There's still a lot we don't know about Mass Effect Andromeda, the next entry in the series launching soon on PC and consoles, but members of the team have been sharing new details quite often. Today, the game's lead designer talked about crafting and melee weapons, with the new details painting a rather interesting picture.
Speaking about the Mass Effect Andromeda crafting, Ian S. Frazer said that the possibilities will be endless. Senior Designer Justin Perez designed an assault rifle named FAST and a sniper rifle named FURIOUS in his current playthrough, and Frazer himself mentioned that it's possible to create a krogan-style hammer and name it GRABTHAR'S HAMMER.

PRO TIP: In MEA, you can craft your own krogan-style hammer and name it GRABTHAR'S HAMMER.
That one's free, folks. #space

Additionally, Ian S. Frazier also talked about melee weapons, confirming that the omni-blade seen in previous trailers is just one of them, and that there's a dedicated melee weapon slot.
There's a dedicated melee weapon slot. The omni-blade you start with is just one (though you can upgrade it).
