How to get Heirloom Shrads faster for free?

In Apex Legends players get Apex packs after reaching specific levels in-game. You need EXP to level up faster and get those Apex packs faster. This can lead you getting total 500 apex packs quicker and if you don’t get Heirloom shards after opening 499 packs then you will get 150 Heirloom shards in the 500th Apex Pack for sure.

Here are the ways to gain EXP faster:

• You get more EXP by surviving for longer in a match. However, you also get EXP for kills (each kill is worth about 17 seconds of survival) and dealing damage (1 EXP per 4 damage dealt). Since you can always queue up for another game, consider trying to get more damage and kills in a shorter time. Spending a lot of time without engaging in gunfights might count against you.
• Squads that earn any of the top 5 spots in the match receive a significant (300) EXP boost. Match winners will receive even more points.
• Killing the champion squad (revealed at the start of each match) or starting the game as one will give a static 500 EXP boost. Winning matches or ranking high significantly increases your odds of being the champion in the next match.
• Being the kill leader at any point in the game will give a small amount of EXP.
• Reviving and respawning allies also grant EXP (for each revive and respawn), although we wouldn’t recommend trying to abuse this EXP gain to get more shards. Downed players don’t contribute as much to a team, and being outnumbered for too long will greatly reduce your odds of reaching the top spots.
• Playing with friends will give you a 5% EXP gain for game time, per friend. More friends equal more EXP.
• The battle pass uses a star system to level up, and getting EXP will grant you stars over time. However, the battle pass quests will significantly speed up progression.
• Keep an eye out for daily quests. A set of five daily quests will give eight stars, which is 80% of a battle pass level. Daily quests alone can push you through 54% of the battle pass if you do them every day.
• Weekly quests won’t expire until the season ends, so you can stockpile them and complete them on a different week.
