The Evolution Collection Event reveal and patch notes have definitely caught the eye of Apex Legends players. Not only because of a leaked weapon shown in the trailer but also because of some great quality of life changes.

The devs had already confirmed that the Gold and Red Evo Shield swap change would be in this update, but there are some other changes that will also improve player experience, whether you’re an experienced or inexperienced player.

Quality of life changes in the Evolution Collection Event

Evo Shield

As well as players now being able to swap Red shield for Gold much more efficiently, starting from September 14 players will be able to see just how much health shields have when viewing loot in death boxes.

This is a great change, as it will allow players to know instantly whether the shield is depleted or not. This will help situations where players are unsure whether someone has already swapped a shield from a death box, allowing them to act quickly and make a different play.

Abandonment warning

Another great quality of life change arriving in the Evolution Collection Event update is that players will now be warned much more clearly about abandonment penalties before leaving a match. This will prevent those situations where players accidentally leave, not realizing they are actually about to receive a penalty for doing so.

In order to leave a match, players will now need to hold down the confirm button for a short period of time while red warning text provides information on the penalty you will receive.

Scan indication

Lastly, but definitely not least, players will now have an indication as to which Recon character has revealed their position.

Currently, in Apex Legends, there is no indication as to who has scanned you apart from some visual and audio cues that only experienced players will understand. This is great for new players, especially as there are now five Recon characters in the game.
