For readers who may not know what heirlooms are inApex Legends, they are special items specific to each Legend that they carry when their weapons are holstered. Each heirloom set comes with the special item, a special banner pose, and a special intro quip. Heirlooms inApex Legendsare extremely rare items andrequire the use of heirloom shardsto unlock the set. For now, it seems that fans only get to see what Bangalore’s heirloom item will be, and not her banner pose or intro quip.
As for when Bangalore’s heirloom will be added toApex Legends, there’s a pretty good chance it will appear in the next Town Takeover event. During the last Fight Night Town Takeover eventGibraltar’s heirloom collection was addedto the game. Luckily, fans already have a good idea of what the next Town Takeover event will be like, though only through more leaked information. While this information hasn’t been officially confirmed, there’s a good chance the information found through these leaks will be fairly accurate.
According toApex Legendsdataminer and leaker Biast12 thenext Town Takeover event involves Causticand his poisonous gas traps. Unfortunately, players don’t know exactly when this Town Takeover event is coming toApex Legends, but dataminers have given us a vague idea of when we can expect it. Teaser information was found within the game’s code, with dates for February 1, 25, 27, and March 1 labeled within.
While those dates are not likely to be set in stone, there’s a good chance Caustic’s Town Takeover event is coming sometime in March. When the event starts, players will probably see the inclusion of Bangalore’s heirloom as well. Before then, though, players should look forward toApex Legends' Anniversary Collection event, which will offer up a bunch of new and returning cosmetics for most of the Legends in the game. Until Caustic’s Town Takeover event, player’s should take the time to enjoy all the brand new content coming toApex Legendsin Season 8.
Apex Legendsis available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and will release for the Switch on March 9.
