Mass Effect Andromeda: 15 Crucial Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

9. Always Carry (And Use) Consumables

As Bioware have all but removed the notion of micro-managing the battlefield through combat and squad mate menus mid-fight, it's easy to forget about your own combat wheel, which governs available weapons and - best of all - your consumables.

Now, you'll need to visit the AVP terminal on the Tempest or in the Nexus to unlock more slots after the initial two, but don't forget to visit General Merchants to stock up on everything from ammo types to throwable explosive discs.

The latter will arc through the air and deliver ludicrous amounts of damage, so keep a supply of consumable items on-hand - they'll replenish shields or vaporise your worst foes, should you find yourself in a pinch.
