Respawn ships huge Apex Legends armor overhaul in Season 6 update Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends is introducing \u201cbig changes\u201d to the way the battle royale\u2019s armor works in the upcoming Season 6 patch, Respawn has revealed, confirming rumors the devs had a huge overhaul planned for the mid-August update. Nearly all Apex Legends armor will now be \u201cEvo\u201d armor from Season 6 onwards, excluding Gold Amor. Common (white), rare (blue), and epic (purple) chest armor will start each game as pre-leveled Evo Armor from August 18 onwards. Respawn has also confirmed all armor pieces will be able to level up to the top-powered Red armor, which boasts five armor chunks. Gold Armor will not evolve throughout battle royale matches, however, and will remain extremely rare. Finally, the armor overhaul will also see all Apex Legends players drop into every match with \u201cLevel 0\u201d armor. This starting armor goes \u201call the way to Red.\u201d Respawn believes this shock Apex Legends armor rework in Season 6 will \u201creally help with loot availability in the early game,\u201d and allow players to avoid hot dropping right into the fight for rare loot \u201cif they don\u2019t want to.\u201d \u201cWith all the changes in Season 6, players now have the opportunity to level up their shields through damage, luck in ground loot, or through crafting!\u201d the Apex Legends devs added. The new Evo Armor era \u2014 which Dexerto originally tipped was on its way in early August \u2014 will also usher in some big changes number-wise for each different set of Apex Legends armor. All armor across the board will see a 25 health-point drop in the August update. Purple and Gold Armor now have 175 health, down from 200. Red, the highest Evo level available, will now be set to 200 health points. It was previously a lofty 225. These changes will also see each Evo level\u2019s requirements changed slightly. The new damage requirements are as follows: White upgrade damage: 50 – Blue upgrade damage: 125 – Purple upgrade damage: 250 – Red upgrade damage: 500 – \u201cThis is such a big change for the whole game\u2026\u201d Jason McCord said in Apex\u2019s August 17 dev stream. \u201cWhat\u2019s really exciting is we\u2019ve now given you three different ways to get to good armor in every game.\u201d \u201cWe want to make sure everyone doesn\u2019t just easily get to Red at the end of the game though. There have been a few tweaks there. We\u2019ll be keeping an eye on that. We want to make sure we\u2019ve got it right, but we\u2019re confident it\u2019s right for now.\u201d McCord also took to Twitter soon after Season 6\u2019s major armor overhaul was unveiled in the notes. He wrote, \u201cNow y\u2019all see why the last 45 LTMs have been \u201cEvolved,\u201d with a laugh emoji. \u201cWe gotta test and gather data to make decisions.\u201d Now ya’ll see why the last 45 LTMs have been “”Evolved””. \ud83e\udd23 We gotta test and gather data to make decisions that change the game’s core loop!\u2014 Jason McCord (@Monsterclip_JM) August 18, 2020 The \u201cbig\u201d armor overhaul isn\u2019t the only thing Respawn is changing up this season either. The other huge swap is the World\u2019s Edge \u201crevamp,\u201d which has seen Mirage Voyage and the map\u2019s iconic train stripped away in Season 6. Apex also got its 14th character this month, turret-loving engineer Rampart. The Volt SMG also finally made the swap from Titanfall 2 to Respawn\u2019s mega-popular battle royale. Finally, new crafting mechanics were added, and a new battle pass was unveiled.
