Coins are one of the types of currency available for players in Anthem. Coins serve as your primary currency and are used to purchase items, gear, emotes, drop-in animations and more. Here's how to get more Coins so you can buy all the cool stuff you want.
How to Get Coins in Anthem
The easiest way to get Coins is by completing missions. Seems simple, right? You'll run out of missions at some point, though, so while this is great while you still have them available, you'll have to figure out other ways to make some dough once you finish your missions. The next best way to acquire Coins is to complete Challenges. You can find your available Challenges in the Cortex, where you can see the rewards and how to complete them. Some will make you clear content as a certain Javelin, with a certain weapon type, or while playing with your controller upside down (okay, maybe not that last one, but some combination of the prior two will no doubt come your way.)
It's important to note that not all Challenges reward Coins, so be sure to look at the Rewards before taking one on. Doing more content will be better for you in the long run, of course, but if you're particularly looking for Coins, it might be best to prioritize those Challenges first.
How to Spend Your Coins
A wise man once said, "Scared money don't make no money," but he didn't say anything about how to spend that money! So here's where you spend your money - the Vanity Store. The Vanity Store contains many customization options for your Javelin so you're no longer stuck with the default color you've been staring at for far too long. You can also buy crafting materials like Weapon Parts here, but that gets a little expensive after a while and isn't sustainable for the long haul. Your best bet will be to save your Coins for the Javelin class you prefer to use and spend your money there.
We'll be continuing our Anthem coverage all week in preparation for the game's launch on February 22, so stay tuned! Now that you look sweet, you'll probably want some awesome weapons to go along with that sick new color scheme. Here's how to get Weapon Parts so you can craft some sick new gear!
