Heirloom

Apex Legends content This article concerns the subject and the content related to it in Apex Legends. For the subject in Apex Legends Mobile, see Signature Weapons.

Heirlooms are Mythic-tier cosmetic items that change the skin of your melee weapon in Apex Legends. They typically come in sets that include a banner pose, an Intro Quip, and a melee weapon skin, though some feature a Kill Quip, Banner Frame or Emote.

Typically, one new Heirloom Set is released per Season in a Collection Event, though there are exceptions. During the Collection Event, the Heirloom Set can be obtained by collecting all 24 items of the event’s collection set. Once the Collection Event is over, the Heirloom Set is moved into the Mythic Store where it can be purchased using 150 Heirloom Shards.

Information[]

Each Apex Pack has a less than 1%[1] chance of dropping 150 Heirloom Shards, which can then be used in the Mythic Store to buy an Heirloom Set of choice. A pack that contains Heirloom Shards is not consumed after being opened.

If a player opens 499 packs without getting any shards, 150 is guaranteed on the 500th pack. However, more shards cannot be acquired if all Heirloom Sets are already owned.

When a player knocks someone or gets a kill with an heirloom, the usual “[Melee]” in the kill feed is replaced with “[<Heirloom name> Melee]” (except for Too Much Witt where “[Mirage Statue Melee]” appears instead).

Origins[]

• Wraith’s Hope’s Dusk was given to her by the Voidwalker to assist in her escape of the ARES Division facility she was kept in.[3]
• The Raven’s Bite was previously owned by Artur, Bloodhound’s uncle. He gave it to them to complete a rite of initiation in his tribe, and they retained ownership of the axe after his death.[4]
• Gibraltar’s War Club is a Māori weapon known as a patu. It was created or commissioned by his ex-boyfriend, Nik, as a gift.[5]
• Cold Steel is a data knife previously owned by IMC Lieutenant Scryer. After Scryer’s death during an attack on a settlement on the island of Storm Point, it was taken by Bangalore as a trophy.[6]
• The Garra de Alanza is based on a fan previously owned by Alanza Andrade. The fan was reclaimed from an auction house on Psamathe by Loba and Jaime in 2726. Loba later created the Garra de Alanza as a weaponized replica.
• The origins of Lifeline’s Shock Sticks are unknown. They are likely based on her time spent as a drummer in the punk band The Flyer Liars.
• The origins of Pathfinder’s Boxing Gloves are unknown. They are likely based on his encounter with former police lieutenant and boxer Victor Maldera.[7]
• The origins of Octane’s Butterfly Knife are unknown. He was seen playing with, and injuring himself with, the knife during the events of Family Portrait.[8]
• The origins of Caustic’s Death Hammer and Revenant’s Dead Man’s Curve are unknown. Both were seen wielding their respective weapons during the events of The Legacy Antigen.[9][10]
• The origins of Wattson’s Energy Reader are unknown. She was seen using the device during the events of Trouble in Paradise.[11]
• The origins of Mirage’s Too Much Witt, Rampart’s Problem Solver, Crypto’s Biwon Blade, and Valkyrie’s Suzaku are unknown.

Trivia[]

• Hope’s Dusk has “QUIETO” written on it. The meaning is an Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish word that means “still” or “Quiet”.
• Mirage wears his goggles if he equips Too Much Witt.
  • He also occasionally hits his opponents with a pork chop or does an eye poke while attacking.
  • The trophy’s description is a reference to the live-action performance that happened during The Game Awards of 2019.[12]
• In one of Death Hammer’s weapon inspections, a spider, Scarabaeidae Arachnia, appears. The toxic substance used in Caustic’s Nox Gas Trap andNox Gas Grenade is harvested from this spider.[13] The spider also appears during theFight or Fright events.
• Initially, “Heirloom” was also the name of the red item rarity, the highest one in the game. Even non-Heirloom red items, such as Supply Drop Weapons, were described as “Heirloom Tier.”[14] The rarity was renamed to “Mythic” following the addition of Prestige Skins.
• The War Club inspect animations include an inspection where Gibraltar looks at his gun shield, which is the first time a Legend has inspected an item other than their Heirloom when having the Heirloom equipped.
• Pathfinder’s Heirloom set is the only one that contains a Kill Quip instead of an Intro Quip.
• The Problem Solver has an attack animation that lets Rampart hit enemies with Octane’s prosthetic leg. This is the only animation that borrows a part of another Legend.
• Wattson will smile if she equips the Energy Reader.
• When the Suzaku is equipped, Valkyrie will rarely melee attack with the helmet of her father, Viper. We hope his head was removed beforehand.
  • The helmet will also appear in one of the inspect animations, where, referring to the inanimate object as “dad,” Valkyrie apologizes that she is out to make her own legacy.
• Rarely, Loba will strike with a Revenant head while using the Garra de Alanza.
• Wraith’s first Heirloom was known as the Kunai until Season 16.
• Wraith is the only Legend two have multiple Heirloom Sets.
