Controlling Your Javelin on PlayStation 4
Discover the button layout for your javelin in Anthem for PlayStation 4.
The mission of the Freelancers is to use their prowess with the javelins to protect humanity from any threat that may rise. To help you build your skill and ensure your success on missions, we’ve created this guide to the movement, flight, and combat controls of your javelin.
NOTE: As the game is still in development, all game features and controls may be subject to change. We’ll update as necessary.
