Guide for All Trophies and Achievements

In the following section, you will find all trophies categorized. We have provided a brief description of what you have to do to unlock them and what reward (trophy/Gamerscore) you get for it.

Bug Note: Some trophies from NPCs can sometimes be bugged and may not appear for you. Some users have already reported these bugs on Reddit. Weapon-specific achievements can also be affected. The developers have not yet published a response to these error reports.

To prevent these bugs, you should try to complete the respective quest or expedition without connection or system interruptions. System crashes can, in rare cases, lead to a missing achievement.

Story Mission Achievements

The following achievements are obtained automatically as you play through the campaign.

These are the Story Achievements:

Throughout the campaign, you must choose between the Arcanist Matthias and Sentinel Brin. Depending on your choice, you will complete either the mission “Triple Threat” or “A Royal Favor.” You can complete the remaining mission after finishing the campaign. This will have unlocked all Story Achievements.

Faction Achievements

In Anthem, there are three factions: The Freelancers, the Sentinels, and the Arcanists. Each has an associated NPC with whom you can complete missions and quests.

These quests give you reputation points, with which you can rise in loyalty tier. However, you can also collect related collectibles during free play and have conversations with specific NPCs in Fort Tarsis. Both give you small point bonuses for the respective faction.

These are the Faction Achievements:

To unlock these achievements, you simply need to complete all side quests for each of the three factions. Once you’ve completed them all, you should reach loyalty level 3 with all of them. This will unlock the achievement and also the important Legendary Quests.

If you still have insufficient loyalty, you can also farm fortresses. Each of the three fortresses provides extra points to a specific faction upon successful completion.

These bonuses are available at the Strongholds:

• Mine of the Tyrant: +200 Arcanist Loyalty
• Temple of the Scar: +200 Sentinel Loyalty
• Heart of Rage: +200 Freelancer Loyalty

Challenge Achievements

The following achievements are laid out for challenges. You can check what they are and how far along you are at any time in the game in your Cortex.

For the challenges, there are different categories for almost every item in Anthem, including weapons, abilities, and collectibles. For the achievements, you usually need to defeat a specific number of enemies using the respective weapon or ability.

These are the achievements for challenges:

Here are some tips for you on how to unlock these achievements quickly.

Here’s how to easily get the weapon achievements:

For each weapon class in Anthem, there are three representatives. If you collect all three Assault Rifles found in the game, you can get 50 kills with each of them and you’ll have completed the three challenges and earned the Assault Rifle trophy. The same applies to all other weapon classes.

Efficiently complete Javelin challenges:

For these achievements, you need to complete four World Events with a specific ability to finish the respective challenge. You can equip three abilities per Javelin. Thus, after completing four World Events, you can switch your entire gear and repeat the process to complete the 12 challenges needed for the trophies in just a few free play sessions.

Our guide to World Events shows you where you can find these events.

Rarity Achievements

These achievements focus on the rarity tier of your Javelin. This is dependent on your power level, i.e., your equipment. You can see what rarity your Javelin currently possesses in the Forge at the upper right corner of the screen.

Here you can find out what impact your pilot level has on loot and everything else.

The following rarity tiers exist in Anthem:

• Common (white)
• Uncommon (green)
• Rare (blue)
• Epic (purple)
• Masterwork (orange)
• Legendary (yellow)

These are the Rarity Achievements:

If the overall level of your Javelin matches the required rarity tier, you simply need to successfully complete any expedition with it and the trophy will be yours. It doesn’t matter whether you complete a mission, a contract, or a stronghold.

Explorer Achievements

How to unlock these achievements?

The following achievements consist of hidden places and locations that you can find in free play. The achievements are divided into specific regions that you need to scour from top to bottom to receive the corresponding trophy.

These are the things you can find:

• 63 districts
• 30 landmarks
• 9 hidden places

These are the Explorer Achievements:

How to find all districts, landmarks, and hidden places:

This video will take you to a playlist by the YouTuber “PowerPyx.” In this playlist, he shows you all the locations you need for the achievements. The videos are divided by the corresponding regions and are only a few minutes long.

Collector Achievement

This category has only one achievement. However, it is the most time-consuming of all.

For the achievement “Turned Over Every Stone,” you need to find all collectibles in the game. You can view how many you have collected in the Cortex under Challenges / Exploration / Bastion Collectibles.

These are the collectibles available:

• 4 Tombs of the Legionnaires
• 10 Outposts
• 25 Arcanist Archives
• 25 Sentinel Archives
• 25 Dominion Data
• 25 Skar Data
• 25 Outlaw Backgrounds
• 80 Runes
• 80 Mederine Documents

Additionally, you must find all the previously mentioned locations from the explorer achievements. In total, you must locate over 400 collectibles in the game for this achievement.

Here’s how to find the 4 Tombs of the Legionnaires.

Farming collectibles instead of finding them:

Anthem allows you to pick up archive and data collectibles multiple times. For these, you don’t necessarily have to find all 25 different objects; you can pick up the same ones repeatedly until you reach 25. In free play, these collectibles respawn after you die. This way, you can target your progress with different farming routes or keep dying after you pick up an object.

If you’re looking for farming routes, the YouTuber “Gage Rolls” has the right videos for you.

Farming route for Skar, Outlaw, Arcanist, and Sentinel collectibles:

Farming route for Dominion collectibles:

This is what you need to know about Runes and Documents:

The 80 Runes and the 80 Mederine Documents will be shown to you in the Cortex in three stages. For the first challenge stage, you need to find 10 collectibles each; then it increases to 20 and finally to 50. In total, you need to find 80 collectibles each to unlock the achievement “Turned Over Every Stone.”

This is how you find the Runes:

These collectibles are generally easy to find. As you play through the game, if you collect all the ones you see, you should have a decent amount of them by the time you hit max pilot level.

Tip: Once you’ve collected around 50, you can also create a new pilot and start over. The documents and runes appear separately for each character, but only after you have completed the associated missions from Matthias.

Pay attention to the color of the runes. Some are yellow, while others are green. Only the yellow ones increase your progress; you can farm these with your new pilot. If a rune doesn’t give additional progress, it’s a green rune.

This is how you find the documents:

These collectibles are found in abundance on the walls of Fort Tarsis, in the area where you start your expedition in Freeplay. It’s also advisable to create a new pilot and collect the documents around Fort Tarsis again if you want to get the achievement as quickly as possible.

Grandmaster Achievement

You can only unlock this achievement by completing all the above achievements. PS4 players will be rewarded with a Platinum Trophy for this.

This is the ultimate achievement:

In Anthem, there are three factions where you can increase your reputation through various actions. This way, you will rise in loyalty with the factions and unlock the challenge Champion of Tarsis.

These are the three factions: In Anthem, you will encounter the different factions early on. During the campaign, you will complete quests for the Freelancers, Sentinels, or Arcanists. Some of the tasks even belong to the “Critical Path”, the story of Anthem.

The contacts for each faction are:

• Matthias for the Arcanists
• Brin for the Sentinels
• Yarrow for the Freelancers

This is how leveling works: In addition to the main quests, you will repeatedly receive tasks from the three factions that provide various rewards and increase your loyalty level with them.

The factions each have three levels, granting you various bonuses. If you manage to raise all three factions to loyalty level 3, you unlock the challenge Champion of Tarsis.

• Loyalty level 1 requires 500 points
• Loyalty level 2 requires 1500 points
• Loyalty level 3 requires 3000 points

Once you have completed the Anthem campaign, reached Level 30 with your Pilot, and completed enough missions for the factions, you will unlock Legendary Contracts. These are part of the endgame and offer a higher chance for powerful gear.

These are the rewards: The factions reward you with various blueprints and cosmetic materials for the appearance of your Javelin as you level up.

• The Arcanists provide blueprints for consumables and cosmetic metals for your Javelin
• The Sentinels provide blueprints for components and cosmetic metals for your Javelin
• The Freelancers provide blueprints for universal components and various loadouts for your Javelin

The rewards you receive for the respective levels, or have already received, can be viewed in the game menu under “Challenges” and “Factions”.

Unlock Champion of Tarsis

This is the challenge: If you manage to accumulate 3000 loyalty points for each faction and therefore raise the groups to level 3, you unlock the challenge “Champion of Tarsis”.

To complete this challenge, you need to reach 50,000 reputation for each faction. In total, you have to earn 150,000 loyalty points.

As a reward, you will receive several blueprints in Masterwork quality, the cosmetic metal Gold for your Javelin, and 2000 coins for the Anthem cash shop.

These activities earn you loyalty

In Anthem, you can perform various actions that earn you loyalty points with the three factions. Alongside quests and tasks, these are activities you can complete while playing.

Missions and Quests

Completing quests or missions for a faction greatly increases your standing with them. Some quests are already available to you during the campaign.

You can also accept quests from the respective contacts. This will lead you through the storylines of the individual factions, which are necessary to unlock legendary contracts.

Legendary contracts give you the chance for higher-quality loot and additional reputation for the factions in the endgame.

Actions in Freeplay

As you complete various activities in Anthem’s Freeplay, you can also increase your standing with the factions.

• By completing World Events, you can level all factions
• Exploring hidden areas increases your standing with the Freelancers
• Gathering Crafting materials increases your standing with the Sentinels
• Collecting notes and collectibles and opening chests increases your standing with the Arcanists

Talk to the NPCs in Fort Tarsis
