Anthem Cosmetics Guide - Current Shop, Available Armor (March 4, 2019)

In Anthem, you have to look good while saving the world. Luckily for you, developer BioWare has included a fancy cosmetics shop where you can purchase all kinds of cosmetic goodies. These include special armor packs, different types of armor materials, graphics, and emotes.

All items are available for purchase using Coins (the in-game currency of Anthem) earned during the course of your gameplay experience. You can also just use Shards. Shards are the premium currency of Anthem. That is to say, you can purchase them with real money through whichever platform store is available to you.

We aren’t sure how often the store refreshes. It initially said once every ten days or so, but a sudden refresh by BioWare now shows that it might be as frequently as once every other day. So keep an eye out for new things! You never know what might wind up catching your eye.

Current Store – Mar. 4, 2019

  • Graphic: Abyssal Depths 36000 Coins or 600 Shards
  • Emote: Robot – 23000 Coins or 475 Shards
  • Fabric: Cotton Star Pattern 1 – 12000 Coins or 300 Shards
  • Decal: Fiend’s Luck – 6000 Coins or 200 Shards
  • Graphic: Deadface – 36000 Coins or 600 Shards
  • Graphic: Midnight Shield – 12000 Coins or 300 Shards

Anthem Shard Prices

As you would expect, the price of Shards in Anthem depends on the size of the bundle you buy. The more Shards you buy at once, the better conversion rate you get. And if you’re an Origin Access Premium member, you also get a 10 percent discount on them! That’s not actually a bad deal, since Premier members get Anthem without having to pay for the base game.

  • 500 Shards ($5) – 100 Shards per U.S. dollar
  • 1050 Shards ($10) – 105 Shards per U.S. dollar
  • 2200 Shards ($20) – 110 Shards per U.S. dollar
  • 4600 Shards ($40) –  115 Shards per U.S. dollar
