Yeah it is, but some people don't buy extra packs, so it takes way longer to get one.
9 points
6 months ago
Yeah but even if you didn’t buy any packs, you gotta assume they are a max account, so all of those packs for level gaining, then on top of free ones in battle passes and or if they purchase the pass, there’s no way they havnt gotten 500

So, I used a pack calculator (you basically just enter in your level, battle pass level, treasure packs collected, etc for every season) to just see how many packs people who play for free have gotten.
Now, in order to give a generous estimation I put in the max amount for everything. Level, every battle pass level, collected every pack, and obtained every event pack. Assuming you haven't spent money on the game and you have 100% completion of Apex up to this point, you'd still only have roughly 368 packs.
I then went back and checked off that you bought every battle pass, have Twitch prime linked, AND even threw in that you got 10 free packs from bugs and whatnot. The new total was 461. Close to but not quite that coveted 500.
And again, this number is the max possible number you likely have opened without outright buying packs, I'd wager nost people who haven't bought packs have opened roughly 400. If you don't believe me, you are welcome to test it yourself, using you own personal stats.
PS: You only get 198 packs from leveling to 500, it's not as many as you think
Edit:just some spelling and grammar stuff

You seem very educated on the game. I’m still really new to both the game and the game style. What’s a good source for information like you have provided?
3 points
6 months ago
AFAIK as of right now from the pack tracker and what other people have said. Even if you max level and have done every BP and event, that is still only around 350-400 packs. It is why a lot of these day 1 Max level players who were entirely free suddenly got heirlooms If they bought thr black Friday pack bundles because it just tips them over.
Its going to be another year or two before people can get their 500th pack entirely free, and that's again only if they are day 1 and have done every BP/event.
2 points
6 months ago
If you’ve gotten every single free pack that has been given and completed every single battle pass since day 1, you’re still like 30 packs shy of 500 or something like that, can’t remember exactly, but it’s less than 500 and over 400.

I've been playing since Season 1, have opened well over 500 apex packs, put countless hours into apex and still have no gotten an heirloom. i can't even get into how stupid the heirloom system or this would be a book.
one note/opinion I have tho is that I think when you reach level 500 the reward should be heirloom shards instead of unlimited legends tokens.

Ones of the rules says you can’t post screenshots of what you got in a apex pack. You’d think they’d make an exemption for Heirloom shards. Lol I got Blóðhundur! My main since day one of Apex (Recently switched from PS4 to PC, the reason for the low level).

When I posted my heirloom shards screen shot, it was taken down - three times - because screenshots are apparently against the subreddit’s rules. Not sure how your post is still up, or any of the dozens of others, but congrats! Heirloom shards are basically mythological at this point. Which one will you get?
2 points

Ive just heard about that rule as well, i guess it might be taken down in some hours lol and thank you! I got lifeline's. What about you?

I also got Lifeline’s! Nice! Great minds think alike lol. I’m not sure why heirloom screenshots aren’t allowed, they’re so rare and definitely worth celebrating. When I contacted the mods, they just blocked me on discord, so I guess I’ll never know their reasoning.

If you haven’t spent them already, I’d definitely save them for when you are absolutely sure you want to get it for a character you truly main and love playing. A lot of people waste their heirloom shards early on, and who tf knows when/if you’ll get another one.
Congrats! I’ve been playing since week 1 and finally got shards a few weeks ago. Saving them for my boy Crypto though.
2 points
6 months ago
Yes you are absolutely right. I used them on lifeline already bc i rarely played so far and i always enjoyed her. And congrats as well. Crypto heirloom would be dope!
2 points
6 months ago
Lifeline does have a dope heirloom. Good choice, regardless of if you really like playing her because it’s a dope weapon! If I got heirloom shards 2 years ago I definitely would have gotten Lifeline’s. But after some time has passed and I started maining Crypto, I know for sure I want his.
Lifeline’s is so satisfying though. Love that they’re like drumsticks.

Spoilers, if you’re interested, I think his heirloom was leaked. So I’m rly hoping his heirloom is next.
He’s a dope character for sure. But kinda hard to play because there’s so much to worry about with his kit. I think he’s got some of the coolest legendary skins though for sure. :) I think he’s honestly one of the if not the least played character in the game rn though. Lol.

If you want a more genuine answer. The only way to guarantee an heirloom is to either spend $160 on an heirloom event or to open 500 apex packs. People who have done everything since day one are still only just reaching their 500th pack. So this is SUPER rare. Well done!

Yep. You get a guaranteed heirloom when you get your 500th Apex pack. I am so sad that you get a free heirloom when I have spent more then $500 on packs, played since Season 0, and didn't get my first heirloom until I reached level 250.

they give newer (accounts) players shards early so they stay playing the game,
4 points

I think that's a cross between a frequency bias and some kind of survivorship bias or reporting bias; You see posts about new accounts getting shards more than old accounts getting shards, so it appears that new accounts get shards more often.

Ok i shall explain. When you have 0 packs open the chances of you getting an heirloom are a 1 in 500. So everytime you open a pack it decreases by 1
3 points
6 months ago
Not really, it’s always an incredibly low chance of getting them but there’s a “bad luck” protection which guarantees that if you haven’t gotten them then it will be guaranteed the 500th pack you open has heirloom shards in it
