- @MandatoryIDtag Awh dang, yeah that makes sense. I suppose my curiosity has been satisfied for now
@SorryWeDied Happy to help, fingers crossed for you on that heirloom drop!
- DarthValtrex6 years agoHero (Retired)@SorryWeDied I got curious about how many Apex packs I opened. So... I pulled up my bank and did a transaction search. It gave me a ballpark idea on the number of packs I've opened (give or take 20-30 packs). My best guess is I'm in the 390-400 pack range.
Now I will tell you, as your opening packs it seems to take a TON of packs to get to even the 400 marker. I was thinking I should be close to the heirloom by now. That's what motivated me to look at my transaction history on my end. In the mean time I have stock piled almost 10,000 crafting materials and have received a bunch of cool skins.
Just to answer a few questions, the odds of getting a heirloom are about .2%, those odds do not increase with each pack you open. It does not matter if you've opened 1 pack or 499 packs, it will always be .2%. There is simply a counter in the game that tracks the number of packs you have opened and on the 500th pack if you have not received one, it gives you one. If you receive one before you hit 500 packs, the counter is then reset. So if you've opened 250 packs and receive a heirloom on the 251st pack, then your counter is reset to 0.
When you open the pack, the RNG is stopped producing a number sequence, that number sequence correlates with items in the game. The animation that follows and the items you receive are all determined the moment you open the pack. For example the RNG stops at lets say 957, 9 would be linked to a legendary R-99 skin, 5 linked to a common quip, 7 to a rare gun charm.

It's not perfect but should give you an idea when that sweet pack will drop.
I just hope something like a Pack counter will be implemented soon.- @MandatoryIDtag Tracking unbox items on all acc there is coudlnt fill one 32 GB flash
