Loved the characters it does take a little bit to get use to if you've played the original trilogy i liked how the dialogue allows to either be nice or to flirt the loading screens were a bit annoying especially if i forgot to buy something on the nexus the planets were very good and detailed i do wish the ending was a bit more fleshed out imo and had a better boss fight with the archon but overall i thought it was really fun and the movement feels very smooth

the new species like the angaran were cool and to leave it off the Remnant Armor is possibly my favorite armor across the franchise

Can someone please provide a full and comprehensive modding guide for MEA? I keep having issues with the EA app (where MEA is from) and Steam account (where I originally purchased the game).

I want it to run properly without both of these accounts fighting against each other and make the Add-ons (being the Deluxe Edition as a whole) remain fully functional throughout the game itself.

Thank you in advance.

I’ve been googling all the best insanity builds at this point, and throughout all the reddit posts and websites I’ve read, they say that Charged Overload and EMP are the best way to go, but their reasonings confuse me, and so I’m afraid to put points into the wrong perks

Based on what I learned, we choose Charged Overload since Anti-Shield is apparently “overkill” because Overload already does great damage to shields without it. But if that’s the case, then why do we choose EMP if Overload is already great against shields? It’s the exact same perk as Anti-Shield except it does more damage to synthetics

I’m going to add more chain attacks regardless, so why not choose Anti-Shields over Charged Overload and then get Rank 6 Maximum Charge? The only thing that would be lost is the extra damage against synthetics from EMP, but I’d overall have more power damage from Overload while keeping the same amount of chains

I either want to achieve a full damage Overload: {Damage/Anti-Shield/EMP}, or a slightly more CC Overload: {Damage/Anti-Shield/Maximum Charge}. I mainly want to make sure that I’m not missing out on anything, so if anyone could explain how the recommended build is better than my own, or even if I miscalculated something, that would be very much appreciated

Is it worth pushing skills in your main tree(s) to get rank 6 of your profile.

I have rank 5 sentinel, with about 84 points in biotics and 105 in tech. My 3 active abilities and 3 passives ib eacg tree are maxxed out.

I now have a choice keep dumping points in to tech and biotic in active abilities that will be used only situationally, or put some points ic combat tools and fitness to improve survivability (and not get rank 6 profile).

Honestly an extra 5% buff to my tech abilities doesn't seem that impressive compared to the extra health and damage resistance in combat fitness.

Just finished me:le and was able to find a workaround that let me play without any ea app at all, but havent been able to find something similar for andromeda. ea has always refused to let me launch games through the app and i have no desire to try this time as i dont want to reinstall what amounts to literal malware

Hello all, I just reinstalled MEA but when I try to run it, it says it needs administrator privileges and I hit OK. But then nothing happens. What do I do? Frosty Mod Manager also doesn't load the MEA profile, either. It acts like it will but then nothing happens either.

For me, my favorite mission is when you find the Salarian arc and infiltrate the Archon's ship. The game's intensity takes such a leap during this mission, and it just feels so cinematic and exciting! It also has that great choice at the end.

I have noticed during my 4th replay.

The nomad starts to randomly explode when I am driving around veold. And there will be a horizontal thin black line as well.

If I fast travel to avoid exploding, the nomad, crew and Ryder will glitch through the map.

Any idea on how to fix this glitch? So far, all my veold auto saves are glitched and "the save Moshae" is the only save working properly.

Got the Legendary Edition of the first 3 a few months back and replayed them all and decided to give Andromeda a go.

I started it last month and was surprised how much I enjoyed the more laid back open world style. Reminded me of Inquisition a bit which I loved. I'm still fairly invested in the initiative and where the story goes but this bloody wasteland has really fatigued my enjoyment of the game.

I've got the companion missons to do I think as well as a couple more planets on my journal and a hunt for the A-man on the horizon so not sure how far I'm into it.

Please tell me there's no more Kadaras lol.

I’m trying to get the matchmaker trophy with one character by just making a save and reloading it so I don’t have to do 3 seperate characters . I’m trying to do Gil, Jaal, and Reyes I have done it before but I can’t remember where a good spot to save would be to make it most convenient. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I haven’t fully beaten the game so please don’t spoil anything; but I’ve got dozens of systems unlocked and every system seems to have nothing to uncover as far as missions go. In other mass effect games you’d have little one off missions you could randomly stumble upon or things that were unique that could pop up, yet in andromeda it’s like all i can find is experience or items.

So I'm doing a playthrough of the game for the first time in a few years. I keep coming back to thinking The Benefactor is Lexi. I've literally got no evidence for it, but the long term planning ability of a species who live for a thousand years is definitely something that would be helpful.

Anyone think this?

Question about the seeking plasma augment:

1. Does it convert teh projectiles to "fire" which means they get the bonus damage from elemental tech in rank 6 offensive tech?

2. Can the projectiles pierce cover with a receiver mod?

is Sloane supposed to be in this random spot in the Reokaar hideout? or is this a glitch? if it isnt a glitch its kinda funny how Sloane is just here and Reyes doesn't say shit but i highly doubt it isnt a glitch.

has this happened to anyone else?

Summer Sale made me buy the game that I had already played through EA and finished almost 5 years ago. So happy to do it all over it again, actually twice and complete the insanity run to get the achievement, after 303hrs.

For anyone curious, I played as Sentinel as I always did in ME series.

Most of the game, I used the general mobbing profile:

• Tech: Incinerate, Drain Energy
• Biotic: Charge

For Behemoth, Architect, Progenitor and other elites, overtime I switched to another profile:

• Combat: Barrier, Turbocharge
• Tech: Tactical Cloak

Two weapons:

• Auto Hornet SMG for quick kills, especially after charge.
• Auto N7 Valkyrie for more meaty enemies, when keeping some distance.

Armor:

Heleus Chest + Helmet, Adrenaline Fusion Mode

Below is the final main mission run. I captured gear and full skill / weapon setup with gameplay in other videos.

Thanks for this gem, Bioware!

Final mission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVmKZz-YTQY

The ship I'm missing would be above the Tempest and to the right of what looks like a small Remnant ship. Basically upper Right Hand corner of the right wall of ships

I have read Andromeda Nexus and an initiation and now I'm on the audiobook Andromeda annihilation has anyone else read it and did you also find it very dry and boring I'm not through it yet I'm only on chapter four but I'm finding it difficult to push through it and believe me I love the Mass Effect series I've read all the original books from the original series and I love the other two of the Andromeda series but I'm finding this one really difficult is anybody read it and can they tell me does it get better

Logging into the Apex HQ app had not been possible for many years via the standard login process. You couldn’t get in unless you did the “create an account” workaround that allowed you to bypass the normal screen and users could login via a different link.

Unfortunately the workaround seems to have stopped working as of July 2026.

Does anyone know if there is another workaround to be able to login?

I can only imagine that the app is on its absolute final legs, and that now that even less people will login since the workaround doesn’t work, they’re eventually gonna just fully delete it since no one can use it.

Mostly just speaking from a lore perspective, and obviously he cant be a part of anything prior to Aya, but it feels like Angara are so tightly woven into the plot that Jaal has something important to say in regards to practically every story mission. I think the only time I didn't feel like Jaal was important to the story was doing the Asari Ark.
