Mass Effect Andromeda officially drops this month on March 21 for PC, Xbox One, and the PlayStation 4! A March 23rd date is set for the EU release. The loot boxes are completely voluntary and not necessary to the completion of missions. Another neat tid-bit released about the multiplayer is that the maps will be free to play as well as the option for loot boxes, should you choose to ramp up your arsenal. Each strike team has basic traits that are suitable for each mission type, so choose carefully for the optimal chance at success:ĭepending on the mission and if they succeed/fail, they may acquire traits that affect their performance in the future.Įven though the multiplayer tech test was officially cancelled last week, there are still demos at certain booths like at GDC and PAX East. Bigger bonuses the ME3 though I dont know if you can get them without mission funds. Juggy shield is 10 shields & 75 melee boost, ammo one looks to be 75 spare ammo. The risk is high though – for those missions, if your soldiers fail, the mission cannot be attempted again. Reusable Equipment in MP can be purchased with mission funds, and they are pretty huge. If the idea of strike teams appeals to you, you might also enjoy the fact that there will be some of those missions that aren’t available in multiplayer at all. You can still reap the XP bonuses, so have no fear. This strike team will be composed of AI allies that will go where you tell them to in order to complete necessary missions. The ability to send out strike teams is a huge deal – a lot of BioWare fans that had an issue with the focus on MP begged for a strike team option instead so that they could focus on the main story without compromising the outcome. Don't want to play Missions in MP? Send STs out from either SP or MP. On the 6th day of MP-mas, the MP dev team gave to you: Strike Teams. If MP is just not your thing at all, no worries – you can still nab yourself some sweet rewards for the main storyline without having to grind at something that doesn’t interest you.įernando Melo, Andromeda producer, paired up with Ian Frazier on Twitter to give fans a little more insight in response to the burning questions about the multiplayer’s affect on the overall game. With Mass Effect Andromeda’s multiplayer, there will be items and XP that will cross over between the multiplayer and single player campaigns. If you’ve played the Mass Effect 3 MP, you’ll know a big driving force as to why campaign only lovers even tried it out was for the war readiness that the MP offered.
