable full circle of death.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/apexlegends\/comments\/lbj7xo\/pov_youre_ulted_by_fuse_horizon_and_caustic\/?utm_source=share&#038;utm_medium=web2x&#038;context=3\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What Respawn has in mind to nerf Caustic is unknown at this point. But Respawn has figured out how to bring other legend\u2019s in line without ruining how they feel to play. After going back and forth on changing Pathfinder\u2019s tactical cooldown, Respawn solved his too high win rate by altering his hitbox, <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/apex-legends-respawn-nerf-wraith-plan\/\">a change that Respawn has also made to Wraith this season<\/a> in hopes to bring her in line as well.<\/p>\n<p>While fans wait for potential Caustic changes, a new Collection Event begins next week to celebrate <em>Apex Legends<\/em>\u2019 second anniversary. The Collection Event includes fancy red and gold recolors of popular skins and <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/apex-legends-anniversary-event-2021\/\">a chance for players to get an heirloom of their choice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other things discussed in the Reddit AMA include possible <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/apex-legends-loba-buffs\/\">changes to Loba\u2019s tactical that also could be coming soon<\/a> and another hint towards <em>Apex <\/em>getting a Team Deathmatch mode.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Apex Legends\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
