Controlling Your Javelin on Xbox One
Check out the button layout for flying and fighting in your javelin in Anthem.

As a Freelancer, your skill as a pilot and your ability to seamlessly control every one of your javelin’s systems is paramount to not just success on your mission – but on your very survival. To help you understand the totality of the power you’ll wield as a lancer, we have created this guide to the 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.
