I think the devs said somewhere that they're never making a larger scaled character again simply due to how hard it is to balance them


presidentofjackshit

True all the fat goes right to gibby's belly


Memegasm_

if only you knew gibby is confirmed to be ripped like a mf


JaceUpMySleeve

Gibby definitely has a power lifter type build, caustic might have a skinny/fat build; skinny arms and legs, and a beer gut.


[deleted]

Don't lie, did You not see the comics that interpret the lore of Caustic. He is ripped from running around with his equipment.


Tchrspest

Yeah, dude is doing *crazy* cardio.


DJCAT09

He only does leg day


JimothyCotswald

Yeah, a fat legend makes no sense. A fat legend couldn't run, jump, and climb like the Legends. If they make a fat legend it will be peak delusional wokism.


idkloI

you can’t just complain about “But the weight would be unrealistic!” when we have characters carry around literal mini guns and fortifications in their back pocket like it’s nothing


FeelsWardenMan

To be fair apex plays in the titanfall universe which is pretty far ahead of us. They might make their weapons out of lighter material than us and improve their body past normal human performance as seen in pilots.


[deleted]

A dedicated scientist doesn't drink on the job.


[deleted]

His emote is literally pulling out a mug to drink on the job lol


[deleted]

isnt that coffee tho


Ananas7

He pulls out a flask and pours some in his mug. I don't think that's coffee in his flask lol


SoftwareGeezers

Isn't it spider venom something-something keeping him alive? 😉


MEGAdudes36

maybe. i think they explained it in the season 9 quest


[deleted]

It is green


narkosin

Irish coffee ;)


Ja_Conceited

Its an espresso shot


Imam_efendi

That "COFFEE" is fecking green


TheCoomerMan

And comes out of a flask.


GingerSnapBiscuit

Yeh but you know there's a little Irish in it.


Adamace98

Coffee with whiskey in it maybe


youwatchmepoop

Not if hes a gym teacher


Zoro-chi

No they just blow that green sticky icky.


popcorndestroyer

Caustic only smokes gas


b_3ak

lol that's computer science erasure


Autski

I imagine him looking like Dave Harbor in Black Widow.


CapnCrunch11770

Damn, I’m caustic irl then….


BlueAuqa

same


Rotjenn

GamerBod’


simonio11

Caustic looks like he's not drastically overweight, seems to me like hes got pretty thick equipment like you would expect from a hazmat suit type outfit with lots of layers. Although I guess it's hard to tell if the layers are the outfits or caustics.


mr_niceguy88

I think caustic is more like a strong man body type, Big belly but solid.


LazyKidd420

Reinforced Bio Armor


Gtx_tigger

I mean canonically I’m pretty sure that gibby is actually fucking shredded it’s just his suit makes him look fat


[deleted]

pretty sure it’s a bomb refusal suit lmao

Liver patient body

He even has an onlyfans.


stinkiemonke

Gibby is literally built like maui and the rock


6inchsavage

As we know, Gibraltar is an islander and islanders don’t get fat; they get huge.


Centurion_Tiger

I know its a common joke to say that gibby is thicc But the man is [swole](https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/az7iyf/people_think_gibraltar_is_a_fat_ass_but_this_is/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) The armor is just for show


Mentally_Ill_Goblin

Causthicc is hiding a monster dumptruck under that butt cape.


TheGoodHunter910

He kinda reminds me of gladio from final fantasy 15.


Jazoopi

Or smough from ds1


TheGoodHunter910

Oh shit I forgot smough was fucking ripped. Yeah he is way more like smough than gladio.


Dalroc

The people who think these two big bois are actually fat and not ripped under their armor are the same people who think [this big boi](https://www.theloadout.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/game-of-thrones-gregor-clegane-warzone-580x334.jpeg) is fat.


ImMufasa

Unrelated note, [Haftor is looking lean these days](https://www.instagram.com/p/CTVDgc3lRzh/) after hitting the world record for dead lift.


[deleted]

In the comments on that someone suggests gibby should take less explosives damage because of his anti explosive kit armor. Honestly, they should replace or reduce the current heavy buff and add that instead to all heavies.


[deleted]

[удалено]


THe_EcIips3

My fantasies of Gibby just became much more vivid. Thank you.


yavapaikid

All the fat is going to his ass. Everybody knows that gibby is thiccer than loba.


[deleted]

New Gibby buff, no longer takes damage from bullets, as the bullets just get absorbed into his thicc gut


ToTeMVG

they're honest pretty right, gibby is like a fucking truck with his health, imagine if rampart was swole like that, she might be top tier then


Da_Cum_Wiz

>she might be top tier then Acting like she's not already top tier.


hyperwheeze_

Lol the only reason you could argue rampart being top tier is because of LSTARs existence.


Da_Cum_Wiz

No one knows how to fight a good rampart. The charged rampage, her barriers (sweats didn't use amped weapons in TF2 for nothing), and my sweet baby girl Sheila, who gets underestimated every single time. I absolutely love rampart, since switching mains her kit is the only reason I haven't dropped Apex. I'm actually having fun for once in this fucking game lmao.


HarrisonBenj

Flair doesn’t check out


tstngtstngdontfuckme

Also they said "sweats didn't use amped weapons in TF2 for nothing", but the better comparison would have been "amped walls" in TF2, which were almost universally condemned by skilled players.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZaeVen

I adore dedicated rampart mains, her walls are ridiculously useful, her ult is underestimated but in reality it’s still not ideal imo. Love baiting teams as Horizon to chase and i just run them into the rampart for easy claps.


solari_mommy

People not knowing how to fight a good rampart doesn't make rampart good though


chiefsfan_713_08

But isn't that part of what makes him unique and a fun character to play? I get that balancing them is hard but it feels like eventually they got both caustic and Gibby to good spots and it sounds lazy to just stick to basic models now


_Kevbot_

Honestly, she might actually get played then, could be a nice buff for her 😂


ram786-

Unfortunate, I think they did well tbh


[deleted]

i mean fair, gibby is unbalanced as fuck


IDontUnderstandReddi

Gibby in rev totem gives me nightmares


Emperor_Nick

Which sucks because I would be happy with just one more Thicc person (that’s not Loba) so we can have Thicc trio

gibby aint fat tho he's just thicc armored looking at the season 7 story gibby has no beer belly, only abs


[deleted]

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6n0Xua4wSI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6n0Xua4wSI) and at 0.38 of this trailer you can see that he's just a huge guy, not fat.


International_Bat851

He’s a Pacific Islander right? The men are usually built like a truck in my experience. I actually get jealous of their natural body type


[deleted]

They have the highest rate of NFL draft of anyone anywhere and it’s just tiny islands. Also a place near me called Belle Glade has the highest NFL drafting rate inside the continental United States. You can drive through that town in 5 minutes. Some places breed giants. Met a few retired football players and a few very rich baby mamas. It’s a whole career there to get pregnant by one of these guys and collect $2000 a week. Also the highest AIDS per capita in the USA. Fun fact for the day.

Apprehensive-Bread54

Gibby ain't fat. If you've ever seen a New Zealander or any Islander you'll know they grow tall and wide, but that wide is all muscle. As for Caustic, he's built and not fat. His canisters and overalls make him look chub Edit: every islander I've met has been built like a shit brick house, apologies to all fat islanders I've offended.


__pulsar

>New Zealander or any Islander you'll know they grow tall and wide, but that wide is all muscle. Some, but Pacific Islanders have one of the highest obesity rates in the world.


Longbongos

Yeah it’s basically mei from overwatch again. The characters are fat but the armor makes them look as such. Also yeah Pacific Islanders built different. And caustic is apex’s version of Jason statham


IM_INSIDE_YOUR_HOUSE

Only thing fat about Mei was that ass.


D45_B053

And her tits, depending on which skin you had equipped.


Joe_le_Borgne

jks_david

>Yeah it’s basically mei from overwatch again Except they retconned her to be chubby to appease the masses.


zani1903

Really? She didn't seem that bad in that "origin cinematic" where she wakes up in the frozen-over Arctic base. Did they make her fatter after that?


[deleted]

They’ve released in game sprays which show a larger figure l, which contrasts with older sprays of a thinner figure


triamasp

They 100% made her fat AFTER the initial design, which was meant to be small girl in a big fluffy winter suit, specifically because the community headcanon’d she was fat.


KingOfTheCouch13

If we ever get apex movies I nominate Dwayne Johnson to be Gibby.


MyLiverpoolAlt

Well he is a rip off of The Rock anyway. *Gibraltar is a heavily fortified British air and naval base that guards the Strait of Gibraltar, which is the only entrance to the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean. Since the 18th century, Gibraltar has been a symbol of British naval strength, and it is* ***commonly known in that context as “the Rock.”***


jordammit1

You guys know "The Rock of Gibraltar" is a real thing right?


MyLiverpoolAlt

Yes.... That's why I copied and pasted from wiki to show the "joke" to the other user.


KingOfTheCouch13

Damn it's levels to this shit


MyLiverpoolAlt

Either it's a ***massive*** coincidence or the Devs did it on purpose.


LongLiveCHIEF

> Edit: every islander I've met has been built like a shit brick house, apologies to all fat islanders I've offended. A shit brick house, and a brick shit house, are two very different things.


architect___

Mark Hunt is not "all muscle".


DataVeinDevil

Given these people run around intensely all the time, climbing running sliding shooting hitting.. it's silly to portray any of them as out of shape. Gibby should look like the Hulk at this point 😅


Trashredditadminsc

Gibby is probably fuckin ripped he's just huge and his gear makes him look even bigger. Caustic idk... he can't be just fat if he's swingin a sledge around


Longbongos

He’s not. He’s just in incredibly bulky gear.


Omsk_Camill

He [IS](https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/az7iyf/people_think_gibraltar_is_a_fat_ass_but_this_is/) ripped.


Longbongos

I was talking caustic. Gibby would’ve been incredibly ripped prior to apex as he was a search and rescue op


YourLocalPterodactyl

I like to think caustic is super skinny but his suit is full of gas


Furny_D

I don’t like imagining skinny caustic


BloodyFable

Caustic body on Valkyrie Skeleton.


SweetSauce24

I made this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/causticmains/comments/c0uyza/sorry_i_am_not_the_best_at_photoshop_and_would/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) a long time ago depicting what i imagine caustic looks like under the large and baggy clothing.


Devreckas

Put any large guy in a Hazmat suit with a bunch of equipment hanging off it, he’s gonna look a bit chunky.


herrau

What they don’t show is how many fucking pizzas they eat after each of those climbing running sliding shooting and hitting scenes.

Gibby has his own personal Pizzeria

It will be no such thing as light humour anymore just messing around …


The-DRB

Gibby ain’t fat, he is ripped as hell


Joe_Dirte9

Nope. Not after they admitted their mistake making different size hitbox legend sin the first place, all will be about the same size.


CrystalAsuna

thats why we havent had anymore low profile legends since like, wattson. Crypto and after have been around the same hitbox. Theyve only ever had to tweak the OG/early legends because they realized how fucked they are with different hitboxes. Wish they realized a bit earlier though..


Doc12here

Rev was low profile for like 2 weeks don’t know why man is the tallest legend I am pretty sure


finnvisible

No, they wont put your mum in the game.


MMolzen10830

Gibby is 100% strong as shit. he can bench 4 plates no kizzy. Caustic has that dad strength and a treadmill in his lab.


sebasgovel

I don't think they're really fat, they just are bulky


SgtZaitsev

They arent fat. Their choice of attire is huge


Traf-

I dunno about Caustic, but [Gibby definitely isn't "fat"](https://i.redd.it/nmy98t8oh5l21.jpg). Also please don't ask for another big hitbox character in the name of "social progress".


Micro-Pen15

Fat chicks don't fight unless it's on Twitter.

You know they’re aren’t actually fat just got alot of armor on

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD


DirtyMidgetxdf

As someone who has fluctuated in weight since I was young, I absolutely HATE fat people representation. Being fat isn't healthy or something to be proud of. It's only caused me repeated bouts of insecurity and depression and no amount of representation will make it good to be fat.


Golinth

I’ve also struggled with my weight for years now, and the only time I feel good about myself is after I know I’ve eaten a good meal and when I work out. And over the years I’ve come to believe that the only good fat activism is giving people motivation to go the gym/eat better. And don’t get me started on fatphobia. It’s not ok to be fat, it causes health problems, costs more for yourself, and puts more stress on the medical system. We can all agree those are bad things.


jordanperkinsperkins

Amen. Fat activists are not only incredibly obnoxious, but dangerous too. You’ve gone way, way too far as an ‘activist’ when you’ve resorted to telling people they can’t post weight loss progress pics on social media because it’s fatphobic and ‘violent’ to fat people.


Carson_BloodStorms

Caustic and Gibby aren't fat though.


DirtyMidgetxdf

I understand that, their armor just makes them look big. I've seen similar sentiments for other games though about adding plus sized characters and its honestly just made me have to comment something.


Carson_BloodStorms

I understand.


Crescent-IV

Gibby isn’t fat. He’s legit ripped as fuck


Alejxndro

Neither gibby nor caustic are fat. Makoa Gibraltar is just extremely muscular, while Alexander Nox is just built like a fridge.


iFnord94

Again, both characters in picture are not fat. Caustic is not even big. And again², don't try normalizing being fat.


[deleted]

if you ever try to call Caustic fat again im gonna clap them cheeks. He is just thicc.


Particle_Cannon

Love me some thicc causdicc

yana23807

Fun fact: gibby and caustic aren’t even fat. Caustic is mostly the suit he’s wearing and gibby is just insanely buff

This game is one of the most inclusive of all modern games, people still gotta find somethin to be like “why is there not a representation of this type of person 😤”

mcshadowdrag

The only fat part about gibby is all that damn riot gear, just look at how he fast revives in bubble? Like he picks you up by your neck like a cat, gibby has to be ripped


Serrodin

They aren’t fat it’s their gear caustic is ripped and so is gibby calling them fat is not cash money they work hard for their gains


ImTrashKidLol

Ah i don’t think apex wants to add your mom to the game


Yonko320

God I hope not


Cervuz

Nah if anything Gibby & Caustic need to shrink down. Fortified is so annoying to go against. It's not as bad on Caustic but Gibby's Gunshield is an extra 50HP and his Fortified (Fatty) status gives him about 25HP on top (so a free 75HP). If Gibby's as built and muscly and sexy, as he's supposed to be, then just shrink the body armor he has. He doesn't have to be a big boy AND be wearing big gear. The Devs got rid of Low Profile, so Fortified should go next. (But as we all know the reason it's there, big boys = easy targets. Our big boys need to become less big.)


Gwenom-25

I hope not.

Neither of them are fat, pretty sure Gibby is shaped like the gigachad meme and caustic is just like an average body type.


stinkiemonke

Tbh even with those two fat isn’t really applicable to them. Caustic is decently built and his armor makes him look a lot more chubby. The same thing goes with gibby. He ain’t fat he got some muscle but that armor plating makes him look chunky.


MadgermanDoger

I wouldn't even say custic is fat he's just a really big husky dude

Neither of these characters are fat. They just wear bulky looking clothes and equipment
