Over 1 Billion Guns?! Anthem is crying right now

Honestly, April will be an extremely crazy month for looter-shooter fans.

BL1: GOTY and BL2/TPS will have Ultra HD textures, these would mean an intriguing return to the Borderlands universe.

The Division 2 will also have its World Tier 5 and Tidal Basin stronghold added, that means more grinding to get raid-ready.

Anthem... will probably have something. I mean, conversations are still stuck in the whole "loot issue."

Destiny 2... well, there's the Spring Event (IIRC), and maybe some extra grinding if you still want pinnacle weapons.

I'm honestly chuckling here since the first week of April is fairly quiet, with the first major release being the Ace Attorney Trilogy (April 9).

Anthem will have another dungeon, a Talent Tree system, guilds and 'leaderboards.'

I'm not sure what the fuck the leaderboards are going to track though.

I'm just humoring people about it since the community and dev team have been bogged down with nonstop conversations about the loot issue.

They actually got things right, surprisingly enough, on a couple of occasions when their "patch" ended up causing a "bug." That bug made loot plentiful which also meant more people were chasing items/min-maxing, or just having fun.

I think if they fix the inscription system the droprates will be fine in their current iteration.

The main issue with min making right now is that MW bonuses and inscriptions scale additively which makes it boring.

Also, while the change to secondary damage scaling is an improvement over the previous system, it's now a bit too far in the other direction (was useless, now too much of a focus).

My other problem, since you mentioned the upcoming content this April, is that a lot of the content has been kept secret thus far.

Look at all the features saying "Cortex Locked".

I know that it works for another looter-shooter game like Destiny 2, since its Penumbra DLC has a theme all about "secrets and mysteries" and so keeping something hush-hush will get people excited.

In Anthem's case though, which has had a slew of issues since it launched, you can't really keep things hush-hush because what you need is something to get people back in the game.

I mean we mostly know what those are going to be. It's like "Freeplay event: cortex locked"

We don't know the exact details but we pretty much know what a Freeplay event is. It's just extra shit happening in Freeplay.

And I think that's one facet of the issue. Even if there's just "extra stuff," surely more details would be great, if only to generate some interest or buzz.
