Heirlooms are easily the most sought-after cosmetic items in Apex Legends. Not only do they look impressive, but they also communicate to others that you are incredibly dedicated to the game. If you want a signature item for your main character, you’ll want to check out all of the Heirlooms in Apex.

Most Heirlooms can be unlocked by purchasing all of the event skins the Heirloom is tied to upon its release in Apex. You can also unlock Heirlooms after an event ends by using Heirloom Shards, a special material that has a less than 1 percent chance of dropping in an Apex pack.

Players are guaranteed one set of Heirloom Shards for every 500 Apex Packs, but the time it takes to reach that level (or the money it takes to buy that many packs) is astronomical.

That's a lot of packs to open, but luckily for gamers, you can track the number of Apex packs you've opened. All of these factors contribute to the rarity and desirability of Heirlooms.
