Mass Effect: Andromeda features fluid combat and exploration controls. Movement is standard for a third-person shooter, with dedicated buttons for sprinting, jumping, and dodging. The jump-jet is a key traversal tool, allowing you to reach higher ledges and quickly reposition in combat. Combat controls involve aiming, shooting, and activating powers. You can assign up to three active powers to quick slots. Remember to utilize cover effectively by pressing the cover button near environmental objects. Mastering these basic controls is essential for surviving the hostile environments of the Heleus Cluster.
