thanks to them for allowing me to take part in an anthem early access capture event today people I will explain all you need to know about their leveling system in the game how it works while it does

hitting that like button and if you are new around here be sure to subscribe as I have many many more exclusive anthem videos to come which you won't want to miss now if you guys are new to games such as anthem but are currently playing Destiny or have it in the past this will be a piece of cake for you to understand in fact I'm pretty certain this system as a whole isn't entirely new but for them sure it's the best of experience and played within a game of this genre but it is easy to understand and within this video I'll explain everything you guys need to know now it's important to note this games are leveling system and your level isn't decided under certain javelin suits you decide to use but is with your freelancer basically you as a player the more you play the more XP you earn your character your player you level up not the suit you use this means one suit won't get left behind if you decide to roll with a certain of a suit for most of the time so if you made an interceptor but decide to go defensive with a colossus which you rarely use because you leveled your player even though playing through one main specific javelin suit i.e. an interceptor you will still be good to go good to jump into another suit and be ready to rumble because as you play along and level up you still unlock certain things for other javelin suits as well as the one you are using so nothing is left behind so as a player you level up through means of playing from running around in through play to doing story missions contract strongholds daily weekly and even monthly challenges or rewards you XP in leveling up at the moment the max player level is currently 30 but I'm guessing that might change in the future giving us more levels to chase now other than your player level there is another level which determines your overall power in play and it's classed as power so for now we're gonna call it power level this level is determined by your loadout so in the forge under the loadout tab you will see nodes between five and six as you start these are different for each javelin suit but each node and item selected which includes your weapons components grenades assault system support systems etc etc all determine your power level that overall level score each node also affecting your way of attacks and basically extra buffs with the components which we'll get to in a minute if we take a look at the weapons in which you can select and use to the second in which becomes unlocked at a level three we can see all weapons have a certain power level now it's important to know as what you are seeing here and what you will see are mostly uncommon and common with a few rare bits and bobs thrown in obviously the higher the rarity the higher the power level now there are six tiers of rarities in the game common uncommon rare epic legendary and masterwork obviously the higher and rarer the item the more power it will offer you as I just said so two weapons you can select from and the power level they offer adds to your overall power level and each node basically does the same here offering all six rarities in which again determines your overall power level now the components say big thing within the game the components basically give you six additional perks which truly affect your means of play each component is unlocked the more you play and the higher you level up the first components slot is unlocked at a level four then six then 12 14 18 and 23 and these components each add effects in terms of both to your loadout anything from extra damage on a certain specific weapon type to increased armor to extra ammo for certain weapons again there are also the same six rarities of components you can find and unlock which all again help with the overall power level score once you unlock all six components have to reach in that level 23 expect your power level to be of much greater value than obviously when you first start leveling up you will notice each Javarin does have different name nodes though that's basically because each Javarin has been set up for different purposes while the interceptors built to be agile and get in and out as fast as possible the Colossus is a defensive unit which can lay down massive damage and take more damage but in return is much less agile the Ranger is an all-round Javarin suit not really having a precise go-to usage but it's just an all-round good Javarin suit and then there's a storm which is more of an agile Javarin but makes the most out of elemental damage attacks from a distance probably the fans favorite at the moment now all Javarin suits do have different nodes within their loadouts or do have the components section but other nodes can vary meaning while some Javarin suits may be able to equip more than others the benefits don't always mean that they are the best to use for most scenarios the game offers but yes each node allows access to different artillery and components which will affect your overall power level so how is loot obtained so that you can increase your power level that's pretty simple actually so obviously the game is full of missions side missions contracts daily's weeklies and even monthly activities and challenges and also in game activities like strongholds and so forth all dropping loot at the end of the activity which will help you level up your power level but like I said earlier too completing missions on your interceptor will reward you items for uses on other Javarin suits meaning they won't get left behind if you do decide to go headfirst with one Javarin that's completely up to you also people each activity you choose to take part in has a difficulty setting easy normal hard and grandmaster which is a real challenge but the harder the difficulty setting you complete the mission in the better rewards will be you can see the percentage increase in loot drops with the harder difficulties but these require full coordination within your squad using combos of attacks to be even more efficient in taking down those harder enemies loadouts will be vital here with support classes definitely needed as shit gets crazy but yeah the harder you work the more you are rewarded and the better that loot will be in turn helping you level up faster and get that overall power level quicker but guys you can also craft gear to use again helping your overall power level now the way crafting work is as follows you first need to salvage certain parts depending on what you're trying to craft or even farm certain materials at the end of missions you are rewarded said loot if that loot is no good to you or you have higher versions of it you can salvage it in return getting parts for it these parts you accumulate add up and allow you to craft certain things within your loadout section in the forge area via personally required next tab button now depending on what you're actually trying to craft will determine what you need to craft said items if it's something for the interceptor specifically you will no doubt need interceptor parts these you can get for salvaging older interceptor items you no longer need or you are rewarded and no longer have use for other materials come from in-game methods like farming certain materials found all over the wide open free play area as well as in missions to or you can use the in-game earnable currency to purchase said materials from the in-game vanity store to make grinding a little less grindy we have I believe almost every available mat here available for you to purchase so crafting upgrades for your javelin seems to be a major part of the game which is great crafting via unlockable blueprints is a thing to people more info on this will come very very soon in a video to come important to mention though is a vendor with an important task is who if you visit shows you everything you own in terms of unlocks via all javelin classes weapons materials and much much more seen on screen now known as the vaults so this place will be super useful to see what you have unlocked and so forth but yeah guys I think I've covered everything in regards to leveling up both your freelancer and your power level if you guys have any questions you can always tweet me at tpjsc08 or message me via my a and from Facebook page or even DM me on my discord all are linked within the
