Anthem Patch 1.6.2 Extends Freeplay Events, Challenges, and More

New Anthem patch detailed

By Grayshadow, Posted 22 Jan 2020

Anthem has been struggling since launch. Despite strong sales the live service title quickly lost its player base to more popular live service titles like Monster Hunter World and No Man's Sky. However, a new patch is available for those still venturing into the world of Anthem. Adding new fixes and extending its seasonal store.

The patch is detailed below.

New Features

Icetide Season (Freeplay events, Weekly Strongholds, Challenges, Seasons Store) has been extended to run through February.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

Reduced the wait time to start Time Trial races from 60 seconds to 20 seconds.

Tyrant Mine should now be available in the seasonal Icetide challenge rotation.

This was supposed to be in with Icetide, however there was an issue that emerged in testing. We didn’t feel comfortable releasing Tyrant Mine until we could fully resolve this issue.

Fixed an issue where seasonal wreaths were playing their collection sound effect when they spawned into the world incorrectly.

Weekly Stronghold challenge completion credit is now correctly tracking based on completed strongholds and not how many players are in the session at the time of completion.

The “Soldier’s Reward” inversion is now correctly using its own icon as intended.

Fixed an issue that was preventing the electric orbs from correctly spawning in the arachnid defense annex in the Tyrant Mine.

Resolved a problem with the Daily: Contracts challenge where the amount of minor crystal rewarded was incorrect. Challenge will now correctly grant 500 crystals.

We’ve raised the First Fog wall in the Heart of Rage to prevent gaining score multiplier earlier than intended.

Resolved issues with the Frost Master challenge not properly displaying whether or not Left Out In The Cold had been completed.

Resolved issues with Collection: Left Out In The Cold being blocked by an issue with some wreaths. For those who are unable to interact with any more wreaths but the challenge has not been completed, entering freeplay will automatically complete the challenge.

Resolved an issue with the Time Trials not tracking progress towards challenges.

Resolved issue where players were unable to access the Seasonal Store from the Launch Bay.

BioWare has put much of Anthem's content on hold and is focusing on stabilizing the game's experience. And hoping to pull a No Man's Sky or Star Wars Battlefront 2 by altering the game's experience over time. But for now, Anthem lives among the forgotten titles of 2019.

Anthem is now available for PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
