Apex Legends Developer Explains Why Caustic's Gas Has Never Changed

An Apex Legends developer explained why Caustic's notorious gas has stayed the same since it was first introduced back at the game's launch. While it may have had its damage changed, the actual mechanics have stayed the same.

And fans of the game aren't happy with that decision. Someone took to Reddit to ask why he hasn't changed while the rest of the Legends continue to adapt.

Brent ‘Scriptacus’ McLeod responded to the post. While the full comment is much longer, he did post TLDR.

"Seemingly simple changes can have far reaching effects on balance, FX, audio, animation, etc... all of which can end up multiplied by the number of other legends. We don't take such changes lightly." The team is considering creating two different colors for hostile and allies gas, but it an effect other parts of the game.

While the fix seems to be a ways off, Respawn is looking to finally do something with Caustic's gas.
