Apex Legends Season 12: What are Heirlooms and how many are present?
Heirlooms are some of the rarest cosmetics in Apex Legends. Players either need a lot of luck or a ton of money in order to get their hands on one of them. These cosmetics are basically character-specific melee weapons that come with a unique banner pose and intro.
These cosmetics do not provide any extra advantage to gameplay apart from looking cool and more appealing. It is just a special animation. However, unlike skins, these items can be seen equipped on the character's hand upon holstering the weapon in-game.
Currently, there are a total of 12 Heirlooms present in Apex Legends. These items can only be unlocked with 150 Legendary Shards that can be obtained from Apex Packs. Once a player gets their hands on a lucky Apex Pack, three slots of 50 shards each are awarded to him/her.
Respawn Entertainment has confirmed that every player will get this legendary currency from the first 500 Apex Packs they open. Players can either wait and unlock packs as they continue playing the game or spend a significant amount of money to buy all these packs. Heirlooms now fall under the "Mythic" tier of cosmetics.
With Season 12, a new type of skin, also known as the "Prestige Skin," has been introduced in the game. Similar to Heirlooms, these also need to be obtained using Legendary Shards and fall under the "Mythic" tier of cosmetics.
Here is the complete list of Heirlooms that are currently present in Apex Legends:
