Interceptor Javelin Information
The Interceptor is a lightning-fast and highly maneuverable javelin in Anthem. It excels at getting close and dealing damage to enemies before dashing away before they can respond. Despite its high offensive potential, it has scant armor, so players are required to move around to avoid damage.
