7 Ways To Bring Anthem Back From The Dead
2. Guns With A Story (And Much Cooler Names)
Bioware have never been known for their gunplay, but shooting guns in Anthem does feel satisfying. However, at this current time, there isn't the gun game that looter shooters and shared world games need to keep them fresh.
The names and designs of the guns are very safe, calling a shotgun "Rolling Thunder" and giving it a +2 range doesn't fill a player with intrigue and excitement upon getting one. Including legendary gun quests, for weapons that have unique perks beyond numbers on a spreadsheet will give players a real reason to chase them down.
Look at Destiny again for example, there are countless guns that are not only elusive and exclusive but look amazing and have amazing back stories that can further flesh out the world. Luna's Howl, the much sort-after PvP hand cannon has a long narrative that plays out in Jon Wick fashion. Thorn has life-draining bullets and a dark lore-driven history to match.
These types of weapons make Destiny's world feel fleshed out beyond the actions of the player.
