Direct answer: “Amped” in Apex Legends means boosted or powered-up — it’s used in several ways in the game. Most prominently it’s part of Rampart’s Tactical, Amped Cover: the transparent shield on her wall “amps” outgoing shots (in other words, bullets fired through it deal increased damage and the wall has its own mechanics and health). The term also describes in-game purple-tier loot called Amps that give temporary perks (like infinite ammo, extra shields, or faster ability cooldowns). The word is additionally the title of Season 27, “Amped,” which bundles a range of mobility and loot changes. Official Apex patch notes – Amped season (ea.com)
Supporting details and examples: Rampart’s Amped Cover blocks incoming fire on one side while boosting damage for shots that go out through the amped shield; recent notes and community guides document things like wall health, deployment timing, and the damage boost behavior. The separate “Amps” loot category (added in prior updates) are purple floor/bin items that grant specific buffs such as Infinite Ammo, Over Armor, Heal Overflow, or ability cooldown reduction — choices that can strongly change early-game play.
