Apex Legends' planned Caustic buff reversed

Respawn has u-turned on the recent Caustic buff that was due to be introduced in Apex Legends' Fight Night update. The patch notes originally stated that Caustic's ultimate ability, the canister of Nox gas, would have its cooldown reduced from 25 seconds to 20, meaning players could theoretically use it three times a minute.

However, it appears that Respawn decided to reverse the decision, as the buff is not live and has been removed from the patch notes. However, the text explaining their decision to buff Caustic remains in the notes, which explains that, "the Caustic buff is an extra bit of compensation for the loss of vision blur from gas in Season 7.

"Note that looking at our data, the Season 7 change was a solid buff for Caustic, but he's not quite where we want him to be." However, something must have changed, as the buff has been reversed and Caustic's ultimate cooldown remains at 25 seconds.
