Mass Effect Andromeda Things To Do Before You Start Playing

Keep in mind though that these tips are handy for beginners. As you get more and more experienced in the game, it is recommended to find your own play style to get the optimum fun out of the game.

Make Your Own Ryder

The game offers default setups but it is recommended to create your very own character along with chosen historical background and other skills and abilities including the visual appearance.

Don’t Follow Waypoints

Search everywhere. Don’t just stick to the drawn path. This is the only way you can get the most out of the game by looking for additional quests and extra weapons.

Scan Everything

You will need a lot of research data to make the most powerful weapons in the game. Scan everything you come across including corpses, minerals, tech or exotic plants. Scan all kinds of tech available. This is the most important tip as there will be some areas you won’t be able to access again.

Read Everything

There are many datapads and computer terminals in the game having great information. These often trigger side quests or reveal locations of new resources or weapons so be sure to be on the lookout for them. Talk to people as well. Whenever a talk option appears in front of a person, be sure to talk to the person for getting valuable information.

Set Your Custom Skills

Set your favorite skills in the wheel to gain quick access to them. Be sure to experiment with various skills combinations.

Sell All Salvaged Things

Sell all items you don’t think are worth carrying in your inventory. You’ll need that extra cash.

Collect Minerals

Be on the lookout for minerals everywhere. They are required for crafting.

Search All Planets

Check and search all the planets in the systems available. It takes time but you can get a lot of XP from some planets.
