If you’re a big fan of BioWare games, you’ll likely be happy to hear about the Anthem Mass Effect skin featured within the game. Customizing your Javelin with the familiar red and white stripe allows you to show your support of one of the biggest sci-fi game franchises. Unfortunately, the ability to purchase and equip this graphic is a little hidden, with confusing menus acting to keep you from this glorious Vinyl. Happily, we’ve got the solution for you, with this how to unlock the Anthem N7 Vinyl guide. This applies to PC, PS4, and Xbox One versions of the game.
Anthem N7 Vinyl | How to unlock the Mass Effect skin
To unlock the Anthem N7 Vinyl, you’re going to need to head into the Forge area. This is where you customize your Javelin’s equipment and cosmetics. Head to the cosmetic side and select “Vinyl.” Move over to the secondary menu and you’ll see a variety of skins that can be purchased for Coin. The N7 Graphic costs 36,000 Coins.
I personally earned 100,000 Coins during my main story playthrough, so if you fancy buying the Mass Effect skin, be prepared to lose a significant bit of currency.
The Anthem Mass Effect skin is of the Epic variety, not that it really means anything when it comes to cosmetic unlocks, but the purple icon may at least make you feel somewhat special.
There isn’t yet any news on potential discounts for Vinyls, and it’s most likely going to stay at 36,000 Coins to keep things fair for all players. With that said, N7 Day is a thing, and so perhaps we could expect to see some discounts or new Mass Effect skins coming to the game on November 7, 2019. Of course, there isn’t yet any news on that just yet. For now, there’s the Anthem Mass Effect skin for 36,000 Coins. Take it or leave it!

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.
