Evolving armor was first leaked in Apex Legends back in September of 2019 after data-miners discovered it in the Voidwalker event\u2019s game files. When equipped, this armor would start off at the base Level 1 and improve as the player got more kills, with the potential to ramp up all the way to Level 4, giving the player an additional 125 health points. Shroud, who hasn\u2019t played much Apex Legends since September, heard about this leak for the first time while streaming the new Third-Person limited-time mode in the Grand Soir\u00e9e Arcade Event. \u201cThat is an interesting mechanic,\u201d he said, becoming more and more invested in the idea. \u201cI never thought of that, that is really interesting.\u201d \u201cSo, essentially, everybody starts off at a level playing field and whoever is farming harder, as in frag-wise or damage-wise, they get better buffs. That\u2019s crazy, that is really cool, actually.\u201d The more he thought about the mechanic, the faster his brain worked at analyzing all of the potential positives that such a thing would bring to the battle royale. While some may argue against this idea because it would reward more aggressive players, shroud doesn\u2019t think that\u2019ll be the case. \u201cBecause you think \u2018Okay, if you just hold W, you\u2019re going to win,\u2019 but that\u2019s not true,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m going to have to see how that\u2019s utilized, but that is a really good idea. I really like that, if they can do it right. I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll do some testing.\u201d (Segment begins at 0:48 mark for mobile users) Seeing as how much shroud loved the idea of this Evolving body shield, if it were added to the game, he might be more keen on returning to the battle royale he was pretty much the face for in the first half of 2019. However, over the past few months, he hasn\u2019t really been playing Apex Legends. This is partly due to his love for Escape from Tarkov, but also because the game has gotten stale for him, limiting his interest to hopping on here and there to try out a new mode or something of that sort. He recently admitted that Respawn would have to make several major changes to the game for him to return, such as changes to the weapon and Legends meta and for the title to become \u201cmore adaptive\u201d \u2013 something for which Evolving armor could be a big part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud explains why leaked Evolving armor in Apex Legends is \u201creally cool\u201d Shroud &#8211; Mixer \/ Respawn EntertainmentHearing about Apex Legends\u2019 leaked \u2018Evolving\u2019 body shield for the first time, star streamer Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek fell in love with the concept.
