Rarity

Types of Rarities in Anthem

The value of every item in Anthem can be recognized by its rarity.

There are 6 tiers of rarities in Anthem. They are represented by the number of triangles and a specific color. Rarity can be attributed to every obtainable item in Anthem, be it Cosmetics or Combat Equipment.

Enemies do not have a rarity, but they have types, which may sound similar to some rarity names. Expeditions such as some Missions, Contracts, and World Events can have prefixes that sound like some rarities, but they don't have any rarity associated with them. Certain Challenges can have prefixes that begin with a rarity name, but they aren't attributed any rarity.
