Cortex

The Cortex contains the details of everything in Anthem—the gameplay, lore, and tutorials.

Various pieces of information will be added to it as The Freelancer explores Northern Bastion and any other location beyond, be it through cut scenes or physically entering them through Conjunctions. A notification will pop up on the left side of the screen when an entry is added. The Cortex is comprised of several sections.

The entire Cortex's Main Sections and Sub Sections can be seen at the bottom of the page.

Loading Screen Cortex[]

Loading Screen Cortex lists all the entries found on the loading screen between area transition in Anthem. Most cortex entries in this section only appear on the loading screen, and not in other sections of the cortex. This particular section will not show up when the cortex button is pressed, however, it is included in the list below to show emphasis on it.

See Loading Screen Cortex for more information.

Everything shown on the loading screen, including the relevant images, are linked to take to the appropriate page.

Briefing Cortex[]

The information presented by quest providers to the Freelancer are listed in this section. This particular section will not show up when the cortex button is pressed, however, it is included in the list below to show emphasis on it. 3 pages are shown to the Freelancer when they receive the information. Although, some of the details may show up in the Journal. They will be listed here separately.

Note:There are more than several entries in the game, but because the way the Anthem wiki is getting reformed, they have the lowest priority for updating as Anthem's rework was canceled. However, they will most certainly be added!

Recent Entry[]

Every Main Section shows a Recent Entry sub section on the top. That simply allows you to read the most recent cortex entry obtained during the game. It is nothing special.
