Apex Legends Bug Displays False Gibraltar Gun Shield

Apex Legends players have discovered a bug displaying Gibraltar's gun shield even when the shield's health is completely depleted.

Reddit user u/roccscout shared footage of the bug in action to the Apex Legends subreddit Wednesday. In their video, their shield breaks when being shot by an enemy. They then swap weapons and aim down sights only for the shield to regenerate, despite the health indicators on either side flashing empty.

The enemies shoot straight through the shield and knock roccscout down.

"I'm a Gibby main with over 200 wins and 2,500+ kills," rocccsout wrote in their video. "In Season 3, the Gunshield is always there, no matter if it's actually broken or fully charged. I have died so many times because I engaged the enemy, believing that my Gunshield would help absorb damage [when it's really just glitched."

Redditors in the comments report a similar bug affecting knockdown shields.

Neither the Gibraltar gun shield bug nor a knockdown shield bug appear in the Apex Legends Trello board, a list of all known problems and quality of life improvements Respawn Entertainment plans to address in the near future. Respawn Entertainment has yet to respond to the Reddit thread, which currently sits at 14,500 net upvotes.

Apex Legends Season 3 began Oct. 1.
