Season 24 of Apex Legends has officially broken records, offering Players the most free packs in a single season. So, what does that mean for you? If you’ve been grinding for heirloom shards, you might be closer than you think. In this article, we’ll break down how you can claim your final 20 free packs today and how many packs we’ve had available this season, so you can figure out just how close you are to getting your heirloom.
How to Get Your Final 20 Free Packs Today
The best part? You’ve still got time to complete these challenges! Here’s how to grab your final 20 free packs from the Creator Commissioner event:
- Complete the community challenges: The community challenges were completed last week, so great job! Now, focus on this week’s challenges to earn the packs.
- Challenges include:
- Reveal two care packages using Skirmisher Legends
- Play five matches of EPG Extreme
- Check out the free tracker in the store tab, featuring the cool Pathfinder one
- Deal 404 damage
These challenges should be easy compared to some of the previous ones this season, so expect those packs to be in your hands soon. Additionally, completing these challenges doesn’t just get you the packs — you’ll also unlock a massive skin! Keep an eye out for that if you haven’t grabbed it yet.
The Total Number of Free Packs This Season
Now, let’s break down how many free packs you’ve been able to collect this season. When you add everything up, it’s quite alot!
- Creator Commissioner Packs: From the community challenges, you’ve earned 80 free packs.
- Battle Pass Free Packs: We’ve also had seven free packs per split in the Battle Pass, which gives you 14 free packs for the season.
That brings us to a total of 94 free packs so far.
How Close Are You to Your Heirloom?
Now, let’s work out where you stand in terms of getting your heirloom shards.
Each of those 94 packs has a small chance of giving you heirloom shards, with the odds sitting at 0.045% per pack. So, it’s possible to get heirlooms in those 94 packs. However, if you don’t get it in any of those packs, don’t worry — there’s still a guaranteed heirloom shard after 500 packs.
Guaranteed Heirloom Shards
If you’ve been opening packs for a while and still haven’t received heirloom shards, don’t stress — you are guaranteed to get them after 500 packs. Yes, this is confirmed by the devs, so if you haven’t received heirloom shards in your 104 free packs, you’re very close to hitting that 500-pack threshold.
Fun fact: If you weren’t around in the early days of Apex Legends, getting this many free packs would have taken 10 seasons. This season alone, you’ve been able to rack up what would normally take years!
Final Thoughts
If you haven’t yet got your heirloom, you’re closer than ever! With 104 free packs this season (and more potentially on the way), you’re already halfway to that guaranteed heirloom. It’s safe to say that you’re going to be seeing that heirloom shard soon if you haven’t already gotten it.
Good luck on your grind! If you do get your heirloom, let us know in the comments. And remember, there are more giveaways coming soon, so stay tuned for more opportunities to earn free packs!
