How to Get the Wraith Prestige Skin in Apex Legends

Apex Legends’ Heirlooms and Prestige Skins are among the rarest items in the game with a 0.002% drop chance in Apex Packs for 150 Heirloom Shards. You have to get incredibly lucky, open 500 Apex packs or you can opt to purchase all the cosmetics in any Collection event to get a specific Heirloom or Prestige Skin. These Collection events can put a dent in your wallet with all cosmetics costing players roughly $180 to get the event cosmetic. Wraith is getting her own Prestige skin in Apex Legends Season 15 and here’s how you can unlock it. 

Obtaining Wraith’s Prestige Skin from Season 15’s Collection Event

There are two ways to get the Wraith’s Prestige Skin in Apex Legends, which is set to come out later this month. Here are some numbers that will help you save money on your purchase.

• Cost of 24 Apex Event Packs (guaranteed Prestige Skin): 16800 Apex Coins

• Cost of two special bundles: 7500 Apex Coins

• Apex Coins + Price of 12 Bundles: 15900 Apex Coins

• EA Play Subscription: 10% Discount on Apex Coins

For each Epic or Legendary item you craft using crafting materials, you will have to purchase one less event pack.

The cheapest way to get the bundle is to craft as many Epic items as possible and then purchase the remaining packs depending on how many items you need. The special bundles include one skin each and cost a total of 7500 Apex coins which lets you save a total of 900 Apex Coins. Getting an EA Play subscription will allow you to get a 10% discount on your coin purchases which can significantly bring down the cost of getting the Prestige Skin.

You can also theoretically obtain an Heirloom for free if you have sufficient crafting materials to craft every single item available in a Collections event but a vast majority of the playerbase will not have access to that many materials.

Using Heirloom Shards to Craft Wraith’s Prestige Skin

You can get 150 Heirloom Shards through random drops from Apex Packs and you are guaranteed to get 150 Heirloom Shards upon opening 500 packs. Event packs and special packs do not count towards the progress of the pity timer on the standard Apex packs.

11,500 Apex coins cost $99 (more, if local taxes apply), and getting 500 Apex packs would set you back by nearly $500. This is currently the only consistent way of getting Heirloom Shards and also the most expensive. With the level cap being raised to 2000, it is technically possible to open 500 packs for free but it takes a lot of time or a lucky drop to have the shards necessary to purchase Wraith’s Prestige skin on day one.
