A new bug causes certain enemies in Anthem to no longer drop loot. The most popular farming spot among players is particularly affected.
Here’s what it’s about: BioWare released a new update for Anthem on May 7. Patch 1.1.1 or 1.11 on PlayStation 4 brought some improvements and removed the Elysian Chests. These cosmetic chests were only added to Anthem at the end of March.
However, after the update, some players reported that certain special enemies no longer dropped loot. This reportedly concerns the so-called Apex creatures, which received a loot patch some time ago to ensure they reward players particularly well.
The most affected by this problem is likely the most popular farming spot for players, the Stronghold “The Heart of Rage.” This Stronghold has a particularly high density of Apex creatures and is therefore frequently visited by Freelancers.
This is the problem: Quickly, Anthem’s Community Manager, Jesse Anderson, spoke up and confirmed that this is indeed a bug. While players stated that they particularly missed their well-deserved loot from the Titan in the Heart of Rage, Anderson indicated that the problem is occurring with other Apex creatures as well.
BioWare is currently testing possibilities for a fix. As soon as the tests are successfully completed, the Anthem team will release a patch to address the issue.
What are the players saying? In the Anthem subreddit, players are questioning how such bugs keep slipping through and making it into the game with updates. Other Freelancers are mocking the situation, suggesting that players can no longer complain about loot when they are not receiving any.
On Twitter, user Zurilia suggests to players complaining about missing loot from the Titans to simply play a different activity. It is sad that players think only the Heart of Rage is the way to go.
Finally, some players claimed that Anthem has no problems with a lack of players. However, those that are still active are only playing Heart of Rage:
