Apex Legends - Heirlooms Guide

Heirlooms in Apex Legends are special melee cosmetic items that can be equipped to unlock unique melee attacks and inspection animations. These cosmetics are extremely rare--and expensive, too--though they can be easier to acquire for a limited time when they're first added to the game.

Currently, brand-new heirloom sets are added to Apex Legends during collection events. These collection events typically run for about two weeks and have 24 special cosmetic items available for direct purchase or obtainable through special event loot boxes. Purchasing all 24 items in the collection will automatically unlock the new heirloom.

While the items in a collection event can typically be directly purchased or crafted, the cheapest way to get all of them (assuming you don't have or want to spend any Crafting Metals) will be to purchase 24 event loot boxes. These boxes are typically priced at 700 coins per pack, which equates to roughly $7 USD--although you get bonus coins for larger packs and can get a 10% discount for being a member of EA Play--so purchasing all of the items will take 16,800 Apex Coins, or roughly $168.
