Knockdown Shields left \u201cuseless\u201d after Apex Legends Season 6 update Respawn\/EA[jwplayer Zz7BSKP7]Apex Legends fans are growing increasingly frustrated with Knockdown Shields not working as intended following the Season 6 patch \u2013 with some claiming that they\u2019re completely useless. With the launch of Apex Legends Season 6, fans of Respawn\u2019s incredibly popular battle royale were finally given the chance to play as Rampart, while also getting their hands on Titanfall\u2019s Volt SMG. However, despite all the changes, it hasn\u2019t been all sunshine and rainbows following the update. Players have been reporting growing issues with connecting to games, being able to teleport under the map, and even seeing a revive bug rear its head. On top of those, however, it looks as if the recent patch has also caused a few issues with the knockdown shields \u2013 which isn\u2019t great news if you\u2019re trying to defend yourself on the ground. While the Knockdown Shield is supposed to deflect enemy attacks, be that bullets or punches, while you\u2019re waiting for a helping hand, it seems as that isn\u2019t actually the case. Reddit user reallybigsillywilly labeled the shields as a \u201cscam\u201d because, during one of their recent games, they were punched to elimination despite holding up a blue knockdown shield. The blue shield, which is supposed to repel 450 points of damage, could barely withstand two punches before the Revenant player was eliminated from the game. Though, they aren\u2019t just the only one. Fellow Redditor bladefinor pointed out that they\u2019d experienced similar only a few days earlier. Others claimed that the shields, outside of the gold ones which allow you to revive yourself once, aren\u2019t even worth picking up because they aren\u2019t working as they\u2019re supposed to. Even though Respawn regularly chimes in when the subreddit points out problems, they haven\u2019t done so as of writing, so it remains to be seen as to whether or not they address the problems with the shields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
