Evo Shields made permanent in Apex Legends following System Override Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment have announced that the popular Evo Shields in Apex Legends Season 4 will now become a permanent feature of the battle royale game, not just part of the System Override event. Apex Legends\u2019s developers were open to feedback about the new type of armor since they were still undecided if the item type could have a place in the wider playlists of the battle royale and have now made a decision. \u201cTo start, the Evo Shield will be exclusive to the Deja Loot gamemode and spawn at higher rates,\u201d the devs said in the System Override Collection Event patch notes. \u201cAfter the event we\u2019ll consider adding the Evo Shield to all matches, so please give us your feedback.\u201d The trial period for Deja Loot\u2019s unique armor must have been a success since it\u2019s now going to be included in Ranked, Play Apex and future LTMs from here on out. It\u2019s unknown how Evo Shields will affect games with higher stakes than a casual LTM, but we\u2019ll soon find out because the decision has been made by developers. System Override may have ended, but Evo Shields are here to stay. Find them in Ranked, Play Apex, and limited-time modes moving forward. pic.twitter.com\/axVqFqzVHW \u2014 Apex Legends (@PlayApex) March 17, 2020 While Evo Shield was a fun item to play with in Deja Loot, they can be an asset for competitive players trying to earn a Champions screen in Ranked. Unlike typical body armor, Evo Shields become more valuable as players deal damage to reach certain thresholds. This can result in a late-game armor that provides more protection than the coveted Legendary (Gold) Body Shield. The breakdown for the Evo Shield\u2019s progression: 0 Damage \u2013 25 Shield – 100 Damage \u2013 50 Shield – 300 Damage \u2013 100 Shield – 500 Damage \u2013 125 Shield – Since the armor and its current level can carry over to another user, teams can exchange upgraded Evo Shields among themselves or find them in death boxes from a fallen opponent. The armor will definitely add a new layer of decision-making in Ranked where late-game fights can be decided by mere pixels worth of health. It will be interesting to see if Respawn experiments with \u2018Evo\u2019 variants for other gear like Backpacks, Knockdown Shields, and Helmets, but until then players can expect to come across Evo Shields in all playlists for Apex Legends in Season 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
