Anthem Update Fixes Legendary Runner Issue

EA has released a new patch for Anthem to fix an issue with the weekly challenge not rewarding players with loot on completion. The weekly challenge, Legendary Runner, was supposed to give out 2,000 coins as a reward on completion and count towards the monthly count of challenges. After players had completed this mission once, the mission failed to reward players for any future completions of the same challenge in the following weeks.

Without this weekly challenge being counted as completed, some players were unable to unlock their monthly challenges, missing out on a chance to get a Masterwork Ember–a rare crafting element for crafting Javelin armor and weapons.

For players who have finished or attempted to complete the challenge previously, EA will be backtracking through accounts and accrediting them with rewards for each completion. These rewards should now be granted in-game, if they are not appearing make sure to reach out to the Anthem support page.

The patch has rolled out automatically across PS4, PC and Xbox One. If the patch has not been downloaded on your device, check your connection or the store page for any updates. Keep checking back on Anthem, as the big redesign is being developed and will be released sometime in the next few months.
