Apex Legends players want a change to \u2018blinding\u2019 Evo Shields Respawn EntertainmentThe new Evo Shield in Apex Legends gives players a chance to get protection stronger than Epic Body Armor (Purple), but it comes with a glaring issue that people are starting to notice. The item can be leveled by damaging non-downed players, and will give off a \u201cperpetual distinctive glow\u201d that lets people identify them more easily. But in the first-person point-of-view, upgrading the shield gives a blinding effect. Evo shields require a certain amount of damage you need to inflict before leveling up the armor through its stages. Players become fully aware they\u2019ve reached the final stage because of a bright glow that spans across the screen. While that\u2019s a great indicator to tell the user that they have another bar of shield to play with, it could hinder a firefight like Reddit user \u2018Xayzac\u2019s gameplay clip shows. \u201cIf the devs want feedback on Evo Shields, let\u2019s start with how unnecessary this flash is,\u201d they said.

Xayzac had to briefly stop their shots to wait out the effect since you could hardly make out what was on the other side. The light show reminded the Apex community of the problematic Muzzle Flash that\u2019s been a part of the battle royale since launch, but only just patched with the System Override update on March 3. User \u2018Dindeyy\u2019 was baffled with the design decision that was reminiscent of the problem the devs had just fixed: \u201cReduce muzzle flash for visibility, add blinding flash effect.\u201d Previously, muzzle flash problems made it difficult to see the other side of a gun while taking shots and effects from the Evo Shield could be equally distracting. \u201cI actually died because of this stupid and, not to mention, unnecessary animation,\u201d user \u2018_Shivoham\u2019 said. Respawn have been open about taking in community feedback for the Evo Shield in case they want to transition it over to the main Apex Legends playlists, and fixing the armor\u2019s animation could be the first step.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
