How to use Newcastle\u2019s shield like a Gibby dome in Apex Legends Respawn\/EAApex Legends players have found a way to use Newcastle\u2019s shield like a budget Gibraltar dome, which is preventing them from taking damage from behind. Although there were rumors about other legends, mainly Blisk and Hawk, Newcastle was added to the Apex Games when Respawn dropped their Season 13: Saviors update back in early May. Since his arrival, the Hero of Harris Valley, who is actually Bangalore\u2019s brother, has quickly become a popular pick for Apex Legends \u2013 with many considering him a replacement for Lifeline because of his shield and revive abilities. Newcastle has also drawn comparisons with Gibraltar, given he can also create areas of protection with said shield. While his shield doesn\u2019t cover an area as completely as Gibby\u2019s dome, players have found a way to make it work in a similar fashion. The trick was highlighted by Redditor kuroneko4696 on May 30, noting that the small drone that appears when you place Newcastle\u2019s Mobile Sheild ability will actually block attacks. While the drone doesn\u2019t seem like it should block things, the Redditor showed a couple of examples with Arc Star grenades, Thermites, and even Bangalore\u2019s Rolling Thunder ultimate. If the drone is in the right spot, and you\u2019re tucked up next to the shield, the explosive attacks cannot bypass the drone and will be unable to damage you. As one of the Redditor\u2019s clips shows, if you\u2019re backed up against the edge of the zone, it is pretty much a low-cost Gibby dome. Of course, the trick isn\u2019t going to help you if an enemy team decides to push up with their weapons and abilities, but if they lazily throw grenades, you\u2019ll be fine. Now, Respawn may decide to make a tweak at some point \u2013 say giving the drone some HP similar to Lifeline\u2019s wall \u2013 if it becomes overpowered, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see on that front. For now, it\u2019s pretty useful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
