How to unlock the Epic Talent achievement in Anthem - Definitive Guide

You need to raise your javelins power level to 400ish. I personally got it at power level 395 but as confirmed by WEBHEAD 7 and Apache117X it did not pop for them until PL 410.

At pilot level 30 masterwork gear (orange) starts to become available in the game which give your javelin a rather big boost from the current level (see screenshot for reference). The biggest chance to get one to drop on normal or hard difficulty is probably by doing a stronghold or completing missions in freeplay since item drops seem to be the most frequent there.

Grandmaster I difficulty will drop all the masterwork weapons and becomes available at pilot level 30 but has a recommended javelin level of 400+ .

Good luck, Freelancers!

These achievements never seemed to pop for me. They also don't count for the Legendary Javelin challenge... I've only ever gotten them to pop by doing story missions. Strongholds never count for me. If you're having an issue, try doing a random story mission. As for them not counting in the Legendary challenge, I've still not figured out what to do about that.

My ranger javelin didn't change to epic until 410, not 395... any idea why the difference?

Mine didn’t change until 410, I’m not sure if 390 is correct? Maybe they changed it in an update?

I had my Intercepter up to 461, still saying epic, and no achievement despite doing Strongholds, Contracts, Legendary Msn, or Freeplay. However, thanks to Dislodged suggestion, it popped right away by going to the Javelin start menu and selecting QUICKPLAY: Random Mission.

My Interceptor is at 433 and still considered rare. Perhaps you need a minimum of epic gear equipped in all slots for it to count? I still have a few blue pieces of gear and components equipped because I haven't found better yet. My masterworks assault rifle is what pushed me up that high along with some 35 power level purple gear.

Edit - It finally rolled over to epic when I hit 460 power level. I still had 2 rare pieces equipped, the rest were epic and masterworks. I'll PM you pics.

I can confirm that the information wolfsburgraz stated in the above comment is correct as I unlocked this achievement a few days ago after my javelin reached a power level of 460 and upon completing a contract.

@Belgianplayer1: Bummer! Anthem changed a lot and has been patched many times since the solution was created. Can you confirm that it reads Epic next to your javelin?

Next, did it flag the in-game challenge as completed? There was a way to check it, I'm sure. Haven't played in a long time so I couldn't check myself.

To unlock the Epic Talent trophy in Anthem, you will need to increase the Gear Score of one of your Javelin's until it reaches the Epic (purple) level. The Gear Score required is 395. The overall Javelin's level must be Epic.

The gear score is an average of all of your gear. The higher the score, the higher the rarity. Once you have reached the Epic level with a Javelin, complete a mission, contract, or stronghold and the trophy will unlock at the end.

The rarity of your javelin is dependent on your gear score. To upgrade to an epic javelin, you will need a gear score of 400.

Your javelin will become epic when it hits the 395 light mark.
