Understanding what Heirlooms in Apex Legends are

An Heirloom in Apex Legends is not just a mere cosmetic; it's a symbol of status and skill. These special items bestow upon individual legends a unique melee animation, setting them apart on the battlefield. It's important to note that Heirlooms do not grant any mechanical advantage in combat; rather, they serve as a visual representation of a legend's prowess. Alongside the mesmerizing melee animations, Heirlooms also come with exclusive banner poses and intro quips, allowing legends to showcase their style both in and out of combat.

How to Unlocks Heirloom Sets in Apex Legends

There are two primary methods to acquire Heirloom sets in Apex Legends, each with its own challenges and opportunities. The first method involves participating in collection events, where brand-new Heirloom sets are introduced into the game. During these limited-time events, players have the chance to obtain special cosmetic items either through direct purchase or by opening event loot boxes. Acquiring all 24 items in the collection guarantees the unlocking of the new Heirloom set, albeit at a considerable cost.

How Much Does Apex Legends Heirlooms Cost

While collection events offer a direct route to obtaining Heirloom sets, they often come at a steep price. With event loot boxes priced at 700 coins per pack, players may find themselves investing significant sums to complete the collection. However, Respawn has introduced bundle options and occasional discounts to alleviate the financial burden, albeit marginally. Despite these measures, acquiring Heirloom sets during collection events remains a costly endeavor, reserved for the most dedicated of legends. The items in the collection event can be bought or crafted, but the cheapest way to buy them all (assuming you don’t have or want any crafting Metals) is to buy 24 event loot boxes, which cost 700 coins per pack (roughly $7 USD), though you can get bonus coins for bigger packs and a 10% discount if you’re a EA Play member. All in all, it’ll cost you 16.800 Apex Coins (roughly $168), but that number can change - for example, Respawn has recently started offering bundles in collection events, which let you buy a ton of event exclusive Apex Packs for less money than buying each pack separately, and some events, like the Anniversary Collection event, don’t charge as much for individual packs. These aren’t huge savings, though (for example, the Anniversary Collection event cost closer to $140 to buy all 24 packs, so it’s going to be expensive regardless). But it’s the fastest way to buy an Heirloom Item when it’s first released.

How Heirloom Shards in Apex Legends Work

For those seeking an alternative path to Heirloom acquisition, Heirloom shards offer a glimmer of hope. These elusive shards can be obtained by opening Apex Packs, with 150 shards required to unlock a Heirloom set. However, the odds of receiving Heirloom shards from a standard Apex Pack are less than 1%, making this method a test of patience and luck. Players can also earn guaranteed Heirloom shards every 500 packs, providing a semblance of certainty amidst the uncertainty of chance.
