Missions / Quests / Challenges

A comprehensive guide to all missions, quests, and challenges in Anthem. Learn how to complete critical objectives, agent quests, and Freeplay activities to progress through the game.

This guide provides an overview of Anthem's Quests, rather than a step-by-step walkthrough. Quests in Anthem are generally straightforward, involving objectives like reaching a location, defeating enemies, and eliminating leaders. Due to the online, cooperative nature of the game and the fast pace, consulting a detailed guide during a Quest is impractical. Instead, players are advised to follow their Quest Marker and engage any hostile targets. Completing these tasks over time will lead to finishing the game.

All current and completed Quests can be viewed in the 'Journal' tab of the menu. Many smaller objectives can be accomplished during Freeplay, allowing for solo progression through challenges. Freeplay also frequently presents various missions, such as dealing with scorpion nests or assisting NPCs. It is recommended to undertake these missions, especially when playing with friends.

Be aware that Freeplay Missions can spawn challenging enemies, including Titans. It is advisable to play cautiously, select engagements carefully, utilize high ground, and focus on fighting smaller groups of enemies at once.

BioWare plans to introduce more Javelins and missions in the future. This guide covers the main campaign and post-game content, with updates planned for new missions as they become available.
