Ways to Play Anthem
Find out how to choose and launch different experiences in the game.
RoryPlays takes you through the different kinds of gameplay experiences you can choose in Anthem.
Starting in Fort Tarsis, you’ll choose from four primary gameplay options, depending on how much time you have and what rewards you might be searching for:
- Missions – Story-based encounters where you’ll experience the core narrative of the game.
- Contracts – Help allies and factions to achieve their goals or solve specific problems. Occasionally you’ll receive a Legendary Contract which is both more difficult to complete and far more rewarding.
- Freeplay – Freely roam through the world of Anthem, encountering creatures, enemies, and more. You’ll encounter world events, be able to gather resources, find treasure, and explore.
- Strongholds – Epic events that will require a full squad to complete. This is where you’ll find the best loot, but also the most danger.
Next, prepare your javelin and suit up. Once you do, your currently available expeditions will appear on the main map; select which one you’d like to do and then the difficulty level. The difficulty levels are:
- Easy
- Normal
- Hard
- Grandmaster 1
- Grandmaster 2
- Grandmaster 3
If you’re still a relatively new Freelancer, you definitely want to choose a difficulty on par with your experience and gear level – Easy or Normal. However, as your javelin becomes more powerful, you’ll want to step up to Hard if you want to keep gaining ground.
Once you’ve made your choice, invite friends if you’d like, and when you’re ready choose “Launch Mission” to begin.
