Apex Legends Season 20: Breakout launches next week, and today, Respawn gave players a taste of what the future holds via a new gameplay trailer that shows off Apex's surprising new shield system.

Although it will bring 100 new Legend-exclusive perks to the game, Apex's new Legend Upgrades system will also see EVO Shields entirely removed from the loot pool. As of Season 20, EVO Shields will be replaced with Shield Cores, which only spawn in deathboxes, and may only provide players with temporary protection.

Previously, EVO Shields spawned on the floor and in Supply Bins, and getting your hands on high-tier body protection was somewhat random. With the launch of Breakout, body shields will be tied to each player's "Legend Level," which increases as they do damage and perform certain class-exclusive actions, like scanning Survey Beacons and ring Consoles.
