Apex Legends Season 8 Anniversary Collection will grant players with Heirloom Shards
The information comes from the Apex community’s credible dataminer Shrugtal. Collection events in Apex Legends usually feature a brand new Heirloom for a specific Legend. Fight Night is the most recent one, and it introduced Gibraltar’s Heirloom resembling a club-like object called Patu. However, it seems the next collection event could differ from the previous ones.
According to Shrugtal, Season 8 will feature the Anniversary Collection event, but it won’t add a new Heirloom. Instead, players will receive 150 Heirloom Shards as a reward for completing the collection of cosmetics. Using these heirloom shards, players can purchase any of the heirlooms already in the game, depending on their choice.
Season 8 will have the Anniversary collection event.
The reward for completing the collection will not be a new heirloom, rather you will receive 150 heirloom shards to purchase an existing one of your choosing.

Judging by the name of the event, it would mark the celebrations for the second anniversary of the launch of Apex Legends. While the exclusion of a new Heirloom might seem like a drawback, it actually isn’t. This is because Heirloom Shards are one of the rarest materials available from a regular Apex Pack. Therefore, it might be worth it to spend the necessary money.
Recolored skins in the Season 8 Anniversary Collection event
Shrugtal also revealed images of some exclusive Legend and weapon cosmetics the Season 8 event will bring. According to the dataminer, all the Legends except Loba, Rampart, and Horizon, will receive an “Anniversary” recolor of a legendary skin from past events and Battle Passes. This includes special recolors for legendary skins like Bangalore’s Outlands Warrior and Lifeline’s From the Ashes.
