Apex Legends devs defend Storm Point armory removal, tease mid-season changes

Respawn today answered several burning questions the Apex Legends fandom has had about Storm Point, including the IMC Armories and the removal of their PvE features in season 19.

MichaelAOS, a senior level designer at Respawn, responded to the hot topic in a Reddit-hosted AMA on Nov. 22, specifically replying to questions about why the IMC Armory smart loot and Spectre fights were deleted. The decision, he explained, was made because the POI’s popularity and loot potential had actually been encouraging players to stay in one spot and engage in the PvE mechanics rather than play the map. This, he continued, directly contributed to less team-on-team situations because it took one team out of the battle royale for minutes at a time.
