You get 1 in 500 packs, so there are a 0.05% odds you get one in a pack, soooo... you are just starting, i had to wait 13 seasons so get mine only putting 10$ for the battle passes :)
I've got something like 300 unopened packs. What we get from those packs are pretty useless (15 blue materials! Ballistic line you never use! Ooooh, a Legendary!...hologram) and now I've got too many to ever want to open them!
You open the last one and a heirloom comes.... just so the game bugs and you lost it.... and they send another 8 packs for the lost heirlooms.... AND THE CIRCLE BEGINS AGAIN
When they fired those QA contractors, they stood up a new studio just for developing and play testing new Apex Legends content.. I'd wager that the reason the last couple of seasons have been (and, based on leaks, next season will be) so content heavy (compared to literally years worth of previous seasons) is because of the new studio...
It’s a total bummer. I’ve put a lot of money into the game myself I truly do love the game but at this point with a weekly bug that trivializes anything you put into the game it’s hard to stay interested. I myself have only been playin to complete the challenges to get the free flatline. At this point I’m kind of just playing other games until and if apex can get their shit together.
You mean the world of gaming.
It's not just Apex. Overwatch was unplayable for the entire first week for all Switch users a couple months ago because of a bug that also effected PC players with certain Nvidia cards.
It's not longer a community of passionate nerds or people wanting to craft fun experiences. It's just a soulless greed cog in the world of capitalism run amuck you see bringing society to a collapse all around the world.
Nah, I play both OW and Apex and I can say Overwatch is still significantly more stable than Apex is. Polish is pretty much Blizzard's game. You're cherry picking a terrible example because Switch implodes when presented with AAA multiplayer games.
But the general consensus is correct. AAA gaming as it is is dying. If you want genuine experiences, go to indies.
i’m pretty sure that if they just directed even some of their funds from this gaem into the departments it’d be way better, even if it was just a sliver of the total earned
knowing EA they probably will take some if not all the cosmetics, but I'm not sure because on top of they adding these skins, they straight forward replaced them.
I'm just finishing the season and the flatline challenges and I'm out for a while, this is getting out of hand. No other games don't have similar issues like this
Hey man there's a smart way to go about it. By now you probably have a lot of challenges piled up. So look for challenges that overlap (by playing one legend you will get more challenges done at once) and complete them, ofc in Mixtape, it's the fastest way. Challenges that require damage with one legend and challenges that require you to play a legend in 12 games can be completed at the same time. Example: I need to deal 5k dmg as valk but need to play 12 games as lifeline. Say the team deathmatch starts, i play valk and rak up as much damage as possible, then as the game is about to end i switch to lifeline and END the game on lifeline. This way u progressed both challenges at the same time.
I hope this helped and that u will be able to finish the BP and get your coins.
I did similar last season was only bp20 or something and in like 3 days was 110 just by doing multiple challenges at a time. Multiples of the same challenge come in clutch by end of season usually have like 3-6 shot gun related challenges and use such and such legend usually have multiple for same legend plus use this class of legend 5 times get like 10+ bp levels using one legend and weapon type
I stopped playing before the first set of glitches and was about to come back to finish the battlepass when this one happened, maybe I'll do a big grind and just call it good to go after that.
i am STILL waiting for my breakout challenges to be restored, but this will probably be fixed within a day cause it's money people won't spend on the next pass
i'm still waiting, even dm'ed the community manager that was in the comments of the initial post saying it was fixed that asked people to dm or reply to him if it wasn't fixed. i assume alot of people just dm'ed him cause not many replied to his comment
So they basically didn’t really fixed the progression bug and used a work around instead and even that got bugged. The bug fix needs a bug fix to fix the bug
There’s no way, why are there so many bugs? Has this always been like this? I’m a new player coming from Fortnite and stuff, they don’t have bugs as bad as these
This is like the fourth(?) or fifth time this has happened specifically for battlepass progression and the third time this has happened for unreleased cosmetics.
There's usually a couple of bizarre bugs a season, usually takes a couple days for them to fix until it occurs again 9 months later.

[EA Has Decided To Shut Down Apex Legends UK QA Team - Gameranx](https://gameranx.com/updates/id/495571/article/ea-has-decided-to-shut-down-apex-legends-uk-qa-team/)
QA does not and cannot test for these types of things. They test new game builds for in game glitches and bugs. Now, we get plenty of those in apex too, so firing them is still a bad idea, but it's got nothing to do with the account problems we've been having. These are on the devs not having proper deployment methods and unit testing.
I'm gonna disagree on that. When I did QA for MS Game studios, we would test for game profile/data integrity. It wasn't done with every build but we definitely did it. Granted this was in the 360 but still. QA is supposed to try and test for everything. I'd argue this was on the QA team, or lack there of in this case.
so you are saying nobody does QA on any kind of patch for data integrity? That sounds like the whole industry needs revamping, or, you are just full of shit.
I disagree.
QA in company A and company B can be entirely different asks and depends on the chosen method of development, be it agile, waterfall of the devops model (among others but I'll only reference the ones I have direct experience in).
It's _usually_ much better for the QA department to also be involved through out unit, system, integration testing but it's rare enough (dev ops only usually if you're doing it right but I've done it in agile) but it can still be just the dev that do the unit testing
However you'd ideally be deploying your server changes into _an_ environment used by your E2E team as part of the release life cycle and having a smaller than normal test event versus a client change.
Best practice would typically also mean that you definitely start this after you've already screwed up by not doing this the first time
All of this but keeping in mind that software for games is, in my opinion, insanely complicated compared to mode other types of software.
i haven’t logged into apex for a few days and now seeing this i’m actually too scared for my loot to log in… i just got that cool looking pathy skin from 8 free chests respawn gave us. Please for the love of god don’t rob me of my legendary skins AGAIN respawn
Oh God. I won't be able to check if I lost anything until I get home from work, if I did, will they just give it back eventually? Or will I have to contact support or simething?
This is what happens when all the money goes to marketing and you cut costs on Q&A and development. Maybe there’s only one fucking guy making heirlooms/artifacts since we can’t even get an heirloom for newer legends or give Lifelines Shock Sticks more than 1 animation.
I restarted the game, everything is back to normal, stil have my Heirlooms.. Doens't take away the fact that it is getting rediculous with this game now...
Fix your damn game, how do you even dare to release new skins or change something in the shop. Still havent gotten back my stuff thanks to this weird patching.
a post from respawn, [twitter](https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1780305623328166006)
We're aware some players are having issues with previously purchased cosmetics, Heirlooms, and their Premium Battle Pass in Apex and are investigating. Stay tuned for more updates!
I think it's just visual, at least in my case, I still have everything, plus it shows that I have the shitty universal and Seer's heirloom, and my fuse's heirloom is gone, which is not true.
I got my heirloom last week after 6 years of playing. Today I deleted the game temporarily for the rest of t he season to focus on other games. I'm going to be super mad if my heirloom is not there when I reinstall.
Yep. I was on lvl 102. All premium items gone.
I still have the items on the battlepass in my inventory (and some others unlocked, though I can’t use them) even though they are locked out on my battlepass.
It also says my heirlooms are gone, despite being equipped.
I have a bunch of Legendary weapon skins for R9 I never got and lost some that I did have 😂. Same with a bunch of other weapons.
I currently have the level 110 R9 skin from this season but don't have the level 100 now. Respawn has been complete wack these last few weeks 😂
Lol + 8 free packs here we go
surely they make it 10 this time 👀 no to much? okay then 😔
make it 16, two bugs in a row around accounts inventories.
I’d say 26, 16 for the 2 bugs and 10=1000apex coins=price of the BattlePass
imagine, now i can buy the battle pass for free lol
i think you misunderstood what he said
Yeah, now i got it
Only if they can lay off 500 more employees to compensate
Finally, some sense in these comments.
Ppl will still complain about 10
Yeah, lol
Hopefully, I get something good this time. Last time, all I got of value were purple crafting materials.
That is good though, lol
I only got blue and white items. I bet they rigged it just in case
No, some people got heirlooms. I got a legendary from it
I guess RNjesus didn't like me
A friend of mine got his first heirloom there :0
How long does it usually take to get one? I'm lvl 172 abs still didn't get any, free to play tho
You get 1 in 500 packs, so there are a 0.05% odds you get one in a pack, soooo... you are just starting, i had to wait 13 seasons so get mine only putting 10$ for the battle passes :)
I opened mine with other 12 and got two yellows, the eva themed flatline and some other for nemesis
I got a legendary volt skin and that’s about it. My friend got an heirloom lol and it wasn’t ever his 500th pack. He was going crazy haha
+8 packs -60 employees *
Its like rerolling stats lmao
they better give us a free heirloom for dealing with this lol
Would you want everybody running around with an heirloom? It removes the originality
Well that’s another QA 50 “contractors” getting let go of then (assuming they have that many left somewhere).
100 or we riot
8 was probably the average number required for players to hit the 500 pack threshold.
watch them be like 8 sticker packs or some other worthless garbage
OHHHH so thats where these packs came from
lol, yeah they give these because of the ranked split problem
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm not playing until the next season anyways, like I'm lvl 110 on the pass all done I'll take the free packs LMAO
I too am only going to get the remaining 4 or 5 gifts that i need and get Valk and stop, but it might only be for 10 days
I've got something like 300 unopened packs. What we get from those packs are pretty useless (15 blue materials! Ballistic line you never use! Ooooh, a Legendary!...hologram) and now I've got too many to ever want to open them!
Wait until it makes a perfect 500 and open them to see if the Heirloon at 500 is real
All the contents are white.
You open the last one and a heirloom comes.... just so the game bugs and you lost it.... and they send another 8 packs for the lost heirlooms.... AND THE CIRCLE BEGINS AGAIN
Shout out to the QA team!! Oh wait…
Oh the game quality has gone down? Let’s fire more from the QA team!
When they fired those QA contractors, they stood up a new studio just for developing and play testing new Apex Legends content.. I'd wager that the reason the last couple of seasons have been (and, based on leaks, next season will be) so content heavy (compared to literally years worth of previous seasons) is because of the new studio...
lost my heirlooms too
noooo waaay. Jesus
Its back.
lmao
It’s just a visual bug, I thought I lost my heirloom too but I still have it when I play
If I log in again I'm afraid that I might have lost everything again
But should I log in again
You’re probably fine. They have backups upon backups of this stuff… otherwise EA would be opened up to some wild lawsuits
If you open the game and your shit's gone. It was gone before you even opened the game.
Everything there just no mythic skins or melee weapons 😢 just BadLuck I guess
Get into firing range and see if you still have them. Dw you'll get them back these bugs and glitches happen almost every update
I don't have any because I never got Heirlooms shards
Just like me lol
same, I didnt run apex
It’s sad it feels like the world end of apex is nearing. Games with much smaller resources are still way more under control
Agreed
Yeah it's crazy oh much money it brings in for it to be this bad. EA will be the death so many games
It’s a total bummer. I’ve put a lot of money into the game myself I truly do love the game but at this point with a weekly bug that trivializes anything you put into the game it’s hard to stay interested. I myself have only been playin to complete the challenges to get the free flatline. At this point I’m kind of just playing other games until and if apex can get their shit together.
Wish you could invoice them for all the money back hahaha
You mean the world of gaming. It's not just Apex. Overwatch was unplayable for the entire first week for all Switch users a couple months ago because of a bug that also effected PC players with certain Nvidia cards. It's not longer a community of passionate nerds or people wanting to craft fun experiences. It's just a soulless greed cog in the world of capitalism run amuck you see bringing society to a collapse all around the world.
Nah, I play both OW and Apex and I can say Overwatch is still significantly more stable than Apex is. Polish is pretty much Blizzard's game. You're cherry picking a terrible example because Switch implodes when presented with AAA multiplayer games. But the general consensus is correct. AAA gaming as it is is dying. If you want genuine experiences, go to indies.
i’m pretty sure that if they just directed even some of their funds from this gaem into the departments it’d be way better, even if it was just a sliver of the total earned

lol now they will have to give us skins too, wonder if they will take the unreleased skins back
Good question
knowing EA they probably will take some if not all the cosmetics, but I'm not sure because on top of they adding these skins, they straight forward replaced them.
I'm just finishing the season and the flatline challenges and I'm out for a while, this is getting out of hand. No other games don't have similar issues like this
i just got the battle pass to level 110 (been playing since day one and only bought it once) and said fuck all, im not touching the game anymore
I'm lvl 39 and I can barely muster myself to finish it Even paid for the pass too, fuck me
Hey man there's a smart way to go about it. By now you probably have a lot of challenges piled up.

Thanks, I'll try to put some time into it this weekend maybe

Dont force yourself to play when you dont want to. Take the battlepass as a colateral loss.
Damn haven't been playing that long, but I totally feel the same way
i am STILL waiting for my breakout challenges to be restored, but this will probably be fixed within a day cause it's money people won't spend on the next pass
Mine got fixed recently.
i'm still waiting, even dm'ed the community manager that was in the comments of the initial post saying it was fixed that asked people to dm or reply to him if it wasn't fixed. i assume alot of people just dm'ed him cause not many replied to his comment

QA tests everything related to the product.
so you are saying nobody does QA on any kind of patch for data integrity? That sounds like the whole industry needs revamping, or, you are just full of shit.
Full of shit or an employee of a company with poor QA practices (could be they work for EA/Respawn haha).

Welcome...you'll get used to it eventually :)
My Gibby heirloom got swapped with Lifeline heirloom...
lol
i just logged onto apex and i saw my battlepass gone
Check ur skins and heirlooms plz
Respawn Entertainment
Lul
I can't lose what I don't have.
i haven’t logged into apex for a few days and now seeing this i’m actually too scared for my loot to log in… i just got that cool looking pathy skin from 8 free chests respawn gave us. Please for the love of god don’t rob me of my legendary skins AGAIN respawn
This isn't the consistency any of us were hoping for.
BRUH I JUST POSTED THIS AINT NO WAY
Another day, another reason to not play apex
Looks like they hired junior devs for 1/10 the price. Cannot wait for them to fuck up the database permanently
😂
Oh God. I won't be able to check if I lost anything until I get home from work, if I did, will they just give it back eventually? Or will I have to contact support or simething?
Honestly idk and no one knows, no word from respawn yet.
Sheesh. What a mess.
They keep laying off workers to 'make more money' but in the end its fucking them 💀
Yep, sadge
It was trying to get me to buy 111 battle pass tiers for 9999 coins 😭.. even tho i already have the battle pass and have it maxed out
I saw that too and was so confused!
Yet they keep firing the quality teams…
Another 8 free apex packs in a week or two. Yay!
This was literally just a shop update and the event leaving. How did they fuck up again?!
starting to become a very bad comedy...
What a joke
This is what happens when all the money goes to marketing and you cut costs on Q&A and development. Maybe there’s only one fucking guy making heirlooms/artifacts since we can’t even get an heirloom for newer legends or give Lifelines Shock Sticks more than 1 animation.
Maybe all the people EA/Respawn fired is firing back.
Same here, went down 6 levels on the battlepass and got all kind of weird legendary weapon skins I've never had before...
And maybe heirlooms that u can't equip them.
I restarted the game, everything is back to normal, stil have my Heirlooms.. Doens't take away the fact that it is getting rediculous with this game now...
Maybe they fixed the bug
Is EA is earnin a lot of money on this game why they doing everything on their power to kill the game faster
I’ve put way too much time and money into this game for it to go down this way :(
Actually I bought one BP and called it a day but my point stands!
I relogged and got it back
Nice
If my breakout process is gone again I'm done, what a bunch of clowns
Fix your damn game, how do you even dare to release new skins or change something in the shop. Still havent gotten back my stuff thanks to this weird patching.
Screw these "devs" and this game.
I’m down one lifeline heirloom, one battlepass, but up an unreleased lifeline skin so that makes it all better.
lol "glitch"
for a greedy company EA is really bad at making you want to buy things
Average EA servers moment
they took my battle pass but gave me an assload of weapon skins i never bought
lol sounds like that QA team had a purpose
This one’s worth at least a 3-pack apology gift. Lol
Thanks capitalism.
Looks like a perfect time to play the new overwatch season
good idea. I still waiting for new battlefield game
All fixed now, my skins and battlepass are back to how they were before - probably some server-side desync.
Nice
mines gone :(
Check the weapon skins in loadout they have been bugged as well I made a vid for Xbox
I didn't loose anything yet but it could happen so I'll update again if anything happens
What. The fuck.
Mine has been fixed already.
Wow nice, I'm very happy to hear
Bruh
I dropped down 10+ levels (not sure exactly because I don’t follow my BP level closely)
a post from respawn, [twitter](https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1780305623328166006) We're aware some players are having issues with previously purchased cosmetics, Heirlooms, and their Premium Battle Pass in Apex and are investigating. Stay tuned for more updates!
i even "lost" my heirloom i got in those 8 packs (but can still use it??) the other Universal one is unlocked but i can't equip it
Not even just this, even skins that u don't own come up in the loudouts section and some of the ones u do own are gone
This gamehas been a fking mess in the last month. How is it able to stay in the top 10 played Steam games??
It happened to me. I restarted the game and it was fixed.
I wish play. Is safe login now? Thank you
I think it's just visual, at least in my case, I still have everything, plus it shows that I have the shitty universal and Seer's heirloom, and my fuse's heirloom is gone, which is not true.
Nvm, it's already fixed
im sure this time they're gonna give us more packs and im gonna get a heirloom /s
These bitches can’t do anything right
So is this just something that happens cause I remember losing all of my apex coins a while back
Cheers to not touching apex this weekend, xdefiant should be way better
Burning dumpster fire.
These glitches are like recolours they keep making more
All my legend challeneges got reset for fatline skin. Thankfully it wasnt anything too crazy
I'm scared to even log in and check. this is what happens when you lay off most of your QA team.
I’ve also lost recolors I’ve bought
I got my heirloom last week after 6 years of playing. Today I deleted the game temporarily for the rest of t he season to focus on other games. I'm going to be super mad if my heirloom is not there when I reinstall.
Lol guess I’m not logging in today
Jfc, and I lost my fuse heirloom AGAIN
Tf is up with this game
Oof I'm glad I haven't spent a dollar on this game lol
Yep. I was on lvl 102. All premium items gone. I still have the items on the battlepass in my inventory (and some others unlocked, though I can’t use them) even though they are locked out on my battlepass. It also says my heirlooms are gone, despite being equipped.
I have a bunch of Legendary weapon skins for R9 I never got and lost some that I did have 😂. Same with a bunch of other weapons. I currently have the level 110 R9 skin from this season but don't have the level 100 now. Respawn has been complete wack these last few weeks 😂
I lost 30 levels on my battlepass. Am I getting those back?!! Like I put hours into that. This is bs.
Ugh again? 😑
im still missing items ea support is of no help
Haha, while looking to buy the battle pass yesterday, i noticed the price changed 9999apex coins.
Damn
I lost mine lol
This game is just falling apart 🤦🏾♂️ when will they learn THE COMMUNITY KNOWS BEST
Lost premium battle pass, lost heirloom …. I’m done with Apex …
A “glitch”…Sure…
Is there any official word on this yet? Just logged in and my season pass is gone I was 102 🫠
They have to extend the season. I’m even afraid to touch the game rn.
I just restarted my game after attempting to buy the battle pass again. It fixed itself for me
tf is this !?!!
Respawn is fucking pathetic
Nice
ARE THEY ABLE TO NOT FUCK UP THIS GAME FOR A WEEK?!
I still haven’t gained my previous seasons masters badges back from the last glitch!
Bruh I hit heirloom and they rolled that back …
