Special door animation found for Ash Heirloom in Apex Legends

As showcased by Apex Legends YouTuber Bobz, Ash’s Strongest Link Heirloom has a special door-break melee attack.

Instead of swinging her Heirloom, the Incisive Instigator pulls the sword from her back that she uses to create her Ultimate, and slashes downwards to break the structure.

It’s worth noting that this interaction will not appear anytime you melee a door, so it may take you a while to get it to trigger.

While this may seem like a relatively minor discovery, it’s these hidden details that make the Heirlooms so special and sought after.

Remember, if you want to get your hands on Ash’s Strongest Link then you need to collect all 24 items in the Sun Squad Collection Event.

Otherwise, you’ll just have to open packs until you receive 150 Heirlooms shards, which are guaranteed on your 500th pack.

Respawn has certainly raised the bar once again for Heirlooms, so it’ll be interesting to see who gets the next mythic-tier item.
