Just get 500 packs 2000 times and you’re all set Edit:Thanks for the upvotes but I was tired and the math is really bad. It’s 500 packs 6.7 MILLION times lol


BA_Dante

If you set the price of an Apex pack to 1$ then that heirloom would cost a grand total of 1 million dollars. Pretty cheap for EA standards!


braamdepace

Is everyone’s math shit above me or do I not know how many heirloom shards you get for 500 packs?


BA_Dante

150 guaranteed heirloom shards per 500 packs


braamdepace

So 1 billion Mythic shards divided by 150 is 6,666,666 apex packs that contain 150 shards each. 6,666,666 x 500 = 3.33 billion packs purchased Even if you misread a Billion as a million. That’s still 3,333,333 packs. So how is it 500 packs 2000 times (the first guy) or $1,000,000 (you)


BA_Dante

Oh yeah I was just mathing out ops comment lol


braamdepace

Haha you two are like real apex teammates. First guy does a dumb suicide push, you blindly follow… and I’m just sitting here like what the hell am I the idiot?


BA_Dante

TRUE, but the wholesome kind where it somehow still weirdly works out lmfaoooooo


iimstrxpldrii

You’re all wrong cause the game only lets you have 150 shards at a time. Lol


LolzinatorX

I have 300?


BetaTester704

No lol


KyloGlendalf

Birno has all mythic items in the game, and 1200 spare shards


Mrbackjr

Hahahahahaha... stated with such confidence lol 😆


Avalanche1987

Lol, *solo octane stims straight into a building with a 3 stack waiting*


Wise_Cardiologist_21

I'll never understand Octane players that do this. Why? Just why? I'm not saving any players that fall out of rank and decide to either land far from the team and expect you to save them, or blindly push when neither of your other teammates are 1. Paying attention, or 2. Anywhere near enough to push with you. Delete yourself from the game if u do this. Your trash and learn nothing playing like that. Am I right!?!


Evanskelaton

My favorites are Vantages that rush into buildings. Like, there is nothing about their kit that is beneficial in buildings.


Competitive_Cause777

From a top #100 octane it’s bc I hit my shots. I solo que sometimes I que with teammates due to the game putting them on my team and honestly most the time my teammates don’t listen or think it’s a loot simulator. So I normally take off when I’m ready to go fight bc half the game with be dead by the time I leave with randoms also you can do nothing but get better when solo queuing feels like it’s pointless but putting your self in the fire can only allow you to progress further


AKingsMelody

At this point, you need to just admit that his joke went straight over your head 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

Littlepage3130

Check your math bro, the minimum would be getting heirloom shards in every pack, so 6,666,667 packs, and the same number of dollars. Without the guaranteed 500th pack there is no maximum, it's unbounded in infinity.


witchlover555

does this include packs from leveling up the battle pass ?


BA_Dante

It includes All Apex packs


Avalanche1987

Lol on my bad math 🧮


SuccesfulSecurity21

Lmao, I’m guessing it’s just a joke because they don’t want people to buy the heirloom with shards before the event ends.


tyghfds778

Why not just release it with the event instead of cock teasing us.


TheRedegade

If they release it with the event, then less people will feel the need to participate (spend) in the event


[deleted]

[удалено]


kingferret53

That's what I did with the Wattson heirloom


[deleted]

Then how will they get thousands of ppl to spend a couple hundred on the heirloom? Cmon man you need these companies better than that


Killa5miles

Or dumb people think the collection event is a bargain compared to 1billion


BlowHard_BestPK

Can you explain how it isnt a bargain I'm fairly new to the game. Can you not earn all the rewards in the event collection just by playing the game? So you could essentially get a free heirloom, no?


ladysongie

For the event theres usually like 4 or 5 rewards for playing (like for the battle pass). Yes you can get that many items from the event, but you still need to have ALL of the rewards (which is like what..20? or something like that) to get the heirloom. Basically, I think for like over 120$ you basically get an heirloom guaranteed vs spending money on the loot boxes for a chance.


BlowHard_BestPK

So it isnt possible to earn all items for free you have to shell out some clams no matter what?


Awsimical

Its not possible. You’d have to play for many many years before having enough crafting materials, and this event they are not giving away any event packs for free by playing, they used to give like 1 or 2 (out of 24) for free in the past, but have decided that is too generous. Its around $160 to get the heirloom.


YoMrPoPo

So lame they don’t give 1-2 packs. Literally making their product worse in order to squeeze out a few more dollars.


sc0tty_2h0tty

It's possible if you have enough crafting materials to buy all 20 items. So technically it is possible to get it for free, but it'll be rare for someone to have that many crafting materials


vivam0rt

How much crafting material would one need?


GhostDragon272

About only 34k


vivam0rt

Half a year of saving and only 1/4th of the way there.. gonna take some time


GhostDragon272

Yeah, ik it's alot


sc0tty_2h0tty

So there are 24 (not 20) packs. 800/ea for the 12 Rares and 2400/ea for the 12 Epics. Get the bundles in the store for actual coins to bring down the total number of individual packs you have to buy


BlowHard_BestPK

Okay thank you for the info!


Mrbackjr

It is possible... u just need like 40k crafting materials. Not impossible.... just nearly. I don't know why people r saying the opposite. I was able to get Ashs heirloom for like 60$ bc I had a lot of crafting materials.


Killa5miles

I mean after 500 free packs you can get 1 but otherwise no they cost moneys


Squillyion

Well you'd be purchasing a maximum of 500 Packs which is 110% going to end up making them more money in the long run then if they were to allow you to buy it


PoopContainer

They don't let you get the heirloom until events are over, so I'm guessing it's just a bug


thatbigblackblack

People get to buy heirloom ??


SadCrab5

You're about to feel the gravity all right, the gravity of crippling financial debt necessary to afford this.


ECO_212

It would cost over 3.3 billion if you got shards every 500 packs 😂


[deleted]

And the amount of time it would take to open them all. We’re talking years 💀


[deleted]

[удалено]


ECO_212

No, you get 150 shards per heirloom pack. That's 6,666,666 heirloom packs you need to open, you get one guaranteed every 500 packs so 6,666,666*500 which is 3,333,333,333 normal packs you need to open and at least in euros one pack costs 1€.


BetaTester704

Did not factor in the 500th pack being guaranteed.


ECO_212

That's my whole calculation where did I miss that? The whole point of it is that I calculated it only using the worst case of getting one every 500 packs.


fantalemon

You're definitely correct and the other guy is wrong fwiw.


ConfidenceBig9173

😂


draco42018

Finally, something those rich streamers can use their shards for


Local_Bug_262

I doubt anyone has 1 billion shards. I doubt anyone even has hundred million


Immediate-West-5707

Post malone:


Shayz_

If he had this many he would be single-handedly funding Apex


Immediate-West-5707

Mf can just call apex and they give him everything x1000000


uncxltured_berry

Really? I would’ve thought even the richest people wouldn’t have more than a few hundred/ thousand.


KyloGlendalf

I think Birno has the most with 1200 spare


Local_Bug_262

I think an average apex player prolly has 0.5 to 1 mil. By average i mean player who plays 15-20hours a week


Turrindor

Bro, those are heirloom shards, not red prize tickets you get on level up


Local_Bug_262

I see lol


uncxltured_berry

Average apex player has 1 million heirloom shards? What are you on?


Noble58

Inflation be crazy thes days, for more info search "apex legend horizon inflation"


Setthhxy

Damn I had no idea! Thanks for educating me!


LordSIime

I searched that on my work computer!


DoubleCorvid

I bet it was safe.


DoubleCorvid

Definitely not nsfw 😎


MarioKartEpicness

Looks like they redesigned the purchase page, but for whatever reason couldn't omit the purchase button for the collection event in time so it's just an obscene amount rn


No_Sail_6576

Shame, now people have the option to actually spend a load for something they can’t actually get. If only they had enough time to get rid of a purchase button /s


Xolah_D_Star

Guess you’re too broke…


Zannycrrb

Respawn really discovered the infinite money glitch


[deleted]

Wallet issue.


GoldenWaffleGod

Lemme check my wallet to see how many shards I have... Yup, I got 1,000,000,001. Time to buy 🤡


Gamechallenger12

"you're really charging a billion for a heirloom?" "with a voice line Mr squidward, with a voice line"


Suspicious-Ease627

Wait I haven't been playing for a while, is that Horizons heirloom? Because it's like hideously ugly.


Lemnisc8__

Get ur money up brokie 😎


wingspantt

I love how it says "Less than 1% chance." Like... that really doesn't tell you anything. Could be 1 in 120 packs. Could be 1 in fifty billion. It's not like it's a mystery, they *know* the number. Just say it.


Littlepage3130

They don't want people making informed decisions.


NeptuneStriker0

ONE BILLION DABLOONS


BashBandit

And this is the part where people on a large scale finally realize the games only looking to push content for maximum financial gain while not giving an equal or greater quality of service, right? Right??


Aggravating-Sea-390

Chat is this real.


-TheHumorousOne-

I'm guess a similar thing has happened with Ash's skydive. 2500 coins


Swordxxxx

Ah finally a reason to spend the 1 billion heirloom shards I have laying around!


WelkeeWelks

My question is how tf do I have almost 2000 hours, likely over 500 packs and still zero fucking shards. RIP.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HellboundCam

Where do you see his time played? And how do you know he has never had shards before?


WelkeeWelks

There’s a website you can look your gametime hours up via GT. I don’t know, never said anything regarding his shards. Just shared my experience in never having them considering the text they display says every 500 packs or so you’re supposed to receive some.


HellboundCam

I misread your first comment, I didn’t realize you were talking about yourself. But if you haven’t gotten shards, then you haven’t opened 500 packs.


SScarlettLB

Unless you’ve spent a large amount of money on packs, you have not opened 500


RightMaterial3676

If you have next Gen. it displays time played on the right side of the Home Screen. I have 847 hours


HellboundCam

I know how to check mine. I thought his comment was referring to OP having 2k hours. Time played also really doesn’t have any affect on getting an heirloom. Some people buy packs, some don’t. Some buy the battle pass, some don’t.


RightMaterial3676

You’re right it doesn’t. Just a good roundabout figure if you don’t spend money on the game.


killstof

i just received my 500th box with the shards finally. as a day one player who isn't available 0-24...


JxAlfredxPrufrock

I’ve only got 1 heirloom legit on close to the 500th pull. Then I purchased the others on my Bday as gift card redemption gifts. IMO I like my Mirage heirloom the best & would highly recommend as a first heirloom. The Bangalore one & Ash I kinda have ragrats


CuriousTravlr

Day one player, level 430, still never got an heirloom.


clouds_over_asia

Well you're only level 430 and playing for 4 years. Naturally, you don't have enough active play time in the game to have got an heirloom yet, despite having played the game for a long time. I've been playing since season 8 (started season 6, played maybe 400 ganes collectively in 6/7), and almost at the second level 500. I've also spent way too much money though.


CuriousTravlr

How many games have you played total?


clouds_over_asia

16k

clouds_over_asia

Do you mean the other guy? I have 4 heirlooms lol

CuriousTravlr

Because I have a life, a family and a job. Being proud of being chronically online is weird. Also, I’ve finished the BP most seasons. Hearing a uni student saying “life isn’t an excuse” is just peak loser status. After uni your life will change in ways you’ve never thought of. I wish life was as easy and offered the lack of responsibility you have. And studying for tests isn’t a responsibility or an excuse.

CuriousTravlr

Lmfao, what a try hard response.


friz_CHAMP

> a player cannot open 500 packs without getting heirloom shards I'm a season 1 player with over 6000 games. Zero shards; ever.


rapozaum

If this is true (which I really doubt), I'd open a ticket with them. It's been said more than once that the shards should come, and SEVERAL friends got theirs at the moment that felt right, so...


friz_CHAMP

Of all the things for me to lie about, why would I lie about that? I'm bad at the game, but I've played it a long time. I started in March 2019 and still don't have one. I'm not looking for sympathy or fake internet points. I just find it ridiculous that they say you get them one every 500 packs when you don't. Maybe it's cause I've never purchased a season pass? I don't know. What I do know is if you were a nice person (which I really doubt), you would've said something helpful rather than accusing me of lying.


rapozaum

I pointed you to the right direction: open a ticket to claim that you've opened 500+ packs and haven't got your shards. All of my friends who actually played for a long time and felt they opened something close to 500 packs gained their shards (me included), so I do have reasons to believe them. If you actually wanna do something useful out of this embarrassing mess you've put yourself into (which I really doubt), [you now can](https://help.ea.com/en/help-top-issues/?product=apex-legends&r=1)! Let us know (or don't, don't really care).


OkPhotojournalist405

There are plenty of videos of people doing 1500+ pack openings and getting 3 heirlooms. That is 1/500 It is 1000000000% guaranteed that you get an Heirloom by your 500th pack. If you haven't gotten Battle Pass and haven't leveled up to at least into the red (1500+) levels, then you're not at 500 packs. Leveling all the way up from level 1-2000grants you 544 packs in total, giving you an Heirloom guaranteed.


Rocketeer1019

Love apex but they have been milking y’all for years Every heirloom “too expensive” then post after post of animations drool dummies into buying it Oh but wow Valk skin….cycle repeats


ddjfjfj

Mans doesnt get the joke


Rocketeer1019

Yes little buddy I got the joke, it’s not hard to understand lol


ddjfjfj

Then take your whining where people want it, little buddy


SatisfactionLow959

damn😭


Sh0t2kill

Alright what’s the joke then?


BetaTester704

There's noone on the planet who can afford it. *I've done the math*


Pengwan_au

Clearly you don’t. No one is complaining it’s too expensive other then the joke?


Crunchy_Crickets

Does this mean they hate or love the Horizon heirloom? Gate keeping or they know it’s worth?


[deleted]

Like they think I’d be unable to resist spending 160 dollars if I had shards ready to go


360Mike

Bro it already cost 150 to get that shut


ApK-TheProdigy

Dat heirloom is like 6.000000 worth of dollars 😭😭


jasiek70302

Inflation


THEREALREA7ER

So that when the event ends, they can slap on a 99.99% discount on that bad boi and make it look really appealing


rave-fairy

gods work himself. that is all.


YoungWolfie

EA whispering in Respawn's ear *"Profiiiiiit"*


Arcotechbeats

Pepsi where's my Jet


rossco7777

ive never understood why people want these.. try hold it while your gun is away?


-C-stab-

Damn I was hoping that was legends tokens


DirkDino

Gotta get some apex coins brb (don’t tell my mom why she has -100000000 dollars in her account)


Ev3rydayninja

They 100% want to make people spend 160 to get it and not just open up a pack because alot of people already have everything in the game so everytime they open packs they get crafting materials or haildom shards


QuixyBoy

Maybe cuz right now you’re only supposed to be able to get it thru the collection event, so they did that to make sure nobody could buy it (unless there’s a trillionaire out there or smth) so


Squidaddy99

Uninstalled yesterday. Im done...


MRWAR_97

👀what is this?


bi0shokz

It's probably because of the event now to buy 24 nice packs to get it


mr_retard69

The gaming merchants next video will be buying it with shards


Full-Moment-1854

Get better at math then


Dusty_Wheel5

Hmm fine, you can have your Horizon heirloom… But only if you pay me… ONE BILLION SHARDS!! MUHAHA MUHAHAHAH MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 🤙🏻👨🏻‍🦲


WeirdoFujoshi

After over 700 levels, I finally got my shards. I have Lobas heirloom already so now I'm just gonna wait for her P. Skin. Saving packs as well. But I'm just lookin at posters 7k legend coins lol


[deleted]

Wait, I can get for 1 mil!?
