While Anthem is currently in the hands of those lucky enough to have early access, it is releasing for the rest of us on February 22, 2019, on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The online multiplayer action RPG from EA and Bioware features a leveling up system, but what is the Anthem level cap? Read on to discover all you need to know about the Anthem max rank.
Anthem Level Cap | What is the max rank?
Unlike other RPGs, which allows players to reach the giddy heights of level 99 or higher, Anthem‘s level cap is rather low. The Anthem level cap is 30. At the time of launch, you will only be able to reach level 30 in Anthem. While it sounds low, however, your character does level up a little differently in Anthem than what you might be used to.
Levels in Anthem are called Pilot Levels and you won’t earn stat boosts upon leveling up. Much like in Destiny, you will be able to find, unlock, and equip more powerful equipment, rarer items, and Inscriptions upon leveling up. What’s more, you will also unlock new Javelins, Forge Slots, and Match Consumables when you reach set Pilot levels in Anthem. Check out our Anthem Pilot Level rewards guide to find out what you unlock and when.
Anthem Level Cap | How to level up in Anthem
To level up in Anthem, you will need to complete Feats and Expeditions. Doing so will award you with Experience Points (XP). Completing Contracts, too, will award you with XP. We’ve got guides on how to unlock Legendary Contracts and how to replay Contracts in Anthem. Completing Contracts will also earn you rewards, so they might be the way to go if you’re looking to reach Pilot Level 30 quickly.
BioWare and EA may decide to increase the Anthem level cap in the future, however. This has happened before in a fair number of games, so there is no reason it couldn’t happen again in Anthem.

Everything You Need to Know About Anthem's Javelins
So, you're diving into Anthem? Not sure which of the mech suits to climb into first? We've taken them all for a test flight, cooled off under the waterfall, and returned with the lowdown on all four. Here's everything you need to know about Anthem's Javelins. -
Ranger
No matter your preference, you'll be starting your Anthem run in a Ranger. Described as the all around jack of all trades, the Ranger can slot into any situation and round out any team. Rangers can dash across short distances and strike foes with a devastating Shock Mace. -
Lock and Load
As for gear, a Ranger can pack grenades or cannon blasts. These range from elemental bombs to heat-seeking missiles. Rangers can support their team with a bubble shield that protects from foes or enhances damage. Finally, the Ranger's ultimate is a volley of missiles that can hit dozens of enemies at once. -
Colossus
For a mech game, Anthem sure does have some agile suits. If you want a more traditional giant robot experience, may we suggest the Colossus? The biggest of the four Javelins, the Colossus is a tank that blasts into battle with a mounted flamethrower and several ordinances. -
Prepare for Titanfall
The Colossus is all about busting things up. Whether that's with various mortars, a literal firewall or a burst of lightning, you'll be charging through foes and making a lot of noise. There's also a Railgun and a Flak Cannon to strap on if you want to get even more up close and personal. -
Interceptor
You want fast? Pick the Interceptor. With an innate triple jump and three dashes, you'll be moving all around the battlefield as you pepper opponents with shots. Mark enemies with your Target Beacon to single them out and boost damage across your team. Or, just focus in yourself with this mech's range of different systems. -
The Need for Speed
Interceptor players shine in the melee arena. Among their options are an electrifying dash attack, several different elemental ninja stars, and poisonous options for decaying large groups of foes. You can also do the Naruto thing and create duplicates to confuse your opponents before hitting your final strike. -
Storm
Of all the Javelins in Anthem, the Storm is the most unique. It's not every day that your robot suit is slinging magic spells like some kind of wizard from the moon. Storms can hover in mid-air away from danger and pepper the field with damage. -
Bringing the Thunder
You've got everything you'd expect from an elemental warrior. Ice beams, lightning bolts, frost shards, and fireballs, all at your fingertips. When you charge your ultimate, you can combine all the elements into a torrent of energy that can wipe out a whole squadron. -
What's Next for Javelins?
Storm, Colossus, Ranger, and Interceptor. These are the four Javelins that Freelancers can pilot in their Anthem adventures. Will we see more variety in future Javelin designs? New abilities for existing warriors? New chances for combo attacks? Only time and BioWare's roadmap can say for sure.
