Welcome to the Anthem Trophy Guide! The trophy list is fairly straightforward. You must complete all missions in the game, do all Tier I weapon challenges (27 Weapons) and Tier I Gear challenges (4 Character Classes). You must also reach Masterwork status with your Javelin which is for getting good endgame gear. Other than that there are 300 Collectibles required for a gold trophy so be prepared to collect a lot. Below is an overview of what you can expect and how long each step will take:
- All story-related mission trophies & Rank 30 = 20 hours (depending on difficulty).
- All Weapon Challenges = 0 hours when combined with main missions, 3-4 hours when farming it in open world (can also be combined with farming for Mastercrafted Gear). There are 27 Weapons, you need to do 50 kills with each weapon = 1350 kills total.
- All Gear Challenges = 5-10 hours. There are 4 classes, each has 12 gear challenges which require at least 20 mission playthroughs per class. Try to finish at least 1 class during the main story. You can grind out the rest on easy difficulty missions or open world events (20 missions x 7 minutes per mission / event = 140 minutes per character class. 7 hours for 3 classes).
- Masterwork Javelin = 5-10+ hours (dependent on luck). This is the endgame grind. You need to grind for Masterwork Gear by replaying Strongholds etc. on Grandmaster difficulty. You will get at least 3 Masterwork Items per hour. You need to have a Masterwork item in 10 gear slots, but it’s random for which slot you an item drops. So you need to get lucky that it drops what you need.
- Collectibles = 7 hours. There are 300 Collectibles. If you get 1 Collectible per minute that’s 5 hours. Plus 2 hours for the Districts, Hidden Places and Landmarks.
Step 1: Play all Story Missions & Contracts, work on Gear Challenges & Weapon Challenges
15 trophies are story-related. You just have to complete all main missions and contracts in the game. You accept new missions in Fort Tarsis by talking to the people there (the hub area). After doing one mission the next will become available. What difficulty you play on doesn’t really matter, but hard is recommended to get better gear. Hard difficulty is still very doable when playing in a group.
As you play, make sure to switch your gear every 4 missions to complete the different Javelin Gear challenges. There are 4 Javelins (character classes): Ranger, Colossus, Storm, Interceptor. You must complete 12 gear challenges with each class. The gear challenges are all the same: finish 4 missions with the respective piece of gear equipped. You can equip 3 different gear pieces simultaneously. Make sure you always switch to new gear after having played 4 missions. You can track these under Challenges > Gear (note: there are reports that after day-one patch you must have beaten story mission “Old Friends” to see these challenges).
Weapon challenges require you to do 50 kills with each weapon. There are 27 weapons so that’s 1350 kills. Just make sure you kill all enemies with your weapons and don’t just use melee or special attacks. When you’ve done 50 kills with a weapon switch to a different one before the next mission. You can track these under Challenges > Weapons (note: there are reports that after day-one patch you must have beaten story mission “Old Friends” to see these challenges).
Step 2: Masterwork Javelin
After you’re done with all unique story missions and faction contracts you should be Rank 30 (if not, farm XP via Quickplay). At Rank 30 you unlock Grandmaster difficulty. Grind out masterwork gear to increase your Javelin level to “Masterwork”. See trophy “Master Talent” for best methods. Be sure to stick to the same character class. The reason for this is that you only get item drops for the class you’re playing with. You can keep track of your Javelin rarity at the Forge.
Step 3: Collectibles
There are 300 Collectibles in Anthem. You need all of them. Refer to trophy “No Stone Unturned”. You can track them under Challenges > Exploration > Bastion Collectibles.
The collectibles also give you some loyalty XP which helps to reach Level 3 loyalty with all factions.
Furthermore, there’s one trophy per region for finding all the Landmarks, Districts, and Hidden Places (102 items total). You can track those under Challenges > Exploration > Bastion Regions. Refer the respective region trophies in the Trophy Guide below.

No Stone Unturned Complete all Bastion Collectibles challenges. |
 |
| There are 300 Collectibles in Anthem. You must find all of them for this trophy. You can track them under Challenges > Exploration > Bastion Collectibles. Below is a list of all challenges and how many collectibles there are per category. It’s worth noting that “Mederines’ Disciple” and “Hidden Messages” have multiple challenge tiers. After having found 10 of their collectibles the challenge name changes and you need to find more of them.
What’s great is that all of the Intel & Archive Collectibles respawn when you die (the ones that have 25 each) and they can be collected in the same place again. This will update the collectible counter and still earn you the trophy. You can simply find the same one 25 times! Finding all unique collectibles is not needed and has too many complications anyway. When another player in free-roam picks up a collectible it will disappear in your game. Furthermore, not all collectible types spawn on each freeplay. Only certain types spawn. So you could walk around for hours and never find items of certain types plus somebody might have picked it up before you and then it’s gone. That’s why it’s better to just farm the same route. Refer to the Anthem Collectibles Guide for farming routes. The 80 Misplaced Writings and 80 Hidden Messages don’t respawn. However, if you missed a few you can create a new Pilot and then they respawn. They are really easy to find. Just get about 40-50 of them and make a new pilot to grab the rest (after you’re done with all other trophies, keep this for last). The 10 Overlooks and 4 Tombs of the Legionnaires you can’t farm, you have to find all of those.

Master Talent Complete a mission, contract, or stronghold with a masterwork javelin rarity. |
|
The Javelin is your character class (there are 4 classes total). You can see the rarity level at the Forge. To increase the Rarity, get higher-level gear and also rarer gear. Do not confuse this with your main rank (Rank 30 is the maximum). The Javelin Rarity is different, it shows how strong your Javelin really is. To reach Masterwork Status you need to be Javelin level 486. Be sure to stick to the same character class when farming Masterwork gear. The reason for this is that you only get item drops for the class you’re playing with.
Here’s how it works:
Roadmap to Masterwork status:
To summarize: After reaching level 400 just farm the Tryant Mines Stronghold on Grandmaster I difficulty. It is the most reliable method. Stick with Grandmaster I difficulty. Grandmaster II is not worth it as it takes too long. Remember that it’s random what sort of gear type it drops (weapon or component etc). So it’s also depending on luck. You might get unlucky and receive more Masterwork weapons than you need but not find any Support Gear. It can take a while to get the missing piece you need. The good news is that 1 item slot can be epic for Level 486 so you don’t need all 11 slots masterworked. If you’re super lucky (unlikely) and don’t get any duplicates it would take around 3-4 hours for 10 Masterwork Gear Pieces (1 Stronghold playthroughs takes 30min, gives 1.5 Masterworks = 3 Masterworks per Hour = 12 in 4 Hours). Realistically you’re looking at a 10 hour grind after reaching Rank 30. |

Assault Artisan Complete 3 Assault Rifle I Challenges |
|
There are 3 Assault Rifles in Anthem. You must kill 50 enemies with each of them to complete the first challenge of all 3:
The progress can be tracked under Challenges > Weapons. When you’ve done enough kills with a weapon pick a new one for the next mission. To make this go faster, kill enemies only with your weapons and avoid using Javelin skills or melee attacks. The different weapons are random enemy drops and mission rewards. The fastest way to farm kills is in the open world on easy difficulty. There are lots of enemies found in Eastern Reach region. You can farm 100 kills for 2 weapons in about 10 minutes + 5 minutes loading times, changing weapons and traveling back. That’s roughly 7.5 minutes per weapon. |

Arms Merchant Complete 12 Ranger Gear I Challenges |
|
| The Ranger is 1 of 4 Javelins (character classes) in the game. Each class has 13 Challenges. Each Challenge requires you to play 4 matches or world events with a certain piece of gear equipped. You get the gear as random mission rewards and enemy drops. Keep in mind you can equip 3 pieces of gear simultaneously and it adds challenge progress towards each of them (two weapon gear and one support gear). The fastest way is to do as many of these while playing through every unique mission, then grinding out the rest by replaying short missions on easy difficulty. Remember to change your gear after 4 matches at the forge to equip the next 3 items. There’s only 2 pieces of gear that can go in the support slot but 5 pieces of primary and secondary attack gear. In total you must do at least 20 missions with each class (80 missions total) if you change gear every 4 matches. Do note that already completed challenges get listed under a different tab called “Completed Challenges”.

 |
Sentinel Loyalty 3 Complete tasks to aid the Sentinel cause. |
|
| There are 3 factions in the game: Freelancer, Arcanist, Sentinel.
You must reach Loyalty Level 3 with all of them. You get XP with these factions by doing their contracts, from talking to people at Fort Tarsis, from collectibles and other open world activities. You can keep track of this progress under Challenges > Factions. Be sure to talk to everyone between missions. It doesn’t add much XP but it’s better than nothing and you can quickly skip the dialogues. Doing contracts for each faction gives the most. Collectibles and some other open world activities also add XP. While finding all Collectibles for trophy “No Stone Unturned” you will earn a fair chunk of XP towards this. In order to unlock the trophy you don’t just have to reach Level 3, you have to completely fill up the Level 3 Loyalty bar (3000 XP). By the time you have all other trophies you should be loyalty level 3 with all factions automatically, but if not just replay contracts or do open world events to grind out the remaining loyalty XP. Having finished the level 3 loyalty unlocks “Legendary Contracts” with the respective faction in the endgame. Freelancers:
Arcanists:

PowerPyx says
Still investigating one “issue” (need some input on this);
– The challenge tracker for weapons & gear isn’t available for some people (or everyone?) until later in the game. They must’ve messed this up with day one patch because when I played this before release it was available from the start (tested in a new game on different account with day-one patch and the challenges are no longer in the menu). Need confirmation when these challenges unlock in menu and if it adds the kills you already did up to that point. Need confirmation whether it’s glitched or just tied to a certain rank / level / story mission. Someone reported it unlocked after “Old Friends” which is halfway through the game. On my main account I’m long past that and have the challenges open.
Cid says
Hi, I would like tô confirm that you do not need to wait until Old Friends to get the weapon and gear challenges on menu. Just do one freeplay game and you will have it.
Ilthares says
“online only game, constant internet connection required”
ok but do you need ps plus to play the game?
thanx in advance 🙂
PowerPyx says
Yes, PS+ is required to play online games.
Desmod says
I thought you working on Metro trophy guide
PowerPyx says
Metro will be up this week too.
Luke says
According to the Anthem sub Reddit the Masterwork gear level is 486. Do you think it will take a long, long time to get this or will it be difficult?
Jack says
Can the platinum be achieved solo player ?
Frank says
Yes it can. I am currently working on that myself.
Ash says
Hi
Cant find where to track weapon kills. Said in the guide to go challenges then weapons but there’s no weapon option in challenges same goes for tracking javelin abilities.
Thanks
PowerPyx says
Open Menu > Challenges > Weapons (select the weapon type).
For Gear open Menu > Challenges > Gear > (select 1 of the 4 character classes).
Vanyar1 says
It’s the same for me. Neither the weapon nor the gear tab is there. I’ve got challenges like “Fractions” or “Expeditions” but not these two :-/
Maybe they’re not there at the beginning of the game?
PowerPyx says
Probably needs more progress until you are able to change your weapon (completed first two missions). I’ll check this in a new game later. How far are you in the story?
Vanyar1 says
For me both challenges unlocked after the mission “Old Friends” (or whatever it’s called in english xD)
skidracket said you need to clear “Incursion” but I didn’t do that mission yet (it’s the next one I have to do). I looked into the challenges after every mission and it was Old Friends.
PowerPyx says
I just went through my old video footage. Both the Weapon Challenges & Gear Challenges were unlocked after the prologue for me (so at the beginning of the game). ALL challenges were unlocked. That was 7 days ago BEFORE day one patch.
So I started a new game on a 2nd account to confirm and guess what, the challenges are missing now. They must have messed this up with the day one patch. It makes absolutely no sense that these challenges would only unlock after Old Friends when 7 days ago they were available from the start. Hope they patch this back, surely this must’ve been an unwanted mistake in the patch. If that’s an intended “fix” they just made the game worse.
I’m gonna add a note to the trophy guide for now.
Can you confirm if the kills you had already done were instantly updated after Old Friends mission?
Also, because you brought up it unlocked for another user after a different mission, I’m thinking this might just be glitched and it unlocks at different points for everyone, or they made it level-related now with day one patch? Would be good to have more confirmation if it unlocks after Old Friends for everyone else too and what level you were at the time of unlocking the challenge tracker.
skidracket says
I’ve opened challenges and there is no weapons tab?
skidracket says
After you beat Incursion you can view your weapon challenges
Luke says
How is the Masterwork Javelin rarity trophy looking? Do you expect it to bump the difficulty and time estimate?
Gilberto says
if you use the same javelin and got it masterworked for example, but have all other 3 unlocked, can you get random loot gear for those javelins doing stuff, or must have to play with each one all over from 0 points/common javelin, in order to get the gear and masterwork it?
Ferenc Jakab says
You can get loot for the other javelins but not in masterwork or legendary quality. If you want to build up all 4 to masterwork then you must play with them in the endgame.
Orso says
Hi, can I ask you a question about the achievement Honorable Pursuits? This is the last mission of yarrow right? After this mission yarrow disappear from his usual location right? I’m asking because I think it is bugged for me.
Elegantmermaidx says
The Light Machine Gun Lover trophy is glitched for me! 🙁

Itz_bru7alz says
Early Warning trophy bugged I’ve played the mission early warnings 50 times and still no trophy…EA and BioWare need to get there shit together!!im going to take them to court if I can’t get my platinum ?
tidus says
I finished the story yesterday, but I did not get the trophy „Military Pursuits“ & „Scholarly Pursuits“. ??♂️?
KissellJ says
These are both glitched for me. I have completed the story and talked to everyone in the fort and have no more missions or side missions to do and am level 30 with an Epic javelin. Mattias has a speech icon above his head on the map, but he won’t talk to me when I go talk to him. Scholarly Pursuits and Military Pursuits can’t be progressed, they’re both glitched for me.
storm says
guys There is nothing to lose, just complete some contracts and then return and will gives you the new mission. I have done it myself and succeeded. I have been advised by a friend who plays with me powerpy Add information to Guide
csonni says
Arcanist Loyalty 3 glitched for me, I have the challenge earned in the menu and at the desk by matthias but did not receive any rewards or the trophy, anyone else have the same problem?
T says
This trophy is also glitched for me as well it says the challenge is complete. I received the sigils reward but not the bronze, brass or copper and also did not receive the trophy.
tidus says
Ok, forget the comment from me, got it now. ?
Itz_bru7alz says
Tidus I’m having big problems with the early warnings trophy ..it’s the first mission I’ve did it 80 times now ?..can someone please tell me anyway around this bugged trophy !!ive contacted EA twice and they just ignore me ..I know they can unlock it for me cause I’m black ops 4 they unlocked the black out characters trophy for everyone ..
LgNd says
Hi
I’ve completed all weapon challenges, the shotgun and heavy pistol did not unlock. I’m now lvl30 and I switched between character but I don’t think it affects the trophy cause some popped up no problem. So is it a glitch or something or do we have to do the exotic ones too? And if it glitched are they aware and are they going to fix it cause I’m really tired of playing games on launch day and “get glitched” ?
Christopher Winter says
Hi I have a glitched chevo for Colossus called “gadgets galore”. I have all 12 challenges 1 for Colossus, but no Achievement (i am playing on xbox one x, so same bugs as on ps4). Have anybody a solution?
king regards
Gotrek_74 says
Just a quick note to say that Masterworks Components (which you require to reach Javelin lvl 486 CANNOT be varied in the strongholds and can only be got from the legendary contracts of which you receive 3 per day. These must be played on GrandMaster 1 difficulty in order to gain the required tier of equipment.
Gotrek_74 says
*gained (not varied, damned android auto-spellchecker!)
Gopidx says
I completed freelancer loyalty level 3 but still I didn’t get the trophy . I can confirm it that the freelancer level 3 challenge is in my completed tab only
SamasAran says
Same here. Freelancer Loyalty 3 trophy glitched for me..
SurvorX says
So many bug and glitch, Can’t platinum. Game broken 🙁
still 1 week waiting fix..
ALKAHOLIK- says
Just noticed a few things as I’m trying to platinum…..gear-related trophies at the moment are impossible as finding the 2nd support gear is non-existent…I’ve researched the EA forums and it seems that I’m not alone in this….second using masterwork variants of a gear does NOT count towards progression to the gear challenges…you have to use epic level or lower
Anyone else notice this?
anon says
PLEASE update the guide to include the numerous reported glitches. You’re one of the most visible sites for trophies, and you calling it out might lead to change.
I had the grenade launcher trophy glitch. Didn’t pop,vs despite meeting the requirements in the weapons challenge tab.
PowerPyx says
The Glitches have been in the Overview for days, so this has been in the guide already…
Problem is no specific trophies seem to glitch every time, rather any challenge-based trophy can glitch out at random. Tbh, I don’t think Bioware will fix this cause they got much bigger issues going on with this game.
Martin says
„Seal Savant„ is bugged too…
I’ve done 15 challenges, but it’s still 11/12 … Nothing more happens… This game has so many problems, unbeliviable… ??
Thomas says
Hey just wanted to give you a update to help finding the last ones. I found a sheet on reddit with 50 locations. You should check it out. And while I was tracking those I actually found a couple more nearby to some of the locations
Learykal says
I have only came across 1 glitch in the trophies so far… the arcanist level 3. Didnt even realise I hit 3000 XP on the last level because no trophy popped. I cant even gain anymore XP for arcanist faction. But… I havnt finished the agent mission from Matthias yet… on the 3rd stage. So hopefully when I finish that it may pop. I’ll be finishing that later today so I’ll let you guys know if it works. Has anybody reached max faction 3 and also completed the agent mission tied to that faction?
Scott says
hey in your honest opinion what’s the easiest way to farm for Masterwork to get your Javelin to master work?
PowerPyx says
The easiest would be killing random enemies in free roam on GM01 difficulty, but it’s also the most random. The enemies are very easy to kill but sometimes you could get 4 Masterworks in an hour and other times one or none.
Strongholds are more reliable and with a good team not that hard, that’d be my preferred option.
Scott says
Okay thanks man yeah I’ve been running the Tyrant mine over and over but I seem still get the same Masterwork over and over for my element powers for my storm over and over I’m not getting anything else guess its just random.
Embrace says
You can farm reputation for Freelancer Loyalty 3 by entering and leaving the tombs. I farmed intel next to Tomb of Artina and entered/left it to make the intel respawn. I gained Freelancer reputation each time I left the tomb.
Learykal says
I’ve tested everything possible to get the arcanist level 3 to pop but nothing. Still glitched. I thought the master javelin was glitched too for me seems I did 8 strongholds and 3 world events . No trophy. I did 1 normal contract and it popped at the end. Few. But still… ain’t gonna platinum this game… the faction reputation is shared between all new characters you make. The only way to do it would be to get every trophy except the glitched one/s. Upload storage to the cloud. Delete saved data on ps4. Restart from scratch. Still no guarantee it wont glitch again tho.
Alex da Masculino Nepomuceno says
is it possible to back up the save? I did a test where I saved the last save in the pendrive, and in that save I had 2 characters, I deleted 1 of the characters and then I tried to rescue again by the pendrive, when starting the game, even with the old save, the second persisted it was deleted.
Alex da Masculino Nepomuceno says
Is there any solution for the challenge trophies of the arms? the game does not give any option to redo this challenge because even creating a new character the challenges are still concluded, please, some solution?
SurvorX says
Well.. New Patch 1.03,
Still not fix trophy, Disappointed, =/
Randall says
For some reason my “Explorer: East Gate” Trophy wont pop.
In the challenge section the game states I havent found “Scar Mast”. But the Library says I did. And in-game the landmark isnt showing up (Because I got it) Either way, its not there. Would making a new pilot help? Or do I just have bad luck..
sM3 says
The epic talent trophy just won‘t pop for me, does anyone have the same issue? Uncommon and rare talent both worked fine.
sM3 says
Ok, I got it by now, can‘t say what the problem was but the trophy is here.
Ali says
Any solution for glitched trophies?
Ali says
I mean like arcanist trophy
I passed 3000 point and it doesn’t pop yet
Scott says
unfortunately looks like the last patch glitch more trophies out.. I got 2 friends that are not Trophy Hunters they got Masterwork javelins and the trophy did not pop for them also my freelance loyalty level 3 trophy will not pop.. let’s hope they fix this soon..
Devon K Toland says
Platinum won’t take 40+ hours. I finished in 25 and I wasn’t being super efficient. I also found 3 routes to knock out 4 of the collectibles really fast. There might be one for the 5th but I anyway had it done. Let me know if you want me to share a video with you for the site.
PowerPyx says
Hi Devon, 25 hours is really fast!
Yes, if you do have a more efficient farming route that’d help out a lot of people. Feel free to send a link in reply to this comment, or email it to me / send it via twitter / PSN. Whatever is easiest for you.
Lee says
Have the assault weapon chanllege bug uploaded old saves to storage etc uninstalled an reinstalled the game but still nothing….
Joaquin says
Any news about a fix for the Anarchist loyalty 3 trophy. Because mine is still glitched even after the last patch
Foty says
I beg to differ with the statement that you wrote about you only get drops for the class you are using. I have gotten many drops for other classes in one mission. Colossus gear using interceptor, ranger using storm, among others. Many of those I play with also get random gear for other classes
PowerPyx says
It’s entirely possible this has changed through patches/hotfixes. This guide was based on the day-1 version and the game underwent many changes since then.
Can anyone else here confirm / deny the info about the drops? I could use more confirmation on this and will then update it asap.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the game myself anymore to check (I only got it through Origin Premier which I cancelled already).
Genichiro says
Hey PowerPyx. I have been playing Anthem on Xbox One and I just reached endgame. Unfortunately the online community is completely dead. It is very difficult to find other players to do Strongholds on Grandmaster difficulty with via matchmaking. This makes the Masterwork achievement significantly harder. I have heard the community on PS4 is also dead. If you start Anthem now, it will take significantly longer than 40 hours. Probably it will take 80+ hours as you will have to do solo missions and contracts unless you can find a group to do strongholds on GM. The story and getting to rank 30 also takes much longer to finish as there are very few players playing story missions at this point.
Shahin says
I can confirm that the Playstation community are still active on Anthem. Have been playing for about a week now and have been matching up with a full squad almost every stronghold mission with about 2 not playing solo. Story missions aren’t as lively however the side missions/contracts are more lively with players
Shahin says
Can anyone confirm any trophy fixes with the latest patch? I’ve read into the patch notes but nothing about trophies really
pedro grunwald says
you can update de guide? i can give my account for you to update the guide
PowerPyx says
Hi, do you have a list of things that are changed / need to be updated in the guide?
And I don’t need your account, that would be against Terms of Service anyway. As long as you know what’s changed I can work with that, or you can also message me on PSN/Twitter so we can go through it in depth. I’ll gladly credit you for any updates. It’s hard for me to keep track while working on a new game every week (and leaves me little time to go back), so having the help of the community is an extremely huge help for games like Anthem that change a lot over time. If you can narrow down what needs updates that’d be superb 🙂
Kurtzmann says
Hey all i have problems finding some stuff for 3 trophys
Cannon Connoisseur:
Torrent
Munitions Maestro:
Siege Cannon
Seal Savant:
Arc Burst
I have been playing them for a long time and cant find them anyone abel to help?
Persash says
I want to make an update, for master talent trophy you need a minimum of 740 power level now. It is more easy to get tho, since you can get some legendary armour and weapons in the game store with in game coins.
Joseph572 says
I’ve was having a problem to get the Lurker grenade launcher to drop for the weapon grenade challenge trophy, after a lot of grind it dropped on the Legendary Fortress of Dawn (Mission), other people who’ve had this problem have also mentioned it drops in Legendary missions.
Aero_X_999 says
Now need to update this info since the Anthem online service has been shut down as of January 12, 2026. So, this platinum trophy is now forever unobtainable.
