Apex Legends Season 14 finally removes Self Revive from battle royale

We know Vantage is the star of the show when it comes to Apex Legends' Hunted update, but there are a lot of important changes coming to Respawn Entertainment's free-to-play battle royale with the Season 14 update. One of the most important ones, which could slip under the radar when you look at the latest Apex Legends patch notes, is this: Apex Legends' development team is finally removing Self Revive from the game.

Yes, that's right - Self Revive is outta here and we couldn't be happier. In a pre-release press event, senior game designer Eric Canavese revealed that there would be two important changes made to gold-rarity equipment perks in the coming title update. Firstly, a Gold Backpack is no-longer going to offer players the Guardian Angel perk. Instead, it will feature a brand new gameplay perk: Deep Pockets.

With this rare piece of equipment equipped, using Deep Pockets, players will be able to carry more large healing items in-game. This means that, moving forward, you will be able to three-stack both the Med Kit and Shield Battery in your inventory. In addition to this, you will be able to stack two Phoenix Kit items. This, of course, is going to help players individually - but, it could also introduce a new level of coordination between squad mates and encourage resource sharing in-game.
