What are the best legends to pair with Caustic in Apex Legends?

Here is a list of all the characters players can utilize with Caustic to create effective combos in Apex Legends:

1) Fuse

Fuse is an outstanding Assault legend who can poke enemies from a safe distance using his signature ability. He can also break doors of buildings to help Caustic place down toxic traps in order to flush enemies out of position. Similarly, Fuse can combine the same ability to take control of areas where the gas traps do not reach, clearing a lot of space without wasting any ammo.

Fuse has one of the most effective zoning ultimate abilities in the game that can be used to either keep out or block enemy teams. This can be used in combination with Caustic's ultimate which affects a limited area and can continuously damage any opponents inside. This makes it almost impossible for any trapped character to escape as Fuse's ultimate blocks the exit routes and Caustic's ability spreads toxic gases in the area.

The enemies receive ticking damage in Caustic's ultimate and would receive burning damage and movement speed reduction if they walk over Fuse's ultimate. This can be used on isolated teams and anyone occupying the zone edges. It is a quick and sure-shot way of picking up some free kills.

2) Newcastle

Newcastle is a Support character who specializes in providing physical shields. His tactical ability, Mobile Shield, can help both Newcastle and Caustic push up and claim space in enemy territory. Caustic can use his Nox Gas Traps to then effectively control the area and prevent enemies from recklessly pushing them.

Furthermore, Newcastle's ultimate ability, the Castle Wall is also a perfect tool to claim a lot of space from enemy players and take absolute control over it using Caustic's Nox Gas Barrels and Grenade. If someone dares to push the duo, the toxic gas will eat away their flesh HP, slowly choking them to death.

3) Loba

Loba is a great support character to duo with Caustic Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2. This is because the legend is capable of providing a massive amount of loot to the squad while also maintaining the ability to quickly escape in case members lose gunfights. This character increases the accessibility of loot in a region and can be used to acquire items without needing to leave cover.

The recent changes to Loba make her a meta-tier Legend in the game. Her Translocator now has two charges, which can be used both offensively and defensively. Players can use it to pressure enemies from off-angles, and with the help of grenades, force them to funnel into buildings that are pre-trapped by Caustic.

When enemies enter this zone, Caustic can use his Nox Gas Grenade alongside his Nox Barrels to kill enemies without much resistance. All in all, the duo have great synergy in Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2.

4) Rampart

Rampart's shields are one of the most useful tactical abilities that can increase outgoing damage and block a certain amount of incoming damage completely. This can be used to fortify one's position on the map and hold down the fort during final zones with relative ease. Caustic can deploy the gas traps near these cover walls to disrupt enemy rushes.

Rampart's ultimate is another powerful skill that can mow down opponents with ease in Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2. This can be combined with Caustic's ultimate as it reduces visibility and can make the enemy team an easy target for Rampart's machine gun. Moreover, Caustic's ultimate deals ticking damage and can be used to catch hiding teams off guard and draw them to the open, making them easy to eliminate.

5) Octane

Octane is a fantastic Legend to duo with Caustic in Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2. Octane provides players with access to mobility which would otherwise not be available to anchor characters like Caustic, or even other Controller class Legends.

Octane, with his Stim, is a hypermobile character. Where Caustic provides his team with the ability to trap down areas, Octane, with his abilities, can pressure enemies from unique angles, funneling them into Caustic's death trap. A combination like this can absolutely wreck squads.

Caustic's ultimate ability, Nox Gas Grenade is a deployable gas grenade that slows enemies down, hinders vision, and deals flesh damage to enemies. Caustic can use this aggressively by combining it with Octane's Jump Pad. Using the Jump Pad, the duo can push into enemy territory and splash them with a combination of the Nox Gas Grenade and other ordinances.

That's everything that you need to know about the 5 best legends to duo with Caustic in Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2.
