The latest update addresses a handful of issues, but still does not handle the overall loot drop rate
Anthem’s 1.0.4.02 update went out earlier today. The goal of the update was to address the Javelin component drop rates, which many players in the game were not using as they were after different prizes. With those lowered, hopefully, players start to see additional, more useful, drops.
Additionally, Ursix and Titans were not spawning as often during Freeplay mode, meaning players had to go out of their way to fight these legendary creatures. To add on to that, Titans, Ursix, Luminaries, and Fury foes were despawning if another player in the same Freeplay mode started an event, unrelated to the player engaging one of these enemies. This error should no longer occur.
The final, big issue the 1.0.4.02 update addressed were the Elysian Caches not showing up after players finished a Stronghold event. Elysian Caches contain vanity items, commonly known as cosmetics, such as emotes and materials for players to modify their javelin’s appearance. The loot from these chests should now immediately show up.
There a bunch of other, small, bug fixes included in this patch. We have the full details, below.
