Mass Effect Andromeda Guide: How To Use Consumables And Increase Their Slots

If players think that Mass Effect Andromeda will be boring, then they should think again. There are even simple items that they need to acquire such as consumables, although they must increase first their slots since they are very limited.

Finding consumables in Mass Effect Andromeda is not challenging. Players can find them from dead enemies or storage containers. Consumables in the game are almost similar to weapons and armor. It means that they can choose what they want to bring with them.

However, players are seldom using it because they do not know how to use the weapons wheel in the game, according to Polygon. That is the reason why even if players have a lot of consumables, they forget to use them. Nevertheless, controlling and navigating the weapons wheel is not hard.

The weapons wheel is the Tab button on PC, Select for Xbox One and Touchpad for PS4. Once they have opened it, they can use the analog stick in order to see what they can use whenever engaged in a combat or battle.

Next thing they have to do is to hold down the reloading button to swap their primary weapons. The consumables are located at the lower part of the weapons wheel. In addition, they must keep in mind that it will take some time before they can even carry a third weapon in Mass Effect Andromeda.

Players must keep on using the wheel in order to master using the consumables. The only difficult thing with consumables is that their slots are very limited. Players are only allowed to bring two consumables. However, there is a way in order to expand their slots, as per Segment Next.

All they have to do is to spend their AVP or Andromeda Viability Points and to unlock every Cryo pods they see. The loadout slots will expand if the Always Prepared and Versatility perks from Military Cryo pods in Mass Effect Andromeda will be unlocked.

It may take some time before players can even use the consumables and weapons wheel in Mass Effect Andromeda. They need to practice using those two in order to get ahead of their enemies and maximize every item they have.
