BioWare’s online game Anthem is revamping the Regulator Shop. You can now purchase even legendary items with coins.
What kind of shop is this? The Regulator Shop has been around in Anthem for a long time. The problem is that it hasn’t been used much until now. It sold crafting materials, which are mainly interesting for low-level players. However, from level 30 onwards, you basically don’t need that anymore.
Moreover, the materials and items in the shop have been very expensive, making it less attractive to shop there.
Legendary items in the shop
How has the shop changed now? It is now possible to buy weapons and equipment for your Javelin in the Regulator Shop – including even legendary items – for coins.
This makes shopping easier for you. You no longer have to travel to the tombs of the Legionnaires to craft legendary items from the materials. You can simply and conveniently purchase the items for coins in the shop.
How are players reacting to this? Since you earn coins through gameplay and it’s not a premium currency, the new Regulator Shop is quite well received by the Anthem fans. Of course, the question arises whether it shouldn’t be better to earn the legendaries in Anthem instead.
However, many high-level players have accumulated a lot of coins, especially since there was no good reason to spend them. The Regulator Shop now offers a good opportunity to finally get rid of these coins.
- CascadeHush writes on Reddit: “So far, there are only 5 items available, but if you like what’s for sale now, you can make a good deal. However, I would set a budget of 10,000 coins and wait until level 30 if I want to spend more.”
- xJVIayhem explains on Reddit: “My only concern now is: Will we get more sources for coins?”
- tw0thre3 writes on Reddit: “I love this new feature that gives us more variety in obtaining our legendary drops. I already spent 6k coins today!”
What questions remain? The shop is well received and players are spending their collected coins. Now some are wondering whether there will be more ways to get coins in the future. Furthermore, it is unclear how often the shop will be stocked with new items. But that will surely be clarified soon.
- Although Anthem did not start particularly successfully, it is too big to fail for EA, which is why it will not be discontinued.
- A sort of Anthem 2.0 is planned for the future, which brings six major changes.
