BioWare’s Community Cortex gave us the usual insights of what is coming with the Anthem Week 8 of the winter-themed Icetide in-game event. Two new armor packs are being added to the Featured Store, while Heart of Rage comes back along with its own challenges!
Last Friday BioWare added the Ranger and Storm Icetide winter armor packs to the Featured Store. What we all expected, is now confirmed – the Interceptor and Colossus packs are arriving this week!
The Featured Store will have its two regular refreshes. On Tuesday we will get two wraps on the main slots. On Friday these slots will be taken by the long-awaited Snowdrift Armor Pack and Frost Tusk Armor Pack.

You can check out the two armor packs in the preview of the Icetide Featured Store I posted a few weeks ago. And I already have the Tuesday Featured Store refresh review ready and up!
Last week a small patch (Update 1.6.2) was added that fixes some of the core issues and bugs with the game and mostly with the currently running Icetide event.
BioWare also announced that Icetide has been extended through February. There is no date set for when exactly it will end, unless you rely on the challenges’ timers in-game.
The Seasonal Store gets a refresh this week too. As you might expect, nothing new is added to it. If you have purchased all items from the Seasonal Store during the original Cataclysm, you are all set for the Icetide’s Seasonal Store too. The War Chests would be your only goal there now.
| ITEMS | CRYSTALS |
|---|---|
| War Chest: Legendary Component | 5000 |
| War Chest: Legendary Weapon | 5000 |
| War Chest: Legendary | 5000 |
| War Chest: Legendary Ranger | 5000 |
| War Chest: Legendary Storm | 5000 |
| Wrap: Neon Shard | 2600 |
| War Chest: Legendary Interceptor | 5000 |
| War Chest: Legendary Colossus | 5000 |
| Graphic: Night Lattice | 2300 |
The Seasonal Stornghold for this week’s rotation is once again Heart of Rage. It is likely your favorite as it’s the shortest and probably easiest one to complete.
If you have any issues finding the Icetide-related secrets or solving the puzzles that you will find inside, check out the Heart of Stone Icetide Guide. It will save you some time and earn you extra crystals by showing you all available spawn locations for all items inside the stronghold.
If you are a fan of the lore stories BioWare has been publishing alongside the in-game event this Season, you might be disappointed to read that nothing is planned for this week, but a special story is coming next!
“Lastly, as you may have noticed, there’s no lore story to discuss this week, but for good reason! We’re taking our time with this last one since it’s, well…let’s just say it’s a little different than the others. The BioWare writing team really had some fun with it, so we can’t wait to share it with you all!“
That’s it all for Anthem Icetide Week 8. As always you can check out my full reviews of the Featured Store refreshes on Tuesday and Friday here on VULKK.com.
