The Biotic Amplifier is a melee weapon in Mass Effect: Andromeda.
Description[]
A specialized biotic amp originally manufactured by the Milky Way's Aldrin Labs, it allows a user to essentially wrap a mass effect field around their fist and strike an opponent with enormous—often staggering—force.
Features[]
The Biotic Amplifier is a basic melee weapon that upgrades the Omni-Blade with a powerful stagger effect on hit without dealing more damage. Higher weapon tiers unlock automatically as Ryder's character level increases, making it unnecessary to invest research points in this weapon.
Strategies[]
Similar to the Omni-Blade, the Biotic Amplifier is a straightforward melee weapon that does not require specialized strategies or skills to be used. Players who rely on its stagger effect are advised to exchange the Amplifier with a Krogan Hammer as soon as possible.
