Apex Legends pros call for big nerf to Gibraltar\u2019s dome shield Respawn EntertainmentSome Apex Legends pros and competitive players have called for a major nerf to Gibraltar\u2019s dome shield ability, arguing that it needs to given a set amount of health, so that it can be destroyed. Gibraltar started off life in Apex Legends as an under-used character, but has since become a meta pick in high-level play, and especially at the pro level, thanks to buffs over the years. From tweaks to his \u201cbroken\u201d gun shield to suspicious unannounced dome shield buffs, it\u2019s fair to say Gibraltar has gone under a fair few changes. However, some Apex Legends pros are now asking for nerfs to Gibraltar, specifically to his dome shield. Currently, Gibraltar\u2019s dome shield lasts 12-seconds and blocks all incoming and outgoing bullets. On December 26, Apex Legends pro John \u2018Hakis\u2019 H\u00e5kansson put forward an old idea of making Gibby\u2019s shield dome withstand 2000 damage before breaking.

This but more like 2000 HP on the shield would be cool https:\/\/t.co\/UBawThW9eU \u2014 Alliance_Hakis (@Alliance_Hakis) December 26, 2021 Hakis continued the thread assuring the casual Apex players that the change wouldn\u2019t affect them so much, where Gibby is still a fairly low pick: \u201cThis change would not affect casual players, it would only affect the game at the highest level.\u201d Obey player decypher agreed, also suggesting there should be more health on the dome. The series of tweets sparked up a community discussion on Gibraltar\u2019s state in the game. \u201cFor once, the pros are actually right,\u201d one player responded. This is a much needed nerf for gibby. For once, the pros are actually right. Gibby has needed a nerf for many seasons but only gets buffed. This is a great nerf \u2014 ItstheFox_x (@XItsthefox) December 26, 2021 But, some players were not happy with the proposed changes at all. \u201cLet\u2019s make Gibby even worse in pubs, it\u2019s not like everything in his kit hasn\u2019t been nerfed already,\u201d said one player. As yes let\u2019s make Gibby even worse in pubs \ud83e\udd21 Not like everything in his kit hasn\u2019t been nerfed already \ud83d\ude44 \u2014 Tired of life (@Ozymandiascries) December 26, 2021 \u201cThank god the devs don\u2019t listen to the players, this is just an awful idea\u2026 absolutely terrible,\u201d said another. Respawn devs are constantly listening to player feedback. However, they\u2019ll want to take a deep dive and look at their own data before they make any changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
