Traditional Mass Effect classes like Infiltrator and Vanguard are now relegated to “profiles” that players can unlock after accessing a certain number of pre-requisite abilities. So yes, you can now create a black hole to suck in enemies with a biotic Singularity and then burn them all up with Flamethrower, a tech ability. But the latest one confirms that players will have access to every ability. The first video in this series focused on the slick new combat system, specifically weapons and character movements.
A new gameplay trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda dropped on Thursday, and it offers a closer look at the player’s new squadmates and the reveal that now gamers can switch classes on the fly. It used to be that Mass Effect players were locked into whatever class they’d selected for their Commander Shepard for an entire game, but it appears that there’s going to be a lot more flexibility in the next installment.
