Are Replicators being changed in Apex Legends Season 20?

Replicators have had a makeover in Apex Legends Season 20. They will now allow players to craft only one item per use, after which they will be rendered "exhausted."

This new change has been implemented to combat the exploit numerous players would resort to for unfair Ladder Points in Ranked. Players would consistently sit out in the zone and craft Medkits to ensure they survive outside the border.

Respawn Entertainment took due notice of this exploit and has ensured that such unfair practices are no longer a viable option for players. Furthermore, this new change incentivizes players to make smarter decisions when it comes to combat and general looting.

EVO Armors are a bit different in Apex Legends Season 20. Body armor, as per Respawn Entertainment, will no longer be a regular item on the loot pool. A new tier of armor will be unlocked by players upon consistently leveling up each game.

A brand-new item known as the Shield Core will be replacing the traditional armor swaps in the game. Armors will be powered by the Shield Core, which can be swapped for an alternate core when required. Enemies you kill will drop their respective Shield Cores in their death box, which you can use to replace your very own.

In case you get a higher-tier Shield Core than the maximum capacity of your current armor, the extra energy will be supplied to you as Overhealth, which will decay over some time.
