OurApex Legends Caustic Guideruns you through all the information you’ll need for this unique Legend. We’re going throughhow-to unlock Caustic, his character information, abilities, ultimate, skins, tips, and even featuring some wallpapers!
Caustic is interesting in that he’s one of two Legends that aren’t immediately available in the game. He also might be the most unique class currently, and focuses heavily on AOE style damage and confusing players with his gas abilities. If you get an enemy in his noxious fumes, you are completely immune and can see through it which will allow for some potentially easy kills.

Toxic Trapper
Before there was Caustic, a scientist named Alexander Nox worked at Humbert Labs, the Frontier’s leading manufacturer of pesticide gases. With a glut of pesticides needed to protect the growing Frontier colonies’ crops, Humbert Labs was constantly on the hunt for better and stronger formulas. Nox was one of their brightest scientists and worked day and night developing new gases. But to ensure they worked, he needed to test them on more than just inert tissue: he needed something living.
As he toiled in secret, Nox began to see the beauty in his creations and their ability to destroy anything they touched. But the head of Humbert Labs soon discovered his gruesome experiments, and their confrontation ended with the lab in flames and its chief dead. Today, Nox is missing and presumed deceased. Caustic, meanwhile, now finds new test subjects in the Apex Games, where he puts his gaseous creations to work and observes their effects with great interest.

Caustic Abilities
Tactical Ability: Nox Gas Trap
Drop canisters that release deadly Nox gas when shot or triggered by enemies.
This ability while not doing great damage is good for sealing, blocking, or making areas awkward for entry. The canisters can also be placed at choke points where they will alert you to the presence of enemies.
When you place a canister it does not immediately start spraying gas. you’re able to either shoot it, or have an enemy run by it to trigger them. If you dislike the placement of a canister, you can pick it up and place it elsewhere.
Place canisters show up as a gray outline when behind walls, when they are triggered they will appear green.
Passive Ability: Nox Vision
Allows you to see enemies through your gas.
This is an okay perk, most players will avoid the gas as much as possible. If a player is caught up in the gas, they will be highlighted green.
Ultimate Ability - Nox Gas Grenade
Blankets a large area in Nox gas.
This ultimate is the largest reason to play Caustic. You can fling this thing and create a huge gas cloud that damages enemies and obscures their vision. The damage is not insane, but if an enemy gets caught up in it you can see them with your passive and take them out.
