Consumables Guide

What are Consumables

In Anthem consumables are one-time use items called inscriptions that give your Javelin suit a temporary boost. These boosts include health, shielding, heat capacity (important when flying) or one of the various types of damage during an expedition.

How do you Unlock Consumables

Consumables are not available from the start and will only become accessable when you reach Level 10. When you reach level 20, you will be able to unlock the ability to use two, and at level 30 you can utilise three of them at once. The consumables you select should be determined by your Javelin's class and preferred style. Below is a list of versatile consumables that can be used by every class:

• Ultimate Sigil:

Increases damage done with the Ultimate skill by 10%. This consumable can be very useful in missions where you have to defeat powerful bosses (enemies that won't die from a single Ultimate).

• Shield Sigil:

Increases shield resistance by 10% and speeds up shield recovery by 10%. Choose this consumable if you are about to start a mission with multiple elite enemies. You can combine this consumable with Armor Sigil (increases armour).

• Gear Sigil:

Increases abilities' cooldown by 10%. This consumable will allow you to use offensive and defensive skills faster.

• Combo Sigil:

Increases combo damage by 10%. Combo attacks are already powerful. This consumable will make them even more devastating.

How do you Make Consumables

Consumables are made using the Blueprints you find during gameplay, they are not difficult to locate as they are a common loot drop. You will need to do the Stronghold missions to get the Rare and Epic variants that boost your stats considerably more. Apart from the Bluprint you will also need certain embers with rarity that corresponds with the consumable you want to craft. Embers are a resources that you can loot from plants and stashes found in the open. Once you have collected the embers you need, the last step is going into the 'Expedition' menu and donning your Javelin suit and tabbing to the 'Consumables' menu on the right, selecting the Blueprint for the consumable you want to make and then craft it. Once crafted tab over to the Equip menu and select your consumable(s).
