    Apex Legends Small Update Offers Map Tweaks

    Game studio Respawn Entertainment has released a small update for popular battle royale video game Apex Legends.

    This new update is rather small, but it does make some important changes in the game. For instance, it finally adds the Heat Shields again to the regular loot pool in regular and ranked playlists. It also offers minor map tweaks so that players will not get easily stuck in King’s Canyon.

    Just pushed out a small @playapex update:

    🔥 Heat Shields are returning to the regular loot pool in regular and ranked playlists.
    🚫 Fast-heal has been removed from Heat Shields
    🔧 Minor map tweaks to prevent players from getting stuck in King's Canyon

    🛡️ Shields up, Legends 🛡️

    This new change does have one removal. The fast-heal feature of the Heat Shields have been removed now. Some are complaining of this move though since this was one of the neat features of the item. Others are thinking of just removing Heat Shields altogether.

    Apex Legends is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
