Caustic might be considered by many as the weakest character in Apex Legends but his diehard players have shown there is still a way to remain relevant with him in ranked play.
Ranked play was introduced to Apex Legends at the start of Season 2 and it gave players a chance to test their competitive chops again fellow players.

Caustic has been best known for his gas rooms which required him to drop his traps and slow engulfing his enemies in the toxins that released.
In ranked, that’s a harder thing to accomplish but that hasn’t stopped one player from showing how you can still use his traps and come away as the elusive Apex Champion at the end of a round.
