We have gotten a lot of changes this season of Apex Legends. A lot of good, like the revamped Storm Point, new legend, and a really fun care package weapon in the wingman.
We've also gotten a lot of other changes that people may have stronger opinions on, such as R301 in the crafter, respawning with a weapon and full armor, and no longer being able to put heat shields on tridents (such a fun, if niche thing to do).
So all in all, how are we feeling so far this season? Good, bad, iffy?
Welp I see this being abused real quick and everybody having purps or red armor by the middle of the season.
During HisWattson's 14 hour stream on the first day of competitive, he and his team were duplicating armors a lot at the start. By beating a team, killing the dogs and spiders nearby, and then crafting the evo once or twice, they could guarantee a red evo that would then get duped.
You dive off the map, teammate grabs that evo and then dives off map, then both of you get respawned with red evos and even duplicate items (sans attachments, of course).
They actually got dove by a pred team from last season doing this, but since everyone on the team had red evos, HisWattson's squad beat them. It was actually pretty funny, if a little bonkers.
And since this season incentivizes placing over kills by a significant margin, this isn't a braindead strategy, though it requires your teammates cooperating and your squad's speediness in getting that higher level EVO.
