Apex Legends Knockdown Shield bug spells doom for Revenant\u2019s Death Totem Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players are reporting what could be an unintended interaction between Revenant\u2019s Ultimate Ability, Death Totem, and the Legendary Knockdown Shields that carry a life-saving ability. Respawn Entertainment\u2019s Season 4 character has been garnering massive intrigue for his aggressive kit that includes an ult which lets players experiment with their playstyle without getting punished too hard. The Death Totem \u201cprotects those who use it from death for a set amount of time,\u201d so \u201cinstead of being killed or downed, users will return to the totem.\u201d But it seems like a bugged interaction with the gold Knockdown Shield makes that last stipulation a hit or miss, as some players are reporting that the item\u2019s special perk can negate the Death Totem\u2019s effect. \u201cDon\u2019t take Gold knockdown shield while playing Revenant,\u201d Reddit user \u2018AceAxos\u2019 said. \u201cIt cancels your ult for you.\u201d The Apex community member explained that they had the gold shield equipped while having Revenant\u2019s Ult active on them. After getting downed, they noticed that the game must have prioritized the shield\u2019s Resurrection ability. That\u2019s a bit problematic since Revenat\u2019s Death Totem is supposed to protect players from getting downed, regardless of what tier Knockdown Shield they have equipped. Early adopters of the new Legend have been using the ability to test the mettle of an opposing squad before committing to an engagement; with the bug between the Legendary equipment and the Synthetic Nightmare\u2019s ult, that option is taken away. Instead of being revived near the totem, players are instead being left stranded behind enemy lines if they have the special shields equipped. Comment byu\/AceAxos from discussion inapexlegends Another user by the name of \u2018IsidearmI\u2019 saw something similar happen to them: \u201cI can confirm this. Had a gold Knockdown Shield, used [Revenant\u2019s] ult then died and was immediately downed with the option to self res.\u201d Others believe the problem could be caused by a user malfunction, like forgetting to actually activate the Ult on themselves after it was placed down or getting out of its range. With more people jumping into the Apex Games as Revenant, there are sure to be more experimentation to see if this interaction is normal as intended or not. And if the latter, then Respawn should be quick to patch the bug that negates the effect of the Death Totem ultimate ability<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
