A prominent dataminer, HYPERMYSTx, recently posted a leak on X, claiming the next universal heirloom arriving in Apex Legends will be an “Electric Whip”, usable by all Legends.
This follows previous universal heirloom releases like the Buster Sword and Cobalt Katar. The post includes a reference image teasing the design.
Design Overview: What the Electric Whip Looks Like
Based on the leak and early community speculation:
- The heirloom appears to take the form of a high-tech whip crackling with electric arcs and glowing energy
- Likely features segmented whip segments and vibrant neon-blue pulses along a black or metallic core
- Potentially incorporates animated electric sparks during inspect and attack animations, similar to Caustic’s Death Hammer aesthetic
- Looks like a futuristic spin on melee elegance, suggesting both flair and dramatic visual feedback with every strike
Community Reactions & Discussion
On Reddit, players have already connected the whip to previous leaks:
“The power sword they linked it with Newcastle and the bat they link it with Mad Maggie so might mean it’s their heirlooms just universal.”
While little else is confirmed, fans are buzzing with excitement, some hoping for dynamic lighting effects and sync with electric Legends like Wattson or Newcastle.
What This Means in the Apex Timeline
You can buy universal heirlooms from the Mythic Heirloom Shop for 150 shards once they debut during big Collection Events. Players may be able to acquire the Electric Whip through collection progression or shard purchase, as it is expected to be part of the next big event cycle.
The Universal style gives it maximum flexibility: any Legend can equip it, adding collectible value and cosmetic variety across the entire roster.
The Electric Whip stands out for its movement-focused design, suggesting flashy animations that play well in inspection sequences and melee kills.
According to HYPERMYSTx’s Electric Whip leak, an aesthetically dynamic artifact with strong electric sci-fi undertones is in the works. As with previous high-impact, flexible mythic cosmetics from Respawn, this one offers universal accessibility, meaning it may be used on any Legend.
While not yet confirmed, rumor mills and teases point to it being a likely part of the next Apex Collection Event. In the coming weeks, players should keep an eye on Respawn or developer blogs for confirmation.
