Nomad is the land based vehicle in Mass Effect Andromeda that you will use to explore Locations. It is a 6 wheel drive all purpose vehicle that will be your mobile ally when setting up outposts and engaging in open combat.
Nomad Information
- The Nomad is the game's exploration vehicle. Planet exploration involves combat encounters, puzzles and stories to discover. Some will have bosses you will have to return to later to defeat.
- The Nomad does not have its own Weapons systems.
- It features a rear boost for an extra bit of planet scouting speed.
- It can assist in helping you mine for resources and set up forward stations on planets.
- The Nomad also allows you to scan surfaces and mine them for Minerals.
- The game's dynamic cover system allows you to use the Nomad for cover in Combat.
- The Nomad's life support systems can protect you from hazards longer than your combat armor but not for an unlimited time. The Nomad will begin to take damage once life support is depleted.
Calling Down the Nomad
It is stored in the Tempest when not in use, and deploys when you land on a planet. It does not have guns on it, but its controls are an improvement over the Mako. You can call the Nomad down from activated outposts that you set up on colonies.
Nomad Upgrades
You can research and develop upgrades to the Nomad in Crafting. Thrusters, shield, shield blast, life support, radar and paint jobs can all be customized how you see fit, depending on the conditions of the planet you're exploring.
