Respawn Entertainment has been teasing the concept of a brand-new EVO sphere for some time now. This new EVO system allows players to update their armor in a different way as well as their Legend skills. According to the new EVO system, armor will not be a lootable item on the floor anymore.
When players complete certain activities like wiping enemy squads, knocking players down, initiating revives, and performing class-centric activities, their EVO XP will level up. This in turn will level up their Armor. Besides, this will also give players an opportunity to choose a perk for their choice, enabling them to take their gameplay to a different level.
Another massive change will be seen in the reworked replicators. These will get exhausted after a singular use. Notably, this quality-of-life change has been due for a long time now. However, it has finally made its way to the game and will help improve the general competitive integrity of the title.
