Apex Legends' Storm Point IMC Armory feature is third party proof

If you've played Apex Legends before, or any battle royale game for that matter, you'll know how painful it is to be 'third-partied' during a gunfight. There's nothing worse than being on the cusp of victory to find yourself being shot in the back by an unseen assailant. Apex Legends does give you ways to combat this - Gibby's dome shield is a particularly useful tool to have - but it's largely a fact of life that, at some point, you're going to be third-partied. Well, until now. Speaking to press, Samantha Kalman, senior game designer at Respawn Entertainment, has revealed that Storm Point's IMC Armory locations are actually going to be third-party proof.

We know that this is hard to believe, but it's true. When you head into one of Storm Point's four IMC Armory locations to loot, "you're protected from being third-partied", according to Kalman. However, this comes at a cost - as you might expect.

Players looking to loot these locations are going to have to lock themselves in and weather an intense minute-long storm of close-quarters combat with waves of deadly Spectres - automated infantry robots you may recognise from Titanfall.
