Here's What to Expect in Apex Legends x FF7: Rebirth Event

Is a New Heirloom Coming in the Apex Legends x FF7: Rebirth Event?
A new Heirloom could very well be coming in the Apex Legends x FF7: Rebirth event. The trailer shows Crypto wielding Cloud's Buster Sword, which could be featured as a recolored Heirloom for the Legend.
In the past, Apex Legends Heirlooms have been leaked before they release in-game, but there has been very little intel regarding the next one coming to the Battle Royale. Although most people assumed Newcastle or Mad Maggie would get the next Heirloom, it seems Crypto's Biwon Blade could get an upgrade first.
Even if it is not an Heirloom, the sword will have some role to play in the crossover event, especially after such a heavy emphasis in the initial trailer.
Stay tuned for more updates as the crossover approaches.
