How does armor segments work in Apex Legends?
Solution 1:
One segment of bodyshield is 25 hp. Everyone (as of season Legacy) drops with white bodyshields. This adds 50 HP. Each rarity of bodyshield adds one more segment of 25. The full breakdown is:
Base health: 100
white: +50
Blue: +75
Purple/Gold: +100
Red: +125
A bodyshield segment is the same 25 HP no matter what color the bodyshield is. A Gold bodyshield's segment only looks larger because it doesn't evo, so it is just stretched to cover the full UI of the health area.
