Mass Effect 4 Andromeda: 12 Brand New Details You Need To Know

8. Omni-Tool Gets More Abilities - Instant Shield

it took Bioware three games to rework the functionality of the wrist-mounted omni-tools, going from easy-access miniature computers, through to holographic blades you could deploy for instantly-gratifying melee attacks. For Andromeda, they're continuing down that same path, expanding the piece of kit to also have a range of one-button functions, starting with a defensive shield that'll activate instantly. This should aid in combat considerably, as although Mass Effect's cover system was robust and effective, saving up a power meter and deploying it to trigger a shield, before barreling down a causeway and taking out one last enemy, is sure to be a highlight.
