The latest patch for Anthem introduced a major issue: Apex creatures, which should provide better loot, suddenly dropped no loot at all. BioWare has now deployed a server-side fix, so the Titan in the Heart of Rage drops loot again.
Here was the problem: Patch 1.1.1 (or 1.11 on PlayStation 4) introduced an annoying bug to Anthem: Apex creatures dropped no loot. In Anthem, Apex creatures include Legendary Titans, Epic Titans, Legendary Wraiths, Legendary Acid Ursix, and Legendary Enlightened Elders.
Apex creatures have always had a special loot pool with better rewards. Moreover, these enemies received a loot patch that increased their drop rates for Masterwork and Legendary items some time ago.
The latest bug particularly affected the Stronghold Heart of Rage. There, the concentration of Apex creatures is high, which has made the Stronghold a popular farming spot.
This is what the fix does: Over Twitter, Anthem’s Community Manager, Jesse Anderson, informed fans that the developers have released a hotfix. This is server-side, so players do not need to download a patch.
Anderson stated that the Titan in the Heart of Rage drops loot again after the hotfix.
What about the other creatures? It is still not known whether the fix will also affect the other Apex creatures. There is no official statement regarding the other enemies affected by the bug.
There is currently still confusion among the players. In the Anthem subreddit, some players report that the Titan in the Heart of Rage drops loot again, but the other creatures still do not drop any loot. However, other Freelancers write that affected enemies, such as Wraiths or Ursix, are dropping loot again after the patch.
The developers are currently working on content related to Cataclysm:
