Only 10 more days!
Since I know you guys are all wondering, here are all the things we know about the Nomad, Mass Effect: Andromeda‘s equivalent of everyone’s my favorite physics-defying tank.
#6. You can return to the Tempest from the Nomad at any time without going into the menu screen, simply by holding down the evacuation button.
#5.5. There is an evacuation button.
#5. It does not have a turret or any other type of gun.
#4. The Nomad, like the Mako, can effectively kill people by running them over.
#3. Controls are similar to the Mako, except a little tighter
#2. To climb up impossible inclines or perform otherwise-physically-impossible driving maneuvers, the Nomad has a “second gear” it can use in those instances. So now it has a clear reason for being able to defy physics, other than “Screw you. I’m the Mako.”
#2. Even if you don’t purchase the super-duper Collector’s Edition of the game, BioWare made little die-cast replicas of the Nomad so you can have your own itty bitty tank.
#1.5. It’s not technically a tank, since it doesn’t have a gun.
#1. It doesn’t bounce 😦
But my question is: does it still hop?
What’s your best (or most vivid) Mako memory? Are you looking forward to ground exploration in Mass Effect: Andromeda? Let me know in the comments!
Until next time, thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you soon!

So long as it doesn’t control like utter arse, I’m happy. That PlayStation controller picture made me feel ill though…

Yeah it seems like the Nomad will have better, “tighter” controls, so no awful controller necessary…. haha

I know! Reminds me of when Cortez and Vega are arguing over whether the Mako or the Hammerhead is better… obviously the Mako… haha

Thank you for the post! I’m super excited for the new Mass Effect game. One of my friend’s husband is OBSESSED with Mass Effect so I know he is really pumped about it! Have a great weekend!

This tank thing looks so damn fun to drive around in! Yet another reason why I need to play Mass Effect before my life’s Game Over. 🙂
