All of Newcastle’s abilities in Apex Legends

Newcastle is a defensive Legend, and number 21 on the roster. He is the older brother of one of the original Legends, Bangalore.

Newcastle has three unique abilities, and all of them revolve around a type of shield. Each shield works a little differently, though. Let's take a look.
