How to get an heirloom in Apex Legends
Heirlooms are Mythic melee weapon skins. Most come as a set with a banner pose or frame, a quip and the melee skin. A kill with an heirloom shows its name in the kill feed.
There are 3 ways to get an heirloom.
| Way | What it takes | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Heirloom Shards | Apex Packs, 0.045% each, guaranteed by pack 500 | 150 shards for any set in the Mythic Store |
| Collection Event | All 24 event items unlocked | That event's new heirloom set |
| Event packs | Event packs in a collab event | A universal Mythic melee as a rare drop |
A new heirloom set usually arrives once a season in a Collection Event. After the event ends, the set moves to the Mythic Store for 150 Heirloom Shards.
How to get Heirloom Shards
Every Apex Pack has a 0.045% chance to drop 150 Heirloom Shards. A pack that drops shards is not used up.
Open 499 packs with no shards and pack 500 drops them.
Shards stop dropping once you own every heirloom set in the Mythic Store.
Heirloom tracker: counting to 500 packs
An heirloom tracker counts the Apex Packs you opened since your last shards. The count restarts each time shards drop. The guarantee lands on pack 500 of that count.
The Apex Coins guide has the full coin pack ladder.
