This weapon was actually supposed to be just decoration in Mass Effect: Andromeda, but now fans are demanding its implementation as a full-fledged gun.
The weapon selection in Mass Effect: Andromeda is already relatively large and allows for a lot of customization through modifications and augmentations. However, players have noticed that there are some weapons that are not available, which keep appearing in cutscenes. After some players asked the developers directly on Twitter where they could find the weapons from the cutscenes and certain blueprints used in menus, it quickly became clear: nowhere.
This seems strange to the players, as why shouldn’t the weapons from the cutscenes, which make the characters look particularly cool, also be available in the game?
Ian S. Frazier, one of the developers at BioWare, has now explained that the weapon depicted is the X5 Ghost, or the AAX5. A weapon that only serves an aesthetic purpose in cutscenes and lies around as “decoration” in the game world.
But that doesn’t end the topic. Because many players desire exactly this weapon, it could be the case that in a future patch, the X5 Ghost is made available in the game.
BioWare can relatively easily add new weapons in patches, as demonstrated on the weekend after the game launch with a character and a weapon in multiplayer mode. The weapon was then also available in the single-player campaign.
Generally, there are still many weapons from the “Mass Effect” series that are not present in Andromeda. The story reason for this is probably that they simply weren’t exported to the Heleus Cluster. However, maybe in the future, there will be the occasional crate from smugglers bringing back special favorites to the game.
Perhaps BioWare is not even to blame for the terrible facial animations in Mass Effect: Andromeda.
