What is a normal level to receive an heirloom by?

[James Pond]

I'm level 200-nd something nand im starting to want to make a new account, just so i can save up the packs until i have like 50 cause its faster to leveling up.Words . . .

[Chaoslink]

Over level 300, not one shard even. No idea wtf is going on because a buddy is the same level and has 3.

[Xenial Jesse]

Also over 300, nothing.

[Raiman]

1/500 packs

there are a lot of lvl 500 players that still dont have heirloom

[The King in the North]

"garantized"

[Alcator]

1. Each Apex Pack you open has a very low chance of being an heirloom pack. The chance is probably LOWER than 1:10'000 (0.01%).
2. When you open an heirloom pack, it does not consume an Apex Pack
3. If you open 499 Apex Packs and do not find heirloom shards in any of them, then the next pack you open (#500) will be guaranteed heirloom pack.
4. Every season, there are 2 or 3 "Collection Events". During these, you can buy "Collection Event Packs" at 7 dollars a piece (there is also usually some "bundle" option that offers a form of discount. Each pack is guaranteed to contain 1 of the 24 collection event skins. If you acquire all 24 collection event skins, you get 150 heirloom shards for free - enough for a single complete heirloom.

What this means is that for 168 dollars, you can get an heirloom of your choice (and in fact, smart utilization of the bundles can bring the price down to ~152 dollars). You can only get 1 heirloom per collection event, but since there are 2 of these per season, you can get 4 heirlooms in 6 months for ~600 dollars.

Of course, you could also realize how ridiculous this is and refuse to participate in this type of economy...

Official odds "1 in 500 chance"

Nope, that's not the odds.

Do not confuse "We take mercy on you and give you an heirloom if you open 500 packs" with "Whenever you open a pack, we roll a 500 sided dice and if it rolls 0, we give you an heirloom".

"When a player opens an Apex Pack, there is a <1% probability of Heirloom Shards dropping"

Season 8 had 2, and if I remember correctly, Season 7 had two as well.

[Kopejka]

Got my wraith heirloom randomly like on the third day of the game release.
probably won't get another one for the next 1000 cases
I'd gladly give it to someone who actually mains wraith or change it for literally any other one

[Devilish Dave]

People at 500 haven't even got one. It's all luck, it's not related to levels.

[KNDY | No Toxicity!]

Guaranteed heirloom shards on 500 lootbox opened but since we don't get a lootbox every level, you'd most probably get heirloom shard before 500 box opened and that would be well beyond lvl 500.

Am lvl 1400 and got my heirloom by lvl 1100 but I have also bought roughly 200 box. Sooo... yea. You won't be getting one unless luck is with you.

That's how it works - you get heirloom shards, not specific heirloom. You get to choose which one you want.
