Patch 1.1.0 for Anthem is now live and introduces players to the Sunken Cell stronghold. This is only available to players who have managed to complete the main story.
Anthem 1.1.0 Patch Notes
Aside from the new stronghold, the patch also now allows players to:
- select contracts from the start of expedition screen rather than going to the individual contract boards in Fort Tarsis or in the Launch Bay;
- launch a new mission from the end of expedition screen without having to return to Fort Tarsis or the Launch Bay; and
- access the Forge during Missions, Strongholds and Freeplay. You can now change your gear without having to return to Fort Tarsis or the Launch Bay.
