Out now on Xbox One, PC, and PS4, Anthem features a fair number of bugs and glitches (as you’d expect from a large online game). One such bug is the Anthem missing voices error. If you have come across an NPC that won’t let you speak to them, you know how annoying this error is. Read on to discover the Anthem missing voices error fix.
Anthem Missing Voices | What is the characters not speaking bug?
While playing Anthem in its hub world (Fort Tarsis), you may notice that you can’t speak to characters that you should be able to. Infuriatingly, these will be characters that you are meant to talk to. This means that NPCs with quests for you won’t be able to give them to you. You won’t be able to go over to them and press the button to talk, because the message to talk to them simply won’t be there.
It’s a more than annoying bug as it means you can’t progress the game when you should be able to. Thankfully, there is a fix out there if you have encountered this issue in Anthem. Read on to discover how to fix the characters not speaking bug.
Anthem Missing Voices error fix
Unfortunately, the fix we’re about to suggest isn’t an official one. It has worked for us, however, so it should work for you too. If you are encountering an NPC that won’t let you speak to them simply try exiting the game and reloading into Fort Tarsis. Once you are back to the same character that wasn’t speaking before, they should be speaking now. If not, try exiting and reloading in again. If it still doesn’t work, try heading onto the official Anthem support forums to try and raise Bioware and EA’s attention.
While this is a fix that should work, hopefully, EA and Bioware can fix the issue via a patch so it doesn’t happen in the first place. Fingers crossed.

Everything You Need to Know About Anthem's Javelins
So, you're diving into Anthem? Not sure which of the mech suits to climb into first? We've taken them all for a test flight, cooled off under the waterfall, and returned with the lowdown on all four. Here's everything you need to know about Anthem's Javelins. -
Ranger
No matter your preference, you'll be starting your Anthem run in a Ranger. Described as the all around jack of all trades, the Ranger can slot into any situation and round out any team. Rangers can dash across short distances and strike foes with a devastating Shock Mace. -
Lock and Load
As for gear, a Ranger can pack grenades or cannon blasts. These range from elemental bombs to heat-seeking missiles. Rangers can support their team with a bubble shield that protects from foes or enhances damage. Finally, the Ranger's ultimate is a volley of missiles that can hit dozens of enemies at once. -
Colossus
For a mech game, Anthem sure does have some agile suits. If you want a more traditional giant robot experience, may we suggest the Colossus? The biggest of the four Javelins, the Colossus is a tank that blasts into battle with a mounted flamethrower and several ordinances. -
Prepare for Titanfall
The Colossus is all about busting things up. Whether that's with various mortars, a literal firewall or a burst of lightning, you'll be charging through foes and making a lot of noise. There's also a Railgun and a Flak Cannon to strap on if you want to get even more up close and personal. -
Interceptor
You want fast? Pick the Interceptor. With an innate triple jump and three dashes, you'll be moving all around the battlefield as you pepper opponents with shots. Mark enemies with your Target Beacon to single them out and boost damage across your team. Or, just focus in yourself with this mech's range of different systems. -
The Need for Speed
Interceptor players shine in the melee arena. Among their options are an electrifying dash attack, several different elemental ninja stars, and poisonous options for decaying large groups of foes. You can also do the Naruto thing and create duplicates to confuse your opponents before hitting your final strike. -
Storm
Of all the Javelins in Anthem, the Storm is the most unique. It's not every day that your robot suit is slinging magic spells like some kind of wizard from the moon. Storms can hover in mid-air away from danger and pepper the field with damage. -
Bringing the Thunder
You've got everything you'd expect from an elemental warrior. Ice beams, lightning bolts, frost shards, and fireballs, all at your fingertips. When you charge your ultimate, you can combine all the elements into a torrent of energy that can wipe out a whole squadron. -
What's Next for Javelins?
Storm, Colossus, Ranger, and Interceptor. These are the four Javelins that Freelancers can pilot in their Anthem adventures. Will we see more variety in future Javelin designs? New abilities for existing warriors? New chances for combo attacks? Only time and BioWare's roadmap can say for sure.
