Caustic was born on the planet known as Gaea. It was home to Humbert Labs, the premier manufacturer of pesticides for the Frontier crops, and Caustic's future employer. Gaea is located in The Outlands which means Caustic's venture onto Solace and into the Apex Games wasn't too far of a space t

At present, playing as Pathfinder signifies an easier way to rack up kills and wins. Unfortunately, players will continue to do this until there’s some way for other characters to effectively compete with advanta

I’d love to see a softer side of this character to decide whether she’s kissable. What’s she like on her off days? Is she a whiskey drinker or does she prefer red wine? Maybe beneath that tough exterior, she’s the type who likes to go apple picking in the fall and knit crochet blankets for her friends' bab

The solution isn’t to nerf Pathfinder. It would seem unfair to negatively adjust a longtime character’s core abilities, especially when these abilities are so simple. Doing so would certainly cause backlash within the commun

Caustic’s traps hurt undead Legends just as they hurt Legends. When Mirage uses his decoy, it appears red to Shadow Legends and is therefore effective because it's hard for these undead beings to tell the difference between Mirage and his decoy. On the other hand, Wattson’s Ultimate is less useful at the top 10 stage because there's no need to defend against bombardments and grenades. Crypto is also less useful because his skills require him to be stationary but Shadow Legends can easily spot him from a distance even if he is only partially exposed. To learn which Legends are best and worst for the mode, check out TheGamer's guide to this to

When there are only 10 Legends remaining, these surviving players join forces to travel to a rescue ship that will take them out of the zombie-infested arena. If any single player makes it to the rescue ship, then the Legends win. However, if the Shadow Legends manage to take them all down, the team of undead players w

I’m a fan of those big brain strategies. But I worry that kissing Crypto means the Solace equivalent of Interpol will come knocking at my door and I’ll be indicted for aiding some cause I don’t even underst

There’s a reason players call her "Wifeline." Ajay Che is sarcastic and tough, but she’s also a compassionate and caring person. Her choice to be a medic proves she has a good heart. Pair that with a unique sense of style and her musical talents and she’s a total ca

In King's Canyon he's never going to win a sprinting or climbing competition, but, likely, he'd out trap you. He's a brilliant mind that may be a bit mad and/or psychotic, but remember that with age comes a ton of experience and knowle

It’s worth knowing that seasoned players may anticipate a flank, so try to consider secondary ways to flank the opponent that might catch them off guard, such as coming at them from unusual positions or flanking from two separate locations at o

The lab was constantly experimenting trying to come up with stronger and more efficient formulas to be the most effective. This constant state of experimentation and iteration was likely the cause of Caustic's mental sh

In response to fan demand, Apex Legends is giving its players a Duos Mode, though only for a limited time. But not all pairs are equal. Like peanut butter and jelly or chicken and waffles, sometimes two very different things complement one another in an amazing

However, in cases where this is simply not possible, find cover and try to anticipate opponents’ moves. The majority of time, due to the circle constraints or simply the desire to take down their opponents before the final circle ends the game, they’ll drop from the high-ground position. Be ready for it and take advantage of the situation by having shotguns on h

Each Shadow Legend kill returns health. This is helpful to know in cases where meds may be unavailable or will take too long to use. Killing Shadow Legends in succession will restore full health, but players will still need to make sure to have enough shields to protect themselves in the case of a Shadow melee att

Some people say that a team's reliance on the Pathfinder character is fine because every team can choose to have a Pathfinder on it, which makes it fair to all. This isn’t inherently wrong, but it's still problematic. The game is designed to allow different team compositions to have different tactical advantages when playing together. The fact that teams so frequently rely on Pathfinder signifies an imbalance in the meta at a fundamental le

Players have a very short window of opportunity to reach the rescue ship once it gets to the landing zone. The longer a player waits, the more likely there are to be Shadow Legends circling the zone. Get there as quickly as possible for the best chance of surviv

Since this PS5 game walkthrough mode takes place in a nighttime version of Kings Canyon, lighter cosmetics can give away a player’s position. While this won’t matter to Shadow Legends, it does matter to other Legends who can easily spot this contrast at a distance. Shadow Legends see all players in bright red, similar to the way Bloodhound sees enemies when using their Ultimate Abil
