As Caustic main, I'm pissed, after the last patch, enemy can easily destroy trap before it fully deployed by shooting them.

Well, this's insult to already very slowed deploy trap, now, when Caustic have a battle outside the building, try to create/control the zone, putting traps , enemy simply destroy it very easily, so basically caustic got exposed with big body, without any ability to protect himself. 

I can't push enemy anymore with trap, trap only usefull inside the building now (pre-set up), so basically they force Caustic to stay inside a building.

I like to hear from other caustic main, what do you guys think ?

So? thoose thingys are Traps and not gasgrenades...

they shouldnt have been usable as a throw in middle in fight thingy in the first place.

He has the fortified passive cuz he is fat.

@matzesingt  Really not the point.

Everybody who complains about caustic chiefly references the fact that he's a camper.

For people like me who play caustic pretty often, but in a highly aggressive manner this has basically screwed us over by forcing us to building camp.

You're basically given the choice of sit in a building or not use your tactical at all now...which sucks.

@matzesingt It's not a grenade, main purpose is for zone control, but you can't do zone control if it got destroy in 1 shot ??? !!! 

I think they need to give at least 40-50 HP so need at least 4-5 bullets to destroy it.

@asukojo  I'd be fine with the HP idea if it meant they wasn't invulnerable once triggered.

What I'd much prefer is a quicker activation time. Any spud can quickly disable a trap that takes like 3 seconds to activate fully.

@asukojoAlready made a thread on that myself. We are basicly forced to camp now, few people used Caustic aggressively and we got * over for no reason, which further encourages camping cause a Caustic siege is easily shut down. Undo that nerf, and remove the buff that teammates are no longer slowed, give Caustic some QoL like remote detonations and team colored barrels, and he'd be fine.

I guess the reason they change is  in Europe competition, Alliance has Caustic and that Caustic is very agressive, push hard and inflicted a lot of pains to the whole lobby so the whole lobby CRIES to respawn so they made his trap become impotent to push now. 

But How Caustic suppose to control the zone now ?? 

1. His trap is very slow to deploy.

2. His trap cannot be thrown far away.

3. His trap now can be easily destroyed !

Respawn just took out his tactical and his critical function: Zone Control.  ☹️

@matzesingtJust because something isn't used as intended doesn't mean it hurts the game. It took invaluable strats away, made a character both more niche and boring (Caustic is a lot worse as a combat medic now since its often not possible to revive or cover people to heal up), and made good Wattson mains a lot harder to counter as a Caustic breach was an effective counter, sometimes the only counter as the barrels aren't affected by pylons.

All that so we can call gas barrels \"traps\" now?

@BaldWraithSimpYou can still shoot it out before Caustic can activate, go out of range, reposition, get out and fight him etc. Or if you are smart, not fight him in an area where he can easily pin you down, cause thats a mistake on your part.

Also you are equating aggressive Caustics with Bunker camping/trapping, which is what every single Caustic on this post wants to counter and discourage, and comparing Caustic gas to Grapple, which was both a mobility tool and get out of jail free card, the traps are neither, a lot of wrongs in your argument.

Also \"its Lifelines job\", so what? By that logic we could easily remove/nerf Gibby's bubble, Bangalores smoke, Revenants silence and death totem, Wraiths portal and Wattsons entire kit cause they all help with revives and healing safely. Lifeline just does it better.
