EA and Bioware’s anticipated online RPG shooter Anthem is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. There are many facets to the game’s world, including plenty of items and equipment to locate. This includes Anthem Embers. If you’re struggling to find the best places to farm Ember in Anthem, this guide is for you. Find out Anthem Ember locations, what it is, and why you need it below.
Anthem Ember Farming | What is Ember?
You will notice that Ember is thrown into the mix of Anthem early on in the game. Right near the start of Anthem, you will be tasked with finding a number of Ember to Prospero (the merchant of Fort Tarsis bazaar). Once you give Prospero the Embers asked for, you will be able to use the Forge. Here, you can craft new items and equipment for you to use however you wish.
The trouble is, Ember is a relatively rare crafting ingredient. To make matters worse, Anthem doesn’t go into details of where you can find Ember. Instead of fumbling around in the dark, we’re here to let you know all the ways in which you can find and farm Ember in Anthem.
Anthem Ember Farming | Where to find Ember locations
Unfortunately, Ember will prove difficult to farm. It will appear randomly in a variety of different locations. We can’t simply circle a location and tell you that’s where you’ll find tonnes of the stuff. Thankfully, you can find Ember in a whole host of different ways.
Firstly, you will want to find and harvest Plants (Resource Nodes). Jump into Freeplay and find Plants and other Resource Nodes that are scattered around the world of Bastion for you early game players. To harvest Resource Nodes, simply walk up to them and hold the “Harvest” button. Simple enough.
You can also collect Embers from dismantling any loot you may have. The rarer the loot, the better the Embers you’ll receive, much like Legendary Shards in Destiny 2. Rare and Epic Embers are out there, folks. You can find Embers in loot drops, too. Occasionally, enemies will drop the precious resource as well. The quickest way to farm Embers in Anthem, though, is to collect them from harvesting Resource Nodes.

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.
