Once again, there are news about Anthem, the upcoming online shooter from BioWare. How does one get rid of weapons? Is there Friendly Fire? BioWare provided answers.
Via Twitter, Mike Darrah, Executive Producer at BioWare, answered some questions about Anthem. We summarize all the important points for you.
BioWare talks about Special Attacks and Servers
No Info on the Story: Among the news were details about the special attacks of the suits, the crafting of items, and possible server locations.
If you were looking forward to news about the main story of Anthem, we unfortunately have to disappoint you. Recently, there was an insight into the separation of story and open world.
About Friendly Fire, Ammunition, and Javelins
No Friendly Fire: According to Darrah, there will likely be no Friendly Fire. However, he believes that teammates can still block your bullets.
Ammunition and Cooldowns: Your weapons will consume ammunition, and certain gear will have cooldowns.
Super Attacks depend on the respective Javelin: The choice of your Javelin has a significant impact. The type of super attack your suit has is determined by the different suit types.
They are fixed and cannot be changed. At least not at launch.
Element Type depends on your Gear: Which element you want to use can be determined by your gear. Darrah did not reveal the specifics.
More information:
- Players will not be able to craft and harvest items.
- The location of the servers is still unknown. One of the possible locations could be Australia.
More info at PAX West: More about Anthem will likely be shown at PAX West. This event runs from August 31 to September 3.
