Apex Legends devs respond to shield swapping issue from quitting players Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment have responded to Apex Legends player\u2019s complaints about being unable to shield swap with enemies who have decided to leave the game early. Over the last few years, Apex Legends players have managed to come up with a whole host of in-game tricks that play off the battle royale\u2019s mechanics. These have included combining two Legend ultimates into one to make an even more powerful ability, as well as a few others. One of the more popular mechanics, though, has been shield swapping. Typically, you\u2019ll pull off a shield swap by, well, swapping shields with enemies you\u2019ve just killed so that you can get a fresh bit of armor after a fight. It\u2019s designed to save time and inventory space so that you don\u2019t have to carry shield batteries around with you. However, players have been complaining following the Season 21 update, claiming that it doesn\u2019t work like it once did \u2013 especially if your teammate or enemy decides to leave the game. The issue was, again, highlighted by Redditor luiszinck on June 6, asking if the devs had removed the option to shield swap with an enemy who left the game. It drew a response from Respawn\u2019s community manager, Amy Thiessen. \u201cNot intended. Team is looking into it,\u201d she said, much to the delight of Apex players. \u201cThank you for specifying. That seemed like an odd change from the moment I noticed it. Glad to hear it isn\u2019t intentional,\u201d one fan said. \u201cThanks for the transparency!\u201d another added. Other players noted that they\u2019d picked it up as a bug a while ago, and that it has only been happening to \u201cpeople that leave when knocked.\u201d Season 21 has, so far, had some mixed reviews from players overall. ImperialHal claimed that things are pretty much the \u201cexact same\u201d as before, while others are delighted to be able to play Solos at last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
