Knockdown Shield

About the Knockdown Shield

Knockdown Shields are unique to Apex Legends, and tie into the game’s focus on teamwork and squad plays. Once brought to zero hit points, if you have teammates left alive you won’t be dead outright, merely “knocked”, which means you can crawl along the ground, communicate, and open and close doors, but otherwise cannot act. During this time, if you have a Knockdown Shield equipped you can activate it at any time by holding down right-mouse click, and a curved shield with a certain number of hit points will appear in front of you, protecting you from being eliminated by enemy fire.
