No heirloom shards and discount in the Anniversary Collection Event
Update: Official Anniversary CE blog post https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/anniversary-collection-event
Confirmed that the BH mythic skin will be the “heirloom” and no 50% off discount for the rest of the skins.
I and a lot of people here are excited and saved up some crafting metals to get heirloom shards for the collection event once you buy all the skins. Unfortunately, that's not the case since the final reward is the Bloodhound prestige skin that you've seen in the trailer. As for the proper collection event in mid-season of S12, it's still post-apocalyptic themed with the Crypto heirloom.
Sadness. Just pure sadness. I guess this is great if you're a BH fan? IDK.
EA/Respawn could have gotten more money if they have just put the shards. Also...THERE ARE 4 HOLOSPRAYS IN THE COLLECTION EVENT. WHY?!
