Apex Legends Season 20: Breakout brings several big changes to Respawn's popular battle royale, including a completely redesigned ranked mode, a new, streamlined crafting system, Fire Trail updates, and more. But the most notable change is undoubtedly the removal of EVO shields from the loot pool and the introduction of the Legend upgrade system in addition to the shield core.
The new shield mechanic and the legendary upgrade system go hand in hand, but given the 100 new legendary abilities in the game and the lack of an EVO shield in the loot, players are left with questions. Is skin trading still a viable strategy? What new abilities are now available for each Legend? How does Shield Core fit into the equation? But whether you're an Apex Legends veteran or a new player, we're here for you. So read on for a detailed (but highly customizable) breakdown of the game's new meta.
