I’ve played Mass Effect: Andromeda multiplayer, but my data isn’t showing up in the app. What do I do?
First, check that you’re signed in to the app using the same account you’re logged into in-game. To see which account you’re using for the game, simply open the game’s Settings menu, then go to ‘Online’ and select ‘View EA Account Email.’
If you’ve confirmed you’re using the same account to log in to the app and still don’t see your multiplayer data, please contact EA Help.

Can I use the app while I’m playing multiplayer?
Unfortunately not. If you attempt to use the app while you’re signed in to Mass Effect: Andromeda multiplayer or singleplayer, you won’t be able to use the app during that time. We recommended you make any in-app changes prior to loading up the game. Please note that it may take up to 12 minutes for the app to register that you’ve exited Mass Effect: Andromeda.
I have feedback on the app, how can I tell you about it?
You can let us know instantly by pressing the ‘Submit Feedback’ link on the home screen, or by going to the ‘Support’ link on the Profile page. You can use this to report bugs, or just tell us what you think. As part of your feedback, you can attach multiple screenshots, and even draw on them to highlight specific areas.
The app isn’t available on my platform of choice. Will you expand beyond iOS and Android?
Right now, the app is only available on iOS and Android mobile devices. We don’t have plans to expand that – yet. However, we always pay attention to feedback, so let us know if you’d like to see APEX HQ on another platform. You never know what the future may hold!
I’m on Xbox and I set my preferences to receive notifications, but I’m not seeing any. What’s happening?
This is another issue that we’re working hard on a fix for. Stay tuned for future updates, and be sure to check out upcoming release notes.
Do Strike Team traits actually increase or decrease the success of a mission?
Traits are a property of a team that will affect your success chance on a mission with a corresponding property. Some traits are generic, and will affect your success of every mission, but the more powerful traits will only affect specific missions. For example, the “Nighttime Operator” trait will increase your success chance on a mission that is a “Nighttime Mission”, while the “Lucky” trait will increase your success chance on all missions. Positive traits increase your teams chances to succeed on missions, while negative traits decrease your teams chances of success.
Teams will gain positive traits as they level up while they can gain negative traits for critically failing missions.
My Strike Team mission was successful! Where can I collect my rewards in-game?
Congratulations! You can collect your single player Pathfinder rewards at the Strike Teams terminal on the Tempest, or at Militia HQ on the Nexus.
Why aren’t the packs I’ve earned from playing Strike Teams showing up in my unclaimed rewards widget on the home screen?
This is because the packs you earn from completing Strike Teams in-app are Pathfinder (single player) rewards. The unclaimed rewards widget only displays multi player rewards, so if you earn packs from playing multiplayer and don’t open them right away, those will appear as unclaimed rewards.
I’m on Android, and the login button is missing when I open the app. How can I sign in?
First, check to see if Chrome on your phone is updated to the latest version. If it’s not, please update it. You should also check your phone’s Android System WebView app and update it if it’s not current. Once you’ve done that, clear APEX HQ’s data (instructions here) and restart it.
If that still hasn’t resolved the issue, please contact us on Twitter.
I’m playing on Xbox and the app is telling me I need to adjust my privacy settings. How do I change this?
If you’re receiving this message upon login to APEX HQ, you’ll have to sign in to your Xbox and change your privacy settings. You can find instructions on how to do this here. We recommend you set your Xbox privacy to Adult Defaults.
If your privacy settings are correct and you are still seeing this message, log into the game and then check the app after you’ve quit Mass Effect: Andromeda. The settings should then appear to have taken effect.
I’m on iOS, and I can’t log in because I keep getting a ‘too many redirects’ error. How do I get around this?
To fix this issue, there are a few things you can try:
- Ensure private browsing in Safari is turned off.
- Go to Settings>Safari>Block Cookies and if cookies are set to ‘Always Block,’ please change this to another setting.
- Go to Settings>Safari>Advanced>Website Data and hit ‘Remove All Website Data.’ You may need to restart your phone for these changes to take effect.
If none of those steps resolve the issue, you can also try turning off the pop-up blocker setting for Safari, or turning on ‘Do Not Track.’
I’m on iOS and I have to re-enter my information to log in every time. Why?
This issue has been fixed with version 1.1. However, if you have updated to this version and are still prompted to log in each time, please ensure that your Safari browser is not in private browsing mode. You should also make sure that you’ve checked off ‘Remember me’ on the sign in screen.
I’ve tried some troubleshooting steps and the app still isn’t working. What do I do?
Please give the following a try:
- Make sure the app is updated to the latest version.
- Ensure your OS is updated to the latest version (where applicable).
- Restart the app.
- Restart your phone.
- Sign out and back in with a different EA account, if possible.
If you’ve done these steps and are still having trouble, please reach out to us on Twitter.
If you encounter a bug or other issue while using the app, please check this list before letting us know. Anything called out below is something we’re aware of and working hard on a fix for. Stay tuned to future updates of the app to see these resolved:

The Strike Team Console gives Ryder access to APEXstrike teams, strike team missions, and mission rewards.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Access is granted to the console by talking to Tiran Kandros during First Strike.
There are three screens on the console, Teams, Missions, and Pathfinder Rewards. Mission funds are shown in the upper right, regardless of the screen. Using the console brings up the Missions screen.
Locations[edit | edit source]
There are two consoles, one in the Militia Office on the Nexus, the other in the Research Room on the Tempest.

Tempest - Research Room
Missions[edit | edit source]
Missions are listed on the left. Mission difficulty is indicated by a color coded icon - Bronze , Silver , or Gold . New missions are tagged with the new item icon , those in progress are tagged with a clock , and completed missions are tagged with a check box . On the right is the description of the highlighted mission: status, time required, expiration information, mission brief, traits, and rewards.
APEX missions are indicated by an APEX icon in the center of a mission icon - Bronze , Silver , or Gold . (Platinum missions do not appear on the strike team console; they are only available through the Custom Match screen in Multiplayer.) When an APEX mission is highlighted, there is an option at the bottom to view details pertaining to the multiplayer form of the match. That screen will give the map in use, the difficulty, the enemy type, and the modifiers associated with the mission.
The central image sums up the mission: team dispatched, difficulty, enemy, and status. In the event that there are no missions available, the missions screen will be empty.
Selecting an APEX mission and choosing Play in Multiplayer switches the game to multiplayer and loads the custom match screen for that mission.
Teams[edit | edit source]
The Teams screen lists the teams on the left, with the highlighted team's information on the right: level, XP to next level (below level 20), traits, and equipment. Teams currently deployed are greyed out and tagged with a clock . The central image shows team deployment status and equipment, if any.

Sierra, no equipment

If there are fewer than six teams, Ryder may recruit a new strike team. Cost depends on how many teams are currently active. Teams can be equipped or retired from this screen.
Rewards[edit | edit source]
The Rewards screen lists all pathfinder rewards. Credit, Item, and Material loot boxes are awarded as Bronze , Silver , or Gold based upon mission difficulty. These rewards are shown stacked by type and difficulty. Research Data Loot Boxes are shown in a blue box and are stacked as a single item . As with resource inventory, the quantity in the stack is shown in parentheses. There is a limit of two hundred items. A message will pop up when that limit has been reached, warning Ryder to collect rewards before embarking on another mission. Claiming all rewards at once will pop up a message about multiple rewards being collected.
Because certain strike team missions can be played in both singleplayer and in multiplayer at the same time, there is the possibility to start a mission using the Strike Team Console in singleplayer gameplay but complete the mission in multiplayer before the singleplayer timer is up. In overlapping instances such as this, the loot boxes and mission fund rewards will be given immediately during multiplayer. Accessing the strike team console in singleplayer after the timer expires and collecting the reward will only reward XP for the strike team.

Notes[edit | edit source]
It is important to understand that strike teams belong to an overall account, not a specific Ryder.
Strike Teams
- Any Ryder linked to the overall account can command the teams or redeem the rewards, as long as they have been authorized via the mission First Strike.
- The overall account is limited to six strike teams and two hundred loot boxes.
- While the teams and loot boxes are limited because they are all tied together, this also means one Ryder can send out the teams and a different Ryder can claim the rewards. This is an excellent strategy to transfer a large amount of rewards from a veteran Ryder to a brand new Ryder. This gives the new Ryder an edge at the beginning of the game when levels are low and credits, resources, research data, and items not normally available can be acquired from loot boxes.
