BioWare has outlined Anthem’s upcoming new and improved loot system – and it sounds much better than what’s currently in the game.
It’s fair to say Anthem’s loot system is pretty bad. In fact it was one of the parts of the game heavily criticised when Anthem launched in February 2019.
“Gear skills are treated as loot, which means that your ability to experiment is dependent on drops, or that you sometimes have to choose between optimising your character and keeping a favoured playstyle – not a fun choice,” wrote Oli in Eurogamer’s Anthem review.
“Experimentation with your build, which ought to be one of the most fun and liberating aspects of the game, is severely discouraged by the fact that your suit’s loadout can only be changed in the hub word of Fort Tarsis and never out on the field of play.
