Developer Respawn Entertainment has implemented a new update for Apex Legends on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One that adjusts in-game armor. The full patch notes are outlined below.

　　At the start of Season 6: Boosted, Respawn tweaked how armor works in Apex Legends by making them all Evo Armor and reducing their values by 25 points. Now, the studio is reverting all armor values back to pre-Season 6, meaning the 25-point reduction has been reversed. However, the studio clarified that all armor will remain Evo. This change is now in effect on all platforms.

　　Now Playing: Apex Legends Season 6 – Boosted Gameplay Trailer

　　Design director Jason McCord detailed why Respawn made the change and the rationale for reverting it back, saying the entire point of the Season 6 change was to ensure that players getting the drop on someone gave them an advantage in battle. To that end, the Evo Armor and value adjustment was put in place to "promote strategy in battlefield positioning and map control" when confronting a team.

　　"However, with the introduction of the Evo Armor change, we saw (in our internal playtests) that players were achieving Red Armor (125 shields) more often, and more players were fighting at 225 total health. This started to swing the battles more than we liked, and good players were able to outplay teams more consistently, even if the enemy had worked for a much better position. By lowering the armor values, we felt we had adjusted for the Red Armor availability more than anything else."

　　Alongside the armor changes, Respawn ironed out a few other issues with Apex Legends. This includes general fixes like server crashes, audio problems (like bullet sounds not playing when firing the Devotion and Volt), issues with various characters, and more.
