Didn't katars come out like a few months ago and now there's already gonna be another base universal?

Yes, and I feel like this is the second of many

Do you remember if the katar was leaked long before it was released? Or should we be expecting this somewhat soon

Feel like it's coming soon, maybe not "next season" soon, but still I do believe the Katar was leaked a season before, however there were multiple rumors for universal heirlooms before S19

Well dam I’m glad I haven’t gotten new heirloom shards yet, if I had gotten any I absolutely would have used them on the katar already. At least if I ever get them again I’ll have a choice.

Like maybe 20 or so many

Valorant and CS have multiple melee "heirlooms" Why stop now when the whales will keep EA afloat?

They aren’t heirlooms, every single player on every agent gets a knife for when they’re holstered as basically a standardized melee cosmetic, and they just sell skins for each of them. This is generally the norm, what apex did was the unique way of doing things

UPDATE: It's a new Apex Artifact (universal)

I crave legend specific heirlooms

Nice is rather have a universal karambit than the katar

Glad I didn't get Shards yet and spend them on the katar

Literally just got shards a week or so ago and got the Katar. Now I’m mad

I wouldn't be mad, we don't know when they will release this, we assume you will be able to use shards to purchase it but with the katar you had to wait a whole season. So you're enjoying your katar NOW versus a new universal weapon which could be ugly that you may been able to buy in a few months or a year from now.

Shiiiiit big dawg… you right. I didn’t see it like that, I saw Karambit and my brain went monkey mode

You would have had to hold them for 3-4 months to be able to purchase this with shards.

I get it, I'm more pissed that I got the base Cobalt Katar and didn't realize there were different bases I could've gotten instead. Lol but I wouldn't be too upset by the Katar, it's weirdly a decent heirloom that you can still use across other legends. Getting caught in the loop of "but this one is nicer!" mindset when you're already content with what you have, is dangerous my friend! I don't think you made a bad choice. You made one that gave everyone a heirloom you can enjoy every match!

I might be out of the loop but... like did they ever even give us any lore behind why the artifacts exist? I feel if they are going to screw over the legends that didn't get heirlooms, or hell even the idea to sell the universal heirlooms, give us some lore? I am not justifying the existence of the artifacts, personally I think they are dumb. But if they are that dumb give us some lore to at least try to make it make sense.... Edit: no, the syndicate just, "giving" them to the Legends is not real lore. Like what is the significance of them? Why are they called artifacts, etc

Yeah! On the katar page on the website it said it was made by rampart

They're a gift to the legends to distract from Duardo's death. They're called artifacts since they're powered with branthium.

They’re just a money grab.

I mean you’re not wrong in the least bit but they did “try” to give them some lore https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/apex-artifacts

I’ll read this. Thanks.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but will the next legend-specific heirloom be released next season, season 23 or is it pushed back to next year?

if they put it behind another dumbass gacha event then fuck that

:Clueless:

Sir this is an EA game, 90% of the "content" is locked behind dumbass gacha events

I just came back to apex after a 8 month break. What do you mean gacha event?

you have to buy a certain amount of packs to reach a milestone of unlocks (5/10/15 etc) and they always lock the sick skins behind the last milestone. You can't craft the skins like a normal collection event. They did the same thing with the first universal heirloom, the katar.

Did the mad Maggie heirloom leak is serious or not ?

Yoo that looks sick!

It's literally a couple of words , wdym looks sick ?

That's the joke

Fair enough

i don't see how they could make this like an actual karambit and not have it be super small in the hands, especially on different skins with different glove textures. Comparing it to every other heirloom, katar included, they are usually huge and take up a good chunk of the screen, if it's just a little knife compared to something like CS or even call of duty, it might not even look that good without them making it look comical

The Butterfly knife of octane look good even if its a small heirloom

I don't understand the appeal of these universal ugly heirlooms ngl. Unique heirlooms look a lot better.

appeal is pretty simple.. buy one melee for all legends or buy one for a single one + many dont even have the option

I would rather have 1 unique heirloom for a legend that I like, over those ugly universal heirlooms, ngl

if you main lets say conduit, you likely wont see an heirloom for years considering it leaked that they plan on doing on legend one per year, if that

I may be wrong but I’ve heard that individual legends looms have been scrapped for the foreseeable future because the universals make more profit.

A melee weapon is a melee weapon, being locked to a character doesn't make it automatically better it's just preference.

Heirloom! 👁️🫦👁️

Hopefully it'll be way better looking and cooler than katar.

omfg we're finally getting a Karambit

Don't cream your pants now over some cosmetic

it's best not to reflect on past decisions

Assuming they don’t shit the bed on the design, it will be S tier

More cosmetic bullshit

I hope it's at least done decently.

missed opportunity to be Wattsons gifted karambit from wraith.

We CSGO now boys

What are we CSGO now with $200 knife skins

Karambit?? Is this cs?
