Just some days ago I’ve covered the Anthem Javelin types and their abilities, abilities damage and symbols. u/FireDragon04 posted the first version of the list on Reddit and now he’s back with version 2 of Javelin abilities, damage etcetera. The number of Javelins is the same as it was announced unless EA surprise us with a new Javelin increasing the count to 5. Which is very unlikely, here’s the updated list of Anthen Javelin abilities damage and symbols.
Anthem Javelin Types, Abilities Damage and Symbols Details and Updated List
According to EA, the game is releasing on 22nd of February and the company announced a beta test for the game. The VIP Demo takes place from January 25 – 27, a few weeks before Anthem launches on February. People who pre-ordered the game will be able to play the VIP demo.

Javelin Details
As you may have already known, you can choose from a total of 4 Javelins. Javelins are powered exosuits, classes of this game, worn and piloted by Freelancers when venturing into the world beyond Fort Tarsis. Providing the freelancers superhuman strength which is also customizable. The four Javelins are:
- Ranger
- Colossus
- Storm
- Interceptor
Ranger
He is the most versatile Javelin capable of adap[ting into every situation. Triggering the ultimate of this Javelin activates the exosuit’s built-in missile launcher. The missiles have good tracking which is extremely helpful in defeating high mobility enemies.
Colossus
He is the largest and the sturdiest of all Javelins. Who can deals tons of damage at close or long range. He is the tank class of the game. Due to his big cannon which shoots heavy bullets which deals massive AoE damage. The ultimate ability of this Javelin allows it to fire off multiple shots to clear out zones of smaller enemies or deal big damage to a single target.
Storm
An elemental javelin suitable for dealing damage from a distance. We can say he is the mage class of Anthem. The javelin hovers most of the time overlooking at the battlefield truly like a mage. The Storm’s ultimate does elemental damage which you can find in any Dragon Age game.
Interceptor
He is the smallest, lightest and most agile of all Javelins. He is the assassin class of Anthem. The ultimate ability of Interceptor is purely melee when an enemy is hit with one attack will continue to suffer “echoes” of the same attack for ten seconds.

The user who made the list also made tweets on Twitter for confirming the data on the list and apparently the new symbol is giving everyone a problem.

Well the mystery is now solved, The sharped-like icon is the new icon for detonators, the other one is now obsolete. This is confirmed by Ben Irving, the lead producer on Anthem, in one of his tweets.
From the bottom image, the new icons are — middle one (circle)means primer, right one (explosion looking thingy)means detonator. Left one is gone. Some have neither because they do neither https://t.co/VTpsteN1kq

While Anthem is going to be one of the most anticipated titles of 2019, the game is everything but light on resources. Considering it is a massive open world game with tons of potential I think it’s worth the effort if it delivers to the expectations. Let us know what do you think down in the comments below.
