This article is about the Advanced Training research project available at the research terminal. For the Advanced Training terminal located in the Shadow Broker Base, see Shadow Broker Base#Advanced Training. |
Advanced Training is a research project that grants Shepard a bonus power.
Re-purchasing the Advanced Training research project allows Shepard to select a new bonus power at any time. Any squad points invested in the previous bonus power will be free to redistribute to any power with the exception of one point that will always be assigned to the newly-trained bonus power. The very first time a character learns a bonus power, this point is essentially "free" and isn't drawn from any unspent points. The only way to allocate zero points to a bonus power once one has been unlocked is by using the Retrain Powers research project.
Shepard may only have one bonus power at a time. Once bonus powers have been unlocked purchasing Advanced Training is not required to gain a bonus power on subsequent playthroughs as this can be done in the character creation process for a new character, or the previous bonus power will be carried over if starting a New Game+. The number of available bonus power choices depends upon the number of related achievements being completed; most of these achievements relate to securing the loyalty of a particular squadmate.
*Legendary Edition: Bonus power currently unattainable due to bug. See the Talk Page for more information.
