Fan expectations of games are what make or break a series. With the announcement of the third installment of The Witcher coming out, fans have high hopes for the game and the content. And one great example of a game meeting the fans' expectations was the remastered edition of Mass Effect.
Renewed and revamped Mass Effect Legendary Edition is loved by fans and critics alike. And one thing that fans enjoyed was the updated weapons and armor. And when it comes to facing up with the Reapers, one can never have too many armor upgrades.
Medical Exoskeleton
There are plenty of hard decisions to make in Mass Effect, but one thing that shouldn't be a hard decision is picking up a medical upgrade. And the Medical Exoskeleton is an upgrade that is essential to any armor type chosen for Shepard.
The Medical Exoskeleton is not only great for health regeneration but also the cooldown reduction. Health regeneration should be focused on and made a priority to make sure Shepard is up to par to fight in every battle.
Kinetic Exoskeleton
There are many things to consider when it comes to these upgrades, especially when considering what other upgrades would work best and what would be beneficial in the long run. And if there is one thing that the dedicated fans of the Mass Effect franchise know is the importance of the Kinetic Exoskeleton upgrade.
Consider making this upgrade the one that is kept in line with the Medical Exoskeleton due to its increase in shields and shield recovery. It also helps in boosting mobile accuracy and is great for frontline fighters. But if the frontline is not the players fighting style, it should not stop them from getting this important upgrade to keep them safe from enemy fire.
Combat Exoskeleton
In the Legendary Edition, there will always be some great advice given to Mass Effect players on how to start. And if the player is going to be a frontline fighter, one tip is to keep the armor upgrade known as the Combat Exoskeleton in mind.
Keep in mind that this is a good upgrade for any player, but it does benefit frontline fighters a lot. This upgrade increases protection against normal damage and enemy abilities. And it also adds plus damage in melee fighting.
Kinetic Buffer
If there is one thing players don't want to do is make terrible decisions when playing the Legendary Edition. And when considering what good choices to make, one of them includes adding the Kinetic Buffer upgrade.
The Kinetic Buffer is a good upgrade for players to use due to its handy ability to increase stats for the player in a diverse manner. It's a weaker form of the Kinetic Exoskeleton, but it is still a handy upgrade to add a slight boost in the stats area.
Energized Plating
When it comes to these upgrades, especially when considering what other upgrades would work best and what would be beneficial in the long run. And Energized Plating is one of those upgrades that could prove helpful for the player.
Energized Plating is a good upgrade that assists in protecting both Shepard and the crew. It provides raw damage protection and is considered a good upgrade for later in the game. It's not as important as the previously mentioned upgrades, but it's always good to have.
Shield Interface
If the player does decide to go with the Energized Plating, there is one thing that could help boost its effectiveness and make it a bit more powerful. To add that extra boost, players will want to consider adding on the Shield Interface.
The Shield Interface is a welcomed addition in any kind of situation and works well with the Energized Plating. It assists the player in monitoring incoming enemy fire and redirects the energy to the vulnerable points. This increases the armor's kinetic barrier shields.
Energized Weave
Shield Interface is a good upgrade, but it could be better. And one complimentary upgrade that helps and should be looked at if the player is interested in the Shield Interface is the Energized Weave.
To really get that extra boost for the shield that can always be helpful in any situation, the Energized Weave is great for defensive purposes. This upgrade helps protect against enemy abilities and allows for the shield to recover faster using advanced firewall technology.
Stimulant Pack
Some upgrades, while handy, are not the most important. These upgrades can help, but they are not the end all be all of the armor upgrades. This also depends on the player's preferences and how they wish to play, and one of these upgrades that could be great for some but not others is the Stimulant Pack.
The Stimulant Pack is a solid pick for early on in the game for the ability-reliant classes. It does have a cooldown reduction, releasing shots of adrenaline to speed up recovery and recharge times. If this is going to be a player's upgrade pick, they should also consider the medical upgrades to help!
Shield Regenerator
Returning to the shield upgrades is the Shield Regenerator. While it's not as strong as the Energized Weave, it's a good add-on upgrade if the player is working on upgrading their shield.
Adding on the Shield Regenerator can help players if they tend to get hit more often by enemy fire. It is also a secondary power source that can help increase the rate of replenishment in the kinetic barrier capacitors.
Ablative Coating
Keeping the player's armor in tip-top shape is essential, and even small additions can be helpful. If the player wants to add extra protection, they should consider the Ablative Coating.
Ablative Coating is to help armor do its most important job, protecting the player. The coating upgrade is designed to protect against impact and redirect the energy of incoming fire away from the body. However, to do this, the coating does chip away with every hit. So it's important to keep that in mind as well.
