In Anthem, there are limited-time events. Currently, the event “Beasts in the Field” is running. Hardly anyone notices it because the events are somewhat hidden.
What kind of event is this? Since yesterday (March 12), the event “Beasts in the Field” has been running in Anthem. The task is to defeat 100 predators. Predators include creatures like Korox. These are not aggressive herbivores. However, they scare easily and then attack mercilessly. Wolves would also be an option to complete the event.
What is the reward? You can earn 1000 coins for this event. This is the in-game currency of Anthem. Coins can be used to unlock cosmetic items.
Here is the event description from the game:
Events in Anthem are well hidden
In the MeinMMO editorial team, we noticed with delay that there is a new event in Anthem. We were not alone in this, as our community was also puzzling over what is currently happening in Anthem.
There is no notification for events: Most games place a prominent notification when an event is running. Similarly, many games have a detailed event planner. Anthem does have a roadmap, but it only vaguely indicates what to expect in the coming weeks and months.
Anthem could utilize its start screen to show when there are new events. The event “Giant Task” was already shown on the start screen. However, this does not seem to be the case for all events.
Where can I find the event? If you want to check for events, you need to go to the “Challenges” in the menu. Here you will find a sub-item “Combat”.
All challenges where you need to defeat opponents are listed there. Under “Combat”, the event “Beasts in the Field” is also listed.
If a task indicates a “remaining time”, it is a limited-time event.
How long is the event running? From today (March 13), you have two days left to complete “Beasts in the Field” and earn the additional 1000 coins.
How is the event received?
On Reddit, players expected more from the events. Killing 100 monsters for coins is seen here as lackluster for a special event.
The user Kaiarra makes a suggestion for what kind of events would give him a greater incentive to play:
- 5 x Harvest + 5 x Chest Spawns
- 5 x Masterful or Legendary Drops
- Named titans always drop a Masterful or Legendary item
- Bonus drops in Strongholds
- Additional coins for World Events
However, we do not know what kind of events are planned for the future. It is quite possible that more challenges will come that also bring special rewards of this kind.
