Keep the High Ground in Apex Legends With This Hilarious Caustic Trick

It's a relatively obscure trick you can pull as Caustic that helps you keep the high ground from any climbing enemies. If you spot an enemy climbing towards you on a building, simply throw a Nox Gas Trap at the enemy. The traps are normally used to covering large ground areas, but they have some extra utility against climbers.

If you hit them, you'll knock them off the wall and force them to climb back up. You can even knock them down right as they keep over the wall. The gas trap will hit the ground and deploy, dealing some damage as the enemy repositions.

It's questionable if this tactic is better than just shooting at the enemy, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a funnier way of keeping the high ground.
