## Biography

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 make sure 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.

## Abilities

### Nox Gas Trap

 Type
 Cooldown
 Description

* Info
* Tips
* Bugs

You can hold up to three charges of this ability, and gain one charge every 20 seconds. Up to six traps can be active on the map at once and you're able to pick up unused traps to regain a charge.

Your enemies and team mates will be slowed inside the gas and are unable to sprint.
* Shooting the base of the trap before it activates will destroy it without releasing the gas.
* It's good to throw a trap in a smokescreen generated by a Bangalore's Smoke Launcher, especially if enemies are hiding in it.
* When outnumbered or in a sticky situation, throw multiple traps around you, the enemies bullets will hit your traps, setting them off, allowing you to escape or heal to stay in the fight.
* When going through Wraith's Dimensional Rift portals, throw a trap at the end to catch enemies off guard trying to get your squad from behind and reveal their position due to your passive.

If you throw the trap underneath you, you'll be in its textures, works with teammates too. Throwing the trap under Lifeline's Care Package before it lands will cause the trap to slowly fly away.
### Nox Vision

 Type
 Cooldown
 Description

* Info
* Tips

Enemies inside the gas created from your tactical and ultimate abilities are highlighted green, similar to a threat scope. This vision is not obstructed by walls or other obstacles.
* Your teammates do not share this vision, so be sure to communicate to them the locations of enemies you can see.

### Nox Gas Grenade

 Type
 Charge time
 Description

* Info
* Tips

Deals ever-increasing damage from 1 to 10 for every second spent in the gas.
* Do not use this ability and expect it to kill an entire squad. Similar to Bangalore's Rolling Thunder, its main utility comes in the fact that enemies are forced to either evacuate the area or suffer the consequences of damage, obscured vision, inability to sprint, etc.
* Using this ability in large, open areas is often a waste. Try to save it for when enemies are occupying a building, a small area or are hiding behind a cover too dangerous to bypass.
* Of course, all enemies that find themselves in the gas cloud are subject to your passive ability. Use this to hunt down and kill enemies while they are weakened.
