Is Caustic getting a buff in Apex Legends?

If the leaks turn out to be true, then yes, Caustic will be getting quite a major buff in the ongoing season of Apex Legends. While not done intentionally, Caustic has turned out to be the worst possible character in the meta over the past few seasons. Ever since the class and Legend overhauls have been implemented, he has fallen off the meta, and his kit is extremely weak.

That said, the leaks from HYPERMYSTx do indicate a plethora of buffs to his abilities and perks. If they were to surface in the game, as they generally do, then Caustic will be in a much healthier spot. Here's a look at the potential buffs coming his way:

Research Points

Caustic will now be able to collect Research Points in the game. Different in-game interactions will provide him with these points. You can continue collecting them to invest in perk upgradation within the title. Here's a look into Research Points and how you can spend them:

• Scanning Death Boxes: +30 research
• Interacting with Rings Consoles: +40 research
• 50% of poison-related actions count toward research
• 30 research points = 1 upgrade point (you can select a level 2 perk)
• Collecting an extra 130 research points will allow you to pick a level 3 perk
• A maximum of two upgrade points will be achievable (total 260 research)
