Shards are in-game currency that can be used in Anthem to buy cosmetic items that customize the appearances of your Javelin exosuits. Remote Play requires PS Vita system and sufficiently robust Wi-Fi connection. Online features require an account and are subject to terms of service and applicable privacy policy (playstationnetwork.com/terms-of-service & playstationnetwork.com/privacy-policy). Anthem free shards sounds like a scam, as it’s rare that a premium currency is just given away. Normally, games hide their most valuable currency behind microtransactions that can only be exchanged for real-world money. Well, BioWare is giving players the chance to get shards without buying them, meaning you can put your wallets away and grind through some tough challenges instead. If you’re curious how exactly you get your hands on these free Anthem Shards, which will enable you to buy some good-looking armor packs or emotes, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s what you need to know.
