Bioware isn’t giving up on Andromeda…’s Multiplayer yet!
Bioware announced what the studio is planning for Mass Effect Andromeda’s multiplayer in the coming months. The single player may have been announced “dead”, but the cooperative multiplayer mode is still supported by the studio. Here’s what you can expect to see:
- 3 new character kits
- challenging weekly APEX missions that play on the strengths on these new kits
October plans
In October, the Human Artificer joins APEX. This genius programmer in a suit of Remnant Tech Armor is a highly-capable support character. Invasion and Cryobeam weaken and disable enemies, while the Remnant VI adds DPS and opportunities for combo detonations.
We’re also adding a new assault rifle to the weapon pool—the Sovoa. This semi-automatic rifle fires energy blasts that cause a shockwave-like explosion upon impact. The elegance of the single-beam blast matches the rifle’s sleek design. The Sovoa, translated to “lights out,” is the first weapon developed by Taravay Industries, a new manufacturer co-founded by angara and turians. A product of two galaxies, the rifle combines Milky Way kinetic coils with angaran explosives.
November plans
In November, the Human Commando and Guardian join the fray. The Commando wields a combination of biotic and combat abilities to devastating effect. Capable of dealing high-level biotic damage, the Commando can also disable groups of enemies with Warp and Singularity before finishing them off with a Turbocharge volley.
The Guardian is a defensive powerhouse, whose tools are designed to keep him and his teammates alive. With Shield Boost and Backlash to shore up defenses, he can also disable enemies and create combos with Warp.
Despite the announcement of no new patches being planned, the studio promises that they keep looking into the community’s ideas and suggestions. There will be a special mission for N7 Day (7th November).
