Apex Legends Season 14 Patch Notes Put Self-Revive Shield In A Deathbox

gamespot.com:

Respawn Entertainment just released the patch notes for Apex Legends' upcoming season, Hunted. The new season brings with it a multitude of buffs, nerfs, and equipment changes (not to mention a new character). When combined, these new features are guaranteed to upend the game's current meta. But while some players may be thrilled with the game's new developments, others may be displeased with the changes to longstanding game mechanics, especially the changes made to the Legendary-tier knockdown shield and backpack perks.

The patch notes do confirm a series of rumored additions to the game, including a level cap increase, a new battle pass, and a facelift for Kings Canyon (including the return of Skull Town, a POI that was very popular until Loba destroyed it in Season 5). But the Season 14: Hunted update will include even more drastic gameplay changes--some of which may leave players in shock. Here's a closer look at the patch notes for Apex Legends Season 14: Hunted.
