Among the many features that have been shown in the trailer, there were also melee attacks, which seem like will play a big part in the Mass Effect Andromeda combat system. Mac Walters elaborated on these attacks, noting how they are standard attacks, but that can still be upgraded in ways yet to be detailed.
Only one melee attack??? I think I saw three ;). Also, standard. But upgradable. Stay tuned for details.
