Arms Merchant
Complete 12 Ranger Gear I Challenges
How to unlock the Arms Merchant achievement in Anthem - Definitive Guide
You can track your progress by pressing , then browse to Challenges -> Gear -> Ranger. Select the ability you want to track and hit .
The 12 Ranger gear challenges required for this achievement are:
Bulwark Point I
Venom Darts I
Seeker Grenades I
Frost Grenade I
Blast Missile I
Frag Grenade I
Inferno Grenade I
Muster Point I
Pulse Blast I
Seeking Missile I
Spark Beam I
Sticky Grenade I
The abilities drop in the world or in any mission, but only if you have the correct javelin equipped while you look for them. This isn't as bad as it looks as missions are completed in 10 minutes and you can equip 3 abilities at the same time.
The fastest way to level these up would be to go to Freeplay with coop partners. Take off in different directions and let each other know when you found a world event, then join up. World events can be completed in under 5 minutes and will count toward the challenge. They can easily be done solo as well (set the difficulty to easy if you have to) but can sometimes be a bit hard to find.
If you're doing this solo then I recommend combining this with the Explorer achievements for maximized efficiency.
Equip Gear for the respective Challenge and complete:
4 Missions or
4 Contracts or
4 Strongholds or
4 World Events in Freeplay (quickest option IMO)
Press browse to Challenges >> Gear >> Ranger and check your progress.
The problem with this Achievement is the high RNG factor. You can obtain Gear as random drops after killing enemies or opening chests - you have no possibility to influence anything here.
I had to grind for a whole week the daily Legendary Missions/Legendary Contracts as well as the normal Contracts (Freelancer/Sentinel/Arcanist) to finally acquire Sticky Grenades which was the only Gear that was missing for me to complete the Ranger Gear I Challenges. Very annyoing!
You will curse the game.
You will think the game is even more bugged.
You will think that the Gear you need does not exist.
Grit your teeth and just hang in there! If I can unlock this Achievment - then you can do it as well!
Additionally, you have the option to buy Weapons and Gear for 2000 Gold each in the Regulator Store every week. But again, it's bare RNG that you can't influence.
Therefore I can only give the following tips:
Visit the Regulator Store once a week.
Play all Missions/Contracts/Strongholds/Freeplay on Difficulty "NORMAL" because the rarity is not decisive for the Achievement. The main thing is that you have it equipped for your Javelin!
Personal note: This is my first guide. Constructive feedback is welcome!
You will find 13 challenges available -- one for completing four matches or open world events with a specific piece of gear equipped, and a final one for completing all 12 of the Ranger challenges.
You pick up the gear as random mission rewards and from dead enemies. You can add two weapon gear and one support gear at once at the Forge. Once you have completed four missions with one set, head to the Forge and equip the next set to continue making progress towards the trophy.

The Ranger is one of the four javelin types in the game. You will unlock javelins at Levels 2, 8, 16, and 28.
Javelin challenges task you with completing four missions or world events with a specific item equipped. You can equip up to three items from the list below at the same time, though only two go in the support slot, meaning you need a minimum of 20 missions to do four missions with each item. You do not begin the game with one of each type, so be sure to complete some events to get chests and return to the Fort to get the loot after completing a few challenges, then swap for new items and head back out.
For the Ranger, complete challenges for the following items: Bulwark Point, Frag Grenade, Seeking Missile, Blast Missile, Frost Grenade, Inferno Grenade, Muster Point, Pulse Blast, Seeker Grenades, Spark Beam, Sticky Grenade, and Venom Darts.
Each Grenade, Assault Launcher, and Support Gear that you loot have a base challenge for using them in four missions or world events. These are random loot drops and could take a little bit to acquire all 12. The most efficient way is to equip what you can and fly around doing world events. It's much faster than four missions.

Options - Challenges - Equipment - your javelin.
For this weapon there are items with the number 4 - these are the 4 missions for each weapon.
Once you finish everything, the trophy is yours.
For some of these weapons you will need to choose difficulty and complete the fortress!
