Heat Shield Points

In Apex Legends, Heat Shield Points are a crucial aspect of gameplay that players need to understand to enhance their survival during matches. This mechanic is particularly important when dealing with the ever-encroaching ring, which can cause substantial damage to players caught outside its safe zone.

Understanding Heat Shields

Heat Shields are deployable items that create a protective dome, allowing players to withstand the damaging effects of the ring temporarily. These are especially useful in the late game or when players need to loot care packages or revive teammates in the dangerous zone.

  • Each Heat Shield can be deployed to create a protective sphere.
  • They reduce ring damage for players and teammates within the dome.
  • The dome also speeds up healing items and revives within its boundary.

Strategies for Using Heat Shields

Strategic use of Heat Shields can make the difference between life and death in Apex Legends. Here are some effective strategies:

  1. Late Game Advantage: Use Heat Shields to gain a positional advantage over enemies who are forced to move due to the ring.
  2. Safe Revives and Healing: Deploy a Heat Shield to safely revive a teammate or heal without taking additional damage from the ring.
  3. Looting in the Ring: Use them to loot valuable items from care packages or fallen enemies that are outside the safe zone.

Heat Shield Management

Managing your Heat Shields wisely is key to maximizing their effectiveness:

  • Always keep track of the number of Heat Shields you have available in your inventory.
  • Coordinate with your team to ensure that at least one player carries a Heat Shield, especially in the late game.
  • Be mindful of the shrinking ring and plan your movements accordingly to minimize the need for Heat Shields.
