Apex Legends’<\/em> latest crossover is its biggest yet, pairing up the legends with weaponry and cosmetics inspired by Final Fantasy VII Rebirth<\/em> through a BR Takeover and its complimentary event store. The real draw though is the new Buster Sword R5 Heirloom\u2014Cloud Strife’s signature weapon.<\/p>
This Heirloom is unique in a variety of aspects. Not only is it the first with a design pulled from a different franchise, it’s also the first Mythic melee cosmetic which can be equipped by any legend, rather than being tied down to one in exclusivity. That’s a big deal for any player whose legend is yet to receive an Heirloom of their own, as well as those who simply think a huge broadsword suits their style better than their main’s current options.<\/p>
You will only have a limited time to get it though. The Buster Sword Heirloom will be available for the duration of the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth<\/em> crossover event, which begins on Jan. 9 and ends on Jan. 30, giving players just three weeks to grab it.<\/p>
