Mad Maggie Breaks Apex Legends Record for Longest Heirloom Wait Yet

In the world of Apex Legends, cosmetics play a huge role, especially heirlooms, which are highly sought after for their connection to each legend’s lore. Yet, while other legends are constantly receiving new skins and updates, record that no legend wants to hold—the longest wait for an heirloom in Apex Legends history. As of now, it’s been over 960 days since Mad Maggie was introduced back in Season 12, and fans are growing increasingly frustrated.

For those new to the concept, heirlooms in Apex Legends are special melee weapons that represent a character’s backstory and personality. Unlike character skins or weapon skins, heirlooms are rare and usually released once per season, which makes the wait for one a big deal for fans of certain legends. Unfortunately for Mad Maggie mains, the wait has been longer than expected.

Before Maggie took the top spot, Fuse and Horizon had held the record, both waiting just under 960 days for their heirlooms. While there’s plenty of excitement for each new season and the boost in content it brings, Maggie fans are starting to feel neglected. One player even commented,

“I’ve been holding Heirloom coins for a year. Waiting. It’s never gonna happen.”

Others are quick to point out that Maggie doesn’t get a lot of attention when it comes to cosmetics in general. Compared to other legends, she has “barely” received any new skins, which might be part of the reason for the delay. Some fans have suggested that if she does get an heirloom, it should be something visible while using shotguns, as her Warlord’s Ire ability gives players a speed boost when wielding a shotgun. After all, Maggie’s playstyle heavily revolves around shotguns, so tying her heirloom to that would make sense.

However, some players are skeptical about whether an heirloom would even make a difference for Maggie. One fan commented that not using a shotgun with Maggie feels like “nerfing yourself,” implying that an heirloom does not replace the stat-boosting patch this character needs.

It remains to be seen how Respawn will handle the situation. Will Mad Maggie finally get an heirloom that matches her intense and aggressive playstyle? Or will the wait continue, leaving fans in suspense?

While heirlooms are a key part of Apex Legends' ongoing content and a major boost for character customization, it’s clear that not all legends are treated equally when it comes to their release schedule. For Mad Maggie mains, the wait for an heirloom has become a frustrating reality, but there’s still hope that Respawn will surprise everyone with something exciting. Whether it’s a weapon that ties into her shotgun-focused playstyle or something completely unexpected, fans are eager for an update. For now, all we can do is keep an eye on the horizon for the next big reveal.
