150 Heirloom Shards (ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION EVENT)

"Unlocking all items in the Collection Event will earn you 150 heirloom shards, so you can unlock any heirloom you want."

-  So I have all the heirlooms unlocked and I recently got heirloom shards in a pack, so you can have them all and still get them... So now I’m just wondering if I can buy all these event packs and stack it to 300? Or if I will get any at all.  I'm not sure if anyone is in this same situation or not, if so I would really like to know before I open every pack.

  • Same question. Would really be good to get a confirmation from EA on this. 

    Simple question - If you have all the heirlooms unlocked currently, can you get 150 heirloom shards by buying all the anniversary event cosmetics and bank the shards for a future heirloom when released?

    If the general rule applies... I'm afraid you cannot.
    You can only have as many heirloom shards x150 as the game currently has.

    But it's a really interesting question.

    Hey, thanks for the question

    For general folks who have all heirlooms and no shards, this should be fine, you should be able to get the bonus 150 and "bank" them.

    However I'm not sure if having enough shards for 2 heirlooms at this stage would work, as your situation is very unusual, if not unique. I've seen some rare cases of 300 stacked shards, but that was while multiple heirlooms were left unacquired.  @Travis2006  In this case I'd hold off to be sure, and I've tried to get clarification on this.

    I'm also wondering if we can stack 300 heirloom shards because i want to keep the shards for Bangalore heirloom.
    Now i don't know if i should open normal apex packs or keep them until Bangalore heirloom is available to unlock.
    Also, i hope it doesn't reset my normal apex packs heirloom counter.
  • Any more news on this issue?  I want to be able to get all the event skins but want to make sure I'll actually at least get the shards.  If there was a Heirloom available I would spend the 150 I have and then open the packs but unfortunately, there is not...

    If you do it then definitely record everything 😉 your player name your current heirloom shards and then proceed to unlock everything like in this video or wait for an official EA response.

    I found this video! Impossible... but possible 🤣
