Mass Effect Andromeda Best Armor - Stats & How to get
The best armor sets in Mass Effect: Andromeda can be crafted, although you can also expect them to drop from enemies, or find them inside large containers. They are most efficient if used with a specific skill tree. For example, if you are a fan of Tech powers you’ll want to get the Angaran Guerilla set. In this guide, we’re going to show you a list of Mass Effect Andromeda best armor, how to get it, what it looks like and its stats.
Note: Each piece of a set has five upgrades. Once you research them all, you can access the advanced versions. Beside the initial research point cost, you’ll need level 40-80 to unlock them all. They mostly add around 1% to the stats of each piece.

Best non-craftable armor sets
One of the most interesting sets that drops from enemies, or is found inside large containers, is called Maverick Deadeye armor. This set offers more spare ammo, more headshot weak point bonuses, etc.
The best starting armor is the Deep Space Explorer set. This outfit is a ME: Andromeda pre-order bonus. It offers +25% encounter XP and +5% weapon damage. The helmet is so beautiful that you’ll want it on during the cutscenes.
Scavanger Armor is one of the Super Deluxe Edition bonuses. This set is great for earning more credits. It offers +10% sell prices, +25% max ammo and -25% weapon weight.
Maverick armour was possible to craft, with all inherent bonuses, until the last patch. It was only possible to do so at the research terminal on Kadara. But no more since the patch 🙁
I love my modded Maverick VII chest piece with all it’s crafting bonuses, it’s better than Maverick X without.
