Hey Legends! Pathfinder’s heirloom recolor has finally arrived in Apex Legends through a new milestone event, and I’ve got your back with the cheapest way possible to grab this shiny collectible. Let’s break down exactly what you need to do.
What’s Special About This Milestone Event?
This milestone event is slightly different from others we’ve seen before. Instead of the usual 36 items, there are only 30 collectible items. This structure closely resembles the Bloodhound recolor event we had previously, but unlike that event, no heirloom shards are available this time. However, you can unlock:
- Pathfinder’s Heirloom Recolor
- A new Reactive G7 Scout skin
New Animations for Pathfinder’s Heirloom
Great news: there are brand-new animations for Pathfinder’s heirloom! Even better, these animations also apply to the original Pathfinder heirloom, so you don’t have to buy the recolor if you’re only interested in the new animations.
Cheapest Method to Get the Heirloom Recolor
Follow these steps carefully to minimize your expenses:
Step 1: Buy the Discounted Event Packs
Always start by buying the discounted event packs first. This is crucial, as buying discounted packs later can cause you to lose out on significant savings.
Step 2: Claim andOpen Your Free Packs
There’s one free event pack available right now. You can earn it by completing the Legend Challenges (specifically, achieving 30 kills or assists) as part of the Sparrow unlock challenges. Be sure to claim this pack before moving forward.
Step 3: Craft Event Items with Crafting Metals
Use your saved crafting metals to craft as many event items as possible. The more you craft, the fewer packs you’ll need to purchase. Here’s a quick reference:
| Crafted Items | Packs Needed | Apex Coins Cost | Approx. USD Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 29 | 20,300 | ~$180 |
| 2 | 27 | 18,900 | ~$170 |
| 4 | 25 | 17,500 | ~$160 |
| 6 | 23 | 16,100 | ~$150 |
| 8 | 21 | 14,700 | ~$140 |
| 10 | 19 | 13,300 | ~$130 |
| 12 | 17 | 11,900 | ~$120 |
Adjust accordingly based on your available crafting metals.
Step 4: Buy Remaining Packs
Finally, purchase the remaining event packs to secure the heirloom recolor. Remember, since this is a milestone event, there’s always a chance you could unlock the heirloom recolor early, without needing to buy every single pack. It’s worth opening packs incrementally to potentially save yourself some coins.
Wait for the Mythic Store?
After the event ends, Pathfinder’s recolored heirloom will move to the Mythic Store, where you’ll be able to unlock it using heirloom shards. If you already have shards, it might be smarter (and cheaper) to wait and use them later rather than spending around $180 now. Ultimately, it’s your choice!
Hopefully, this breakdown helps you save money and secure that coveted heirloom recolor!
