It boggles my mind they gave us team wall hacks in Control, but enemy Caustics traps and gas are still the same colour.
-
Also why do friendly traps prevent you from regaining shields
ID: hxv477iID: hxv8mqiOh thank God
-
Mmm... I want that green barrel.
ID: hxut0epRead that in Caustic’s voice.
“Yes… my variables will be prettier than ever.”
ID: hxv9wf5now I want someone to draw caustic bedazzling his traps with pretty pink bows and sparkles while giggling like a little girl. And by someone I mean me.
ID: hxuxpe7I concur with this assessment.

Allies should be able to pop it but not break it
ID: hxv3o0fYeah sometimes people just want to troll you which is lame.
ID: hxv7245I remember waaaaay back in the day, a douchebag caustic and his buddy ran through the bunker tunnel, locked the door closed right after I entered (didn't know at the time, just assumed he was placing barrels) by placing one in a certain spot, then raced to the other end and locked that door closed too, and I couldn't shoot it or anything. I died in the storm...
ID: hxv988iI pop them when i know enemies are close for area of denial. Deter them from pushing time to heal or what not
ID: hxvqku0Last night I was playing Rampart, and there was a Pathfinder following me all game punching my barriers the moment I placed them.
No idea why. He also wasn't shooting at the enemy whenever we got shot at. Just kept getting in my way.... trolls are worse than bad teammates.
ID: hxv6e2kJust make it so teammates can break them by shooting the bottom multiple times but not the body of the trap. That would reduce teammates accidentally killing traps but still give them the option to break them if they need to get by. Trolls will just be able to break them regardless, but if someone wants to waste their limited ammo to break my infinitely recharging traps, so be it.

The universal wall hacks is fucking insane as a Bangalore main. She's practically useless in control.
ID: hxuwieaLifeline would like a word
ID: hxv1izqCare package being on a shorter cool-down while consistently dropping high-tier shields would like a word.
ID: hxvap9eCare packages can destroy ziplines, she's not completely useless
ID: hxvh92fI've honestly been picking bangalore in control when I never pick her anywhere else, because she's the only one whose ultimate I feel is functional as soon as you get it. I can just throw it out facing the enemy base and it'll probably hit a few people, or at least make it difficult for them to push through for a few seconds
I do always start as pathfinder to get a couple ziplines out, but after 2 or 3 there's really nowhere for me to put them that won't be helping the enemy team just as much as my team, so I switch to bangalore
ID: hxvvjwqYou're looking at it wrong - you have wallhacks so smoke the enemies, not yourself.
-
Green barrel sure, but let it be popped by your squad, and shot at the base. It’s essential if you have a dumb caustic to be able to shoot the base if you need too(the ones that throw it in the middle of the only doorway). That or you want to pop it because the enemy is coming and you need to slow them down.

Green means go
Red means dead
ID: hxvaa7dBlue means poo

BLUE BANGALORE AND CAUSTIC SMOKE FOR TEAMMATES SHOULD BE A THING
ID: hxv8uqxBlue sounds too similar if it's the same shade
I'd prefer brighter green Caustic gas and much darker Bangalore smoke. Albiet, the Bang smoke doesn't fully matter since everyone who goes in is kinda fucked
ID: hxv970xHmmm i like the idea. They should make it so bangalore's teammates see a little better in her smoke. Caustics teammates should also be able to see highlighted enemies in smoke
-
Does not matter. My barrels hardly live past three ticks.
-
Tbh I really want a friendly Fuze ult to be blue because I have no idea if it's safe to walk through it or not
-
It is because they are outlined if they are in you team.
-
If it doesn't make them money, it's not a priority.
ID: hxvony8Hey wanna buy a holospray for 20 bucks?
ID: hxvuht6Sure. Happy cake day

Friendly traps need to be breakable by your squad or caustics can grief.
ID: hxvhvphThey are….
ID: hxvd4k7Not to mention I definitely pop some friendly barrels in advance if I see people coming for me to hide myself or just deter them from pushing me.
ID: hxv00dsAnd teammates can grief caustics if you do that.
ID: hxv2j7pYeah, but being stuck because of a caustic such worse than caustic only having an ult. One lethal, ones annoying.
Those caustic bunker plays everyone loves, you used to be able to do that to teammates and their was nothing they could do about it.
-
They're already highlighted to your teammates. That's unnecessary.
ID: hxv4ag6Yeah but people often don't pay attention.
ID: hxv7yovThis! Why would someone need different colours if they are already highlighted?
Useless idea
-
Kind of wish they gave caustic traps thematic skins
ID: hxuxhcl“BuT tHeN hOw WoUlD nOoBs KnOw ThEy ArE cAuStIc BaRrElS?!” - devs
ID: hxv4zekTo be fair, with how different some skins can make characters look, that is a valid concern. For people, anyway. Overwatch has one thing on Apex and that is that one look at a silhouette will identify who you’re fighting. But the amount of times I’ve confused the new Valk skin for Pathfinder or the new Bangalore skin for Loba, only for smoke grenades to start flying… it’s a little much. As for the actual abilities I don’t see it being an issue client side, though. Just make it so you and your team can see it and display the usual stock gas trap for enemies. Then you don’t even need the team differentiation since your caustic’s traps are always gonna look funky.
-
Solution: makes all gas barrels harm you unless you're the fatman
ID: hxv8fv3I dunno about that one, champ.
ID: hxvgzmyThe worst designer idea there.
Pillar of the game: Can't harm teamates.
-
Why wouldn't I be able to shoot my caustics barrel? Stopid. Like the color though.
-
Even wattson fences look different so there’s no reason caustic traps should be the same color for everyone.
-
TIL friendly caustic barrels can be destroyed… I feel bad I definitely shoot every barrel and assumed because it was able to be killed it was an enemies
-
Nope. I’ve had a game where my squad was getting attacked and I took the roof to get the high ground. I managed to down the first squad but was then third partied, I tried going back inside but CAUSTIC placed his trap right in front of the door. We died needless to say
Ever since that game, if any caustic blocks a door I’ll instantly pop it

They apparently fixed that.
