Apex Legends the most powerful character, or at least one of his most OP characters, is getting nerfed and soon. How do we know? Because Respawn Entertainment has confirmed so much. In any competitive game based on characters or heroes, there are inevitably more viable and useful characters than others. At the current goal, most players would agree that Wraith and Caustic are the two most annoying characters they face. Unfortunately, for those in charge of the latter, the big boy gets irritated.
Caustic has been a controversial character since season 7. Before season 7, Caustic was far from a meta-topping character, however, a number of buffs changed that, and although it has been modified since then. , has not been enough according to some players.
Over the past few weeks, complaints about Caustic have been on the rise. And recently, one of those complaints caught the attention of a developer on Reddit. In response to a player who pointed out community calls to Nerf Caustic and how the character clashes with the philosophy of the game, John Larson, a game designer, confirmed that a nerf is in process and will be in operation.
“I think since the switch to gas allowed teammates to play gas without relatively any repercussions, there was a lot of unrealized potential that was quickly taken advantage of over the last two months,” Larson said of the character. “Caustic is undeniably strong and has the highest win percentage in games lasting more than 20 minutes. Caustic has a unique role as a defensive legend who can act offensively in certain scenarios and we need to make sure we change. -so that it eliminates frustration without hurting how you feel playing as a caustic. “
Larson continued:
“In short, we hear comments from the community, as a player, I think it’s valid, the data confirms that it’s strong and that it will receive some attention in the near future. Vertex becoming ‘Ability Legends’ ”, as new characters are introduced, it is important that they occupy a unique design space. This opens the door to potentially devastating synergies between the skills of the legend. I’ve seen (and experienced myself) clips of chaotic skill-driven end games, and that’s something we’re actively working on solving. “
Unfortunately, right now, not only is it not clear when these changes will be published in Caustic, but what exactly is changing. That said, if more information arises related to any of these unanswered questions, we will be sure to update the story with this information.
