Anthem just released their Halloween event today with patch 1.5.0 and along with it came some nice welcomed changes, optimizations and some unique armors and gear.
From the patch notes these are the updates (Bug fixes can be found at this link https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/anthem/news/update-150 )
New Features
Seasonal: Echoes of Reality
Head back into the Cataclysm again but this time the looks have changed, some of the boss monsters have changed and the events in different orders with some weird black ghosts floating around. Crystals are rewarded like the previous Cataclysm event by racing the clock and scoring as many points as possible. Like the original Cataclysm there is a special crystal currency that is in place to allow you to purchase this events seasonal items. They've now added a guaranteed legendary option for one of the rewards which is nice but requires 5,000 crystals. The regular war chests are back as well featuring Javelin specific ones and just random free for all ones.
New freeplay events:
They've added 3 new freeplay events (That I have found so far) that pop up around the map. Completing all 3 within a specified time limit will unlock a portal to challenge an optional boss. There are 3 specific events. Failing any of them will result in not being able to reach the special boss.
1. Protect the bonfire and keep it lit.
2. Collecting fragments and pressure plate puzzle - Collect fragments in the area and then you'll need to match the pressure plates by the random corresponding symbols.
3.Carry the torch lighting bonfires in a new underground cave.
Rewards and armor sets:
They've added 2 new armor sets one is themed off of the enemies in the world and the second set is a Mass Effect theme.Along with these comes a huge amount of vinyls and wraps as well but I won't list them all here.
Mass Effect Set: Asari, Krogan, Quarian and Turian.
Creature set:
The event seems pretty neat so far and it's nice to have it while they work on fixing the issues with the game. Another themed event is expected to happen after this event and then hopefully by then we will see the next step for the game. Thanks to the Anthem Archives for the armor pictures as well.
