Mass Effect: Andromeda Trailer Breakdown: Everything We Know So Far

5. The Equipment

Mass Effect Andromeda
BioWare

As seen in the first trailer for Andromeda, we'll also be getting our hands on jet packs. Yes. Jet packs. While they have exploration uses, as you'd expect, for covering ground faster and allowing you to gain access to areas you couldn't normally, there are also combat implication for the jet pack as well.

The jet pack has a hover function that can be used to gain a tactical advantage over enemies in cover, or in elevated positions, adding a new tactical layer to combat as well as exploration.

While exploring the Andromeda galaxy, you'll come across new materials and unknown components. These are useful in terms of your equipment as the game will feature a crafting system that will allow you to develop new gear, as well as improving and customizing your existing weapons and equipment.
