The latest update to Mass Effect's Andromeda Initiative training hub serves up an introduction to the most valuable tools in every interstellar explorer's kit: guns. But not just guns! There are also knives, clubs, biotics, and even jetpacks, which are tremendously handy for finding better places to shoot from. 

The video provides a concise overview of the options available to players when conversations with their new neighbors don't work out. Some of it has been covered previously, but it's a good, quick catch-up, especially if you're just tuning in—and if you're aiming to get the "Pathfinder-grade helmet" that's on offer at the Andromeda Initiative website, you'll want to watch the whole thing over there.   

We've got a big round-up of Mass Effect: Andromeda hands-on coverage for you here, and also the not-insubstantial system requirements, which were revealed today. Mass Effect: Andromeda comes out March 21 in North America, and March 23 in Europe.
