In what seems to be the first of many videos and sneak peeks to come, BioWare has just released a combat trailer for its upcoming game Mass Effect: Andromeda. In the video, players and fans would be able to see the weapons, abilities and new features that BioWare will apply to make Mass Effect: Andromeda a bit different from its predecessors.
New Features
In an article by Gamespot, BioWare has introduced a few new features to the game. A jet pack can be used by the players, where they can strategically position themselves to gain an advantage at any moment, especially during firefights. According to BioWare, with the introduction of the jet pack, Mass Effect: Andromeda would offer players an amazing freedom of movement. Also, with the ability to use anything for a cover, BioWare can stay true to what they said, that their goal is to give players the freedom and tools to accomplish missions the way they like.
Weapons And Abilities
According to PC Gamer, it is shown in the video that players would be able to equip 4 types of weapons such as Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, and Hand Cannons. Each weapon class will have different types of technology that the player can choose from such as Milky Way, all weapon classes and type that were brought from the Milky Way, Remnant, which is heat based weapons, and Helios, which are plasma type weapons. Each technology will allow the players to experience a different gameplay, as they offer different traits and characteristics. Also, unlike Mass Effect 2, players and characters are not restricted to any weapon types, so the player has the freedom to choose whatever weapon they want to use in the game.

For those who are not familiar with Mass Effect, upgrading the Combat skills tree would improve weapon damage and accuracy, it would also allow the players to use special weapons and grenades. Upgrading the Tech tree would allow players to use advanced technology and equipment to deal with any situation.Lastly, upgrading the Biotic tree would allow players to use unique abilities that control and manipulate mass and gravity.
Mass Effect: Andromeda is expected to be released on March 21, 2017, however, for now, excited players and fans can look forward to the coming weeks as BioWare reveal more details about the upcoming game.
