Many players in Anthem have reached the endgame and are chasing masterwork and legendary items. A player now claims to have discovered the magic formula for item drops: It’s the enemies!
What’s so great about 44 legendaries? On the Anthem Subreddit, the player moosee999 states that he has received 44 legendary items in 50 hours. That’s quite something, as Reddit often features reports from freelancers who, after over 100 hours in Anthem, have yet to see a single legendary item.
In moosee999’s opinion, he has so many powerful items because he has figured out that the drop rate in Freeplay heavily relies on the enemies you are fighting.
This is what the player claims to have discovered: According to the player, the different enemies are divided into different classes: foes associated with a task, event, or quest, and enemies that can simply be encountered in Freeplay. An exception here are Titans, Ursix, Enlightened, and Fury, which seem to have their own loot pool.
Enemies that are tied to a task or event supposedly have a lower chance of dropping a legendary item. Players might only hope for the reward chest that appears upon completion of the activity.
Random enemies are said to have a higher chance of dropping legendary gear, as they are not bound to events or loot chests.

How did the player test this? The player went to the Eidolon tree in Freeplay and fought with the two Scar camps there. If all enemies are defeated, elite enemies appear. If all elite enemies are killed, a Brute appears, which always drops loot.
Next, he went to the Stronghold Tyranny Mine and claims that the Brutes in that stronghold only occasionally have loot. In his opinion, this is because the enemies there are part of the Echo tasks, which are rewarded with a chest at the end.
The freelancer claims to have spent 80 percent of the time on difficulty level GM1.
This is what the player recommends: moosee999 states that all his 44 legendaries come from random enemies in Freeplay or the four super enemies Titans, Ursix, Enlightened, and Fury. Allegedly, none of his items came from enemies from World Events or task-related enemies in strongholds. However, he has already pulled legendary items from reward chests.
Most of his items were obtained through the various enemy camps in the open world. But also the mini-dungeons in Freeplay, known as “Hidden Places,” should be quite fruitful according to him. Players should look out for elite enemies as well as legendary creatures.
Here’s another efficient method to obtain masterwork and legendary items:
