Science Pods
Best Cryo Pods in Mass Effect: Andromeda
Science Pods focus on research and development, so these are a great focus for players who like to craft a lot. It will require a lot of attention on Havari if you want to unlock all of the Cryo Pods in this category, as the final perk requires 90% Viability on the planet, but it is very useful for master craftsmen.
Lab Technicians – This is a must in order to get some of the better perks, but it also grants you some research points regularly, which helps eliminate the constant need to scan which can sometimes break the flow of the game.
Mining Operations – You’ll receive a random selection of minerals every 45 minutes. The best part about this perk is that you will sometimes get some rare minerals which really helps with the crafting of some of the best gear.
Innovation – Unfortunately, this skill will cost you three points in total since you’ll need both Improved Development pods open. Those increase the amount of research you get per scan, but really aren’t all that necessary if you’re going to be playing the game a ton and have Lab Technicians. Still, getting them, alongside 90% viability on Havari, allows you to unlock the Innovation perk which adds an extra augmentation slot on all projects. Extra augment slots mean you can further fine-tune what your new weapon or armor comes out like. Beams with tech recharge and extra damage against shields? Perfect.
