How to get easy kills by \u201cshield swapping\u201d in Apex Legends Apex Legends players constantly find themselves in hectic situations during a firefight, and one player showed that a bit of trickery with shield swapping could land easy kills. While Respawn Entertainment\u2019s battle royale features various Legends with unique abilities to trick opponents, sometimes players can take matters into their own hands by using some of the game\u2019s mechanics to win out against other people. When a fight breaks down into a chase, the person running away doesn\u2019t always have to be forced to think \u2018defense\u2019 \u2013 especially if they find a Body Shield lying around that could be put to good use. Low risk, High rewards That\u2019s what Reddit user \u2018Metrixx_\u2019 highlighted in their clip in which they showed \u201cwhy shield swapping is a must,\u201d seeing how it can actually leave a foe open for attack. As they were seemingly third-partying an ongoing battle, the lone player can be seen charging into a whole team \u2013 downing two players as the third opponent completely took out his shields. With no armor, Metrixx took off running upstairs, escaping the line of sight for the enemy Wraith. In the second-floor lobby, the player saw a Common Body Shield and quickly swapped out their Epic armor for it. Turning the corner to hide, the enemy Wraith took the bait and switched to the purple armor conveniently waiting for her out in the open. Even with less than half health and a common armor attached, Metrixx felt confident to take the fight against the pursuing Wraith. They knew that the armor was completely depleted since they had manually dropped it moments before. \u201cExcuse me, my friend,\u201d Metrixx quipped explaining his logic for the play. \u201cI must quickly exchange my shield so you may pick it up and get confused as to why it had not worked for you\u201d Later on in the clip, the player reclaimed the Epic Body Armor from the opponent\u2019s death box to find it at full health \u2013 which is another trick that Apex Legends players can make use of. As competitors in the Apex Games evolve and refine their tactics, there\u2019s bound to be even more tricks discovered to get a leg up in the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
