One of the rarest thing to get in Apex Legends, is an Heirloom, unless you dropped 300 or so for the event ones. It takes 500 packs to get a guaranteed heirloom.Well, here's what I've noticed...I'm a level 500 player, first week/month of Apex player. I've completed all the passes (except season 1 (96)). I used a Apex Pack calculator website to figure how many packs I had opened, (including ones I've bought). I have roughly 304 packs. No heirloom. Ah yes, I hear you... "getting an heirloom is a 1 in 500 Midnight, you can't just expect it after x amount of packs".No.. no...What I've noticed is that for some unknown reason, the game is giving low level accounts heirlooms. My friend who's in the 200 level range just got Wraith's today. My other friend in the 100 level range got theirs during season 3. I see a bunch of players below level 30 that have an heirloom as well.It appears that low level players are randomly given a rare heirloom. For what? To keep them playing the game? I don't expect to get lucky enough to unlock an heirloom, but I also expect that other players have the same exact odds as me. All of my heirloom friends didn't buy that many packs either.Why is the system "giving" special items to newer players?

@Midnight9746 It is most certainly catering to new players i posted about this very thing yesterday. How my friend at 150 has 3 hierlooms already and the only reason i even have my 2 is dropping 1 grand into the game. Stuck at level 500 with zero options at another hierloom until they finally one day decide to raise the level cap.But what you are seeing is correct which why you also see tons smurfs being made. There is a market on the internet for blank accounts with hierlooms. So in reality all they are doining is fueling the black market. There are thousands of accounts for sell from level 150 to below with hierlooms only on them. Its the entire sales point of these accounts.But i guess lets keep feeding the black market more low level hierloom accounts. =/

@Midnight9746 I know right I mean I'm a low level to I'm only level 100 but my friend got one at level 4

@E9ine_AC That's honestly a shame. I wish they make getting them a bit easier or with a decent amount of legend tokens.

@Midnight9746Every player should obtain one when they reach level 500 atleast, we should also be rewarded for our ammount of total playtime ive played 2-2.5k hrs and no heirloomnote: what I mean by rewarded for playtime is that the more you play the higher your odds are at unboxing an heirloom, this would also encourage newer players to play more

@Midnight9746 Its true m8. I'm also lvl 500 playing sinds day 1. Completed all battlepasses, all quests. I used all tokens from battlepasses...roughly 80? Plus i bought about 50 ( back when i thought this was gonna be the most populair game of all times... boy was i wrong ) according to the calc im at 490 packs. No heirloom.Iv been seeing more and more heirlooms on lower lvl accounts.Lucky for me i dont care about having a heirloom or not.. but it does proof this game is all about the $$$$ you can actually buy accounts with heirlooms.........I guess respawn and ea are desperate for some better player count.... im pretty sure they lost that battle months ago

@Midnight9746 The game makes no sense. I'm level 500, fully completed 3 battle passes, fully completed quest and also bought around 150-200 packs but oh no, nothing. Nothing at all. It takes the excitement out of getting it because it's sort of expected for me now to get it soon rather than being surprised and feeling very lucky. What infuriates me, is when I see ludicrously low leveled players ( level 0-50) with heirlooms. They probably don't even know what they are! What confuses me is they're happy to chuck out heirlooms to pathetic bots who don't even play and have no clue about the game.This is compared to players like us who play their game every day and are essentially part of the reason this game still semi alive but that doesn't cut it you see. Cuz they don't care about that at all. Its EA. What do you expect I guess.

@FaIIenAngeI777u shouldnt get an rarest item in the game just beaceuse u reached lvl cap. Its stupid and wouldn't make sense, but on the other side; i feel down for seeing day 1 players with no heirloom and than (when i swapped to new account from ps4 to pc) seeing those ppl who dont know basic controls showing off with their heirlooms. But we will never get lvl 500 heirloom coz its just ... xp. Why would u get rarest item in game coz u have lotta xp. Also to buy them for legends tokends makes no sense either, its basically other 'form' of xp (coz u get them from lvls). The problem is, i'd say, that ea need to swap those chances. So what am i talking about: go on any heirloom topic. Tons of new players saying 'oh i just got my heirloom on lvl 20' and sudenly tons of 500lvl players complaining how they still dont have an heirloom. Those should be opposite, simply ! Cheers guys !

IM sorry to inform you guys but the more money you put into the game the less change you would have to getting one, because they assume you have infinity money so their thought is that you would spend more to get to that 500 apex pack.

Been playing pretty much every day since day one, at least a couple hours each day I play. Still haven't gotten my heirloom. I even played for a while before the level cap went from 100 to 500. I tried to talk to a rep about it and they first said there was no such bug, then told me to report it on the page about it?
