Guilds

Guilds are teams or units of Freelancers that form a band and go on expeditions in Anthem. Since Freelancers are independent, they usually form temporary or permanent guilds with each other. Whenever guilds pass by an Overlook, there was a Freelancer tradition of writing something about their adventure in a special book placed on the spot.

A Freelancer tradition of documenting travels through the wild for those who follow. In the days before cyphers, overlooks were a useful way to track the happenings of Freelancers, and became a vital source for understanding an area. Now that technology can document Freelancer activity, overlooks are more often used as a record of when the area was last visited.

Guild Chat

It is possible to chat with fellow guild mates in Anthem App.

• There are two options in the guild chat: the Guild Board and Direct Messages.
  • Guild Board: This is where all guild members can communicate in a public group chat.
  • Direct Messages: Allows you to communicate one-on-one with another player in the guild. If you mute a member, you cannot send them messages or receive messages from them until you unmute them.
• You can block a player by tapping on their icon and clicking "Mute", which will hide their messages in chat beneath a message that says "Player is Muted".
