Legend Updates
Alongside some updates for Controllers, changes have been made to Bangalore and Caustic. Both characters are making a return to the meta with exciting new abilities.

Caustic’s Nox Gas is now more lethal than ever. With the updates, the gas provides reliable area control, while his new Field Research perk allows for multiple upgrades to be unlocked simultaneously.
Bangalore
The new upgrade tree grants Bangalore increased flexibility, allowing her to effectively counter entrenched foes with new breaching mechanics.
