Ultimate Apex Legends Black Friday: Heirloom Packs & Deals

The Heirloom Pack Gamble

One of the most talked-about additions to the Black Friday sale is the Heirloom Pack. For the first time in Apex Legends history, players can spend 150 heirloom shards to receive two heirloom packs. These packs promise two random heirlooms you don’t currently own. However, there’s a catch: you can only purchase this pack once per EA account.

What Are Heirloom Shards?

Heirloom shards are a rare in-game currency used to unlock exclusive heirloom cosmetics, which are some of the most coveted items in the game. Typically, players can spend these shards to pick a specific heirloom of their choice. However, with this new offer, the choice is removed, leaving players to gamble on which heirlooms they’ll receive.

The Pros and Cons

For players with heirloom shards to spare, this might seem like a good deal. You essentially get one heirloom for “free” as part of the offer. But there’s a downside—by spending your shards now, you won’t have any left for future heirlooms. If a new heirloom drops that you really want, you’ll need to purchase more shards with real money.

If you’re a collector or don’t mind which heirloom you get, this offer is appealing. For those who prefer control over their purchases, this gamble might not be worth it.

Fan-Favorite Skins Make a Comeback

The Black Friday sale isn’t just about heirlooms. A slew of popular skins has returned to the store, giving players a chance to snag cosmetics they may have missed. Highlights include:

• The Loba Winter skin
• The Underworld Guardian R-99 skin
• The Run the Street Octane skin
• The Laughing Fool Octane skin

Many of these skins haven’t been available for years, making this a golden opportunity for collectors.

New Starter Store Bundles

Another addition to the sale is the Starter Store section. Players who don’t yet own all Legends can purchase bundles to unlock them. Each bundle includes a set of Legends for 3,000 Apex coins. While this helps new players expand their roster, it has drawn criticism for its steep price point.

Additionally, smaller bundles allow players to unlock individual Legends paired with exclusive skins for 500 Apex coins.

What Else Is New in Black Friday?

The Black Friday sale also features:

• Retro Pack Bundles
• A mini collection event with Watson’s heirloom

Apex Legends has transformed its store into a hub for both nostalgia and new offers, enticing players to spend their hard-earned Apex coins and shards.

Should You Take the Gamble?

Whether or not to purchase the Heirloom Pack comes down to your playstyle and priorities. If you already have 150 heirloom shards and don’t mind taking a chance, the offer is hard to ignore. For those who prefer to save their shards for specific heirlooms, it’s better to wait.

What happens if you already own all heirlooms? That remains unclear. Some speculate that you might receive crafting materials instead, but this has yet to be confirmed.

Let us know in the comments if you’ve taken the gamble. What heirlooms did you get? And how are you enjoying the returning skins? Apex Legends’ Black Friday sale is a mix of excitement and risk, but one thing is certain: it has the community talking.
