Mass Effect: Andromeda has been out for less than a week and BioWare has already released a minor content update for its multiplayer component.
According to a press release from BioWare, the content update includes the new limited-time APEX mission “Drack’s Missing Scouts,” which is a Bronze tier mission that pits players against hostile Kett forces on the Firebase Paradox map.
Successfully completing the Drack’s Missing Scouts mission will award bonus Mission Funds and XP.
