Caustic's popularity in Apex Legends has hit an all-time low in Season 24, with a mere 0.6% pick rate across all modes. The situation is even more dire in higher ranks, where Master and Predator players select him only 0.2% of the time.

Key factors contributing to Caustic's decline:
- Reduced Gas Effectiveness
- Damage capped at 10 per tick (nerfed in Season 21)
- Decreased slowing effect
- Limited vision impairment
- Season 24 Changes Impact
- Assault class reveals enemy health bars on shield cracks
- New Battle Surge passive grants speed boosts
- Faster-paced gameplay conflicts with Caustic's defensive style
- Superior Alternatives
- Lifeline and Newcastle provide better revival capabilities
- Lifeline currently ranks as second-most picked legend
Future outlook remains challenging for Caustic, with upcoming Skirmisher and Recon class revamps potentially further diminishing his effectiveness. Without significant buffs, Caustic may continue to struggle in the current meta.
