The recent launch of Apex Legends Season 15: Eclipse has introduced some new features to the game, including stickers, a UI overhaul, and the ability to send gifts to your friends. But when so many new game mechanics are implemented at the same time, bugs are bound to pop up here and there. Most are irritating at best and game-breaking at worst, but every once in a while, a truly unique one appears, like the newly reported bug that unlocks Heirloom Weapons free of charge.

According to a recent thread in the official Apex Legends subreddit, some players have found themselves in possession of an Heirloom Weapon they do not yet own. The bug appears to be related to an issue that causes the game to lag when calculating a player's in-game currencies upon first logging in. These currencies include Apex Coins, Legend Tokens, Crafting Metals, and Heirloom Shards, which are used to purchase the coveted cosmetic weapons. Based on footage of the bug in action, it appears that this glitch applies to both Heirloom Weapons and Prestige Skins.

In the comments section of the Reddit post, the author of the post asked other players how exactly they'd managed to unlock Bloodhound's Heirloom without actually buying it.
