Apex Legends dev confirms changes coming to gold knockdown shields Respawn\/EAAn Apex Legends developer has confirmed that changes will be coming to the controversial gold knockdown shield, though, they\u2019re playing their cards close to the chest as to exactly when they\u2019ll be revealed. With Respawn Entertainment making a number of changes to Ranked play in Season 13, Apex Legends players have had plenty of new things to get to grips with after the update. The changes to Ranked were, at first, welcomed by the community but they\u2019ve caused headaches since. Not only are players frustrated by the new distribution of ranks, but gold knockdown shields have also been a sore point. Players \u2013 both casual and professional \u2013 have regularly complained about the survival item\u2019s power in Ranked, calling for them to be removed outright. While that isn\u2019t going to happen, changes are coming eventually. The topic of the knockdown shields was brought up to Respawn\u2019s Evan Nikolich during an interview with The Loadout, and the design director for Apex Legends noted that they\u2019ve heard the feedback. \u201cI will not commit to anything at this time, but we are evaluating and changes will be coming in the future,\u201d Nikolich said, urging fans to continue making their voices heard with regard to feedback. Obviously, it would be nice to have a point as to when the change might come down the pipe, but Respawn are clearly working hard to address the issue given they\u2019ve now doubled down on a change. Previously, game designer John \u2018JayBiebs\u2019 Larson noted that he\u2019d also heard the complaints about the power of the shield\u2019s self-revive, and suggested it may get tuned down. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see as to when the changes will be rolled out, but at least there will be a tweak and it\u2019s not just being ignored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
