Apex Pack Probability
Apex Packs in Apex Legends contain a randomized assortment of cosmetic items, with specific probabilities governing the rarity of each drop. Understanding these probabilities can help players set expectations for what they might receive from opening packs. The game ensures a fair distribution through a pity system for rarer items.
Each Apex Pack contains three items. The chance of receiving a Common item is high, while the chances for Rare, Epic, and Legendary items decrease accordingly. Importantly, Apex Legends guarantees that players will receive at least one Epic item within every 30 Apex Packs opened. This ensures that even with unlucky rolls, players will eventually obtain higher-tier rewards.
- Common: Highest drop rate.
- Rare: Moderate drop rate.
- Epic: Guaranteed within 30 packs.
- Legendary: Lower drop rate.
- Heirloom Shards: Extremely rare, guaranteed within 500 packs.
The most coveted items are Heirloom Sets, which include a unique melee weapon and associated animations. While the chance of finding Heirloom Shards in a pack is very low, players are guaranteed to receive them within 500 Apex Packs. These shards can then be used to craft any Heirloom set of their choice from the Legend's tab in the Apex Legends store.
The probability of obtaining specific items is designed to encourage engagement and reward consistent play. While luck plays a role, the pity system ensures a baseline of valuable rewards over time. You can track their progress towards guaranteed Epic and Heirloom drops within the game's interface.
