The Issue with the New Heirlooms
Thordan Smash expresses his disappointment with the new heirlooms in Apex Legends. While he appreciates the concept of universal heirlooms with customizable options, he questions why regular heirlooms had to be removed. Many players, including Thordan Smash, were eagerly awaiting new heirlooms for specific characters like Mad Maggie Newcastle. The introduction of the universal heirlooms dampens the excitement and reduces the uniqueness associated with character-specific heirlooms.
Customization and Exotic Shards
Thordan Smash explores the customization options available for the new heirlooms. He showcases the different screens where players can customize the guitars and swap out parts. The customization is done using exotic shards, which can be purchased in packs of various quantities. Additionally, the season’s battle pass offers a chance to earn free artifact shards, enticing players to buy the base guitar. Thordan Smash suggests that using the artifact shards for Mythic weapon skins might be a better investment than buying the base heirloom.
Pathfinder Prestige Skin and Future Plans
Thordan Smash confirms the release of a Pathfinder Prestige skin in the current season but mentions the absence of any information regarding heirloom recolors. He expresses his desire for regular heirlooms to coexist with the universal ones, allowing other characters like Newcastle and ballistic Maggie to have their own unique heirlooms. Thordan Smash personally finds the guitar artifacts unappealing and lacking the special connection to the game and its characters that he values.
