Complete 12 Interceptor Gear I Challenges

How to unlock the Gadgets Galore achievement in Anthem - Definitive Guide

Just as with the Weapon Challenges the gear challenges for each javelin are also quite similar. All you have to do is play a total of 4 missions or world events with specific abilities equipped on your Interceptor javelin.

You can track your progress by pressing cn_start, then browse to Challenges -> Gear -> Interceptor. Select the ability you want to track and hit cn_X.

The 12 Interceptor gear challenges required for this achievement are:

Cluster Mine I
Cryo Glaive I
Detonating Strike I
Plasma Star I
Rally Cry I
Searching Glaive I
Spark Dash I
Target Beacon I
Tempest Strike I
Venom Bomb I
Venom Spray I
Wraith Strike 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. laugh

That’s exactly what I meant. Good one about world events will add it to solution in a bit!

I got very unlucky on this, took me 40 world events and 2 replay missions to get the final ability to unlock after already doing the other abilities.

Each step of a weekly stronghold counts as 1 mission/event. But I didn’t get yet how to make them count, cause sometimes I got 4/4 with one run, sometimes 3/4 and other 1/4. Maybe each step of the stronghold has to be completed doing a specific task?

Has anyone checked that the achievement is "complete 12 gear challenges" vs "complete 12 rank 1 gear challenges"? I got the achievement and I know I didn't complete everything on this list.

Not sure if this is a known exploit or something but for some reason, completing the seasonal challenge counted as all 4 for the required gear 1 challenge for me even though I only completed it once. I'll test it again since I only have the Colossus challenges left now.

Might have been luck, I completed a seasonal challenge and it still counted as 1.

When you say free play doesn't count do you mean you can't just enter free play then leave? Because the world events in free play definitely count.

I am having a lot of trouble getting Searching Glaive to drop. I've been farming it for hours and it's the last skill I need. I'm doing Strongholds on GM1. It hasn't dropped in about 8 hours of farming. Is there a better option for farming it?

To unlock the Gadgets Galore trophy in Anthem, you will need to complete 12 of the Interceptor Gear challenges which can be found by opening the Menu > Challenges > Gear > Interceptor

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 Interceptor 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 Interceptor 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 Interceptor, complete challenges for the following items: Target Beacon, Spark Dash, Wraith Strike, Plasma Star, Venom Bomb, Cluster Mine, Cryo Glaive, Detonating Strike, Rally Cry, Searching Glaive, Tempest Strike, and Venom Spray.

Each Assault System, Strike System, and Support System 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.

Assault System:

  • Cluster Mine
  • Cryo Glaive
  • Searching Glaive
  • Spark Dash
  • Venom Bomb

Strike System:

  • Detonating Strike
  • Plasma Star
  • Tempest Strike
  • Venom Spray
  • Wraith Strike

Support System:

  • Rally Cry
  • Target Beacon

We complete four contracts, missions, story missions, or in a free game of world events (something like events that randomly appear on the map) by wearing

in the assault system category:
- flash,
- poison bomb,
- cluster mine,
- bloodhound blade,
- cryoblade;

in the category impact system:
- explosive blow,
- plasma star,
- ghostly blow
- poison sprayer,
- concussive blow;

in the support system category:
- call for unity,
- target beacon;

Challenge in progress - Interceptor Gear Master I.

Important:
1) fortresses do not count,
2) trophies related to tests for equipment and weapons may potentially become unattainable (my light machine guns are bugged), we are waiting for a patch

The fastest way to farm is to go into a quick game (random game), very often it ends up in the middle or end of missions, where we save time

The fortress does count, there are a couple of separate ones where you need to complete a mission or a world event, but there the fortress does not count. I also noticed that if you go through a seasonal event (where the fortress is) it immediately counts as 4/4
