During the Apex Legends System Override event, we were introduced to an interesting new feature: the Evo Shield. This shield — which evolves according to the damage you inflict on enemies during your game — is now definitively available in-game.
Is Evo Shield better than the Legendary Shield?
The Evo Shield is interesting at the beginning of the game, because if you don't find a Rare or Epic shield, it can change everything. However, Legendary shields bring bonuses that need to be taken into account — healing items take half as long to consume. The Evo shield doesn't allow you to do that. It's advisable to change it for a Gold shield if you find one.
