Major changes for self-res: Respawn addresses Apex community concerns over gold knockdown shield

Respawn Entertainment is introducing major changes to Apex Legends‘ gold backpack and gold knockdown shield items with season 14, including the complete removal of the latter’s self-resurrection ability.

The gold knockdown shield will remain in the game, the Apex design team says, but it will no longer give users the power to self-resurrect. Instead, it will have the Guardian Angel ability, which was previously on the gold backpack. Guardian Angel allows those who are holding it to revive downed squadmates with 50 additional health and shields, giving them an extra leg-up if they want to get back into the battle quickly. The developers said this means gold knockdown shields will pair well with legends like Lifeline and Newcastle.
