New Game + Questions

Yes, you can. I'm in a game+ of a game+ And I will say it improves dramatically because you keep you're weapons and upgrades...and know what to avoid in terms of tedium.  I'm like level 92 right now and enemies/difficulty is scaling (on insanity at any rate).

Yeah, the bulletdrop thing is a sad one.

Modern rifles have mostly negligible bullet drop up to 200, 300 meters (which is where assault rifles are often rated as "point" accuracy, rather than "area") and they're hardly as fast as mass accelerators. I'd assume the bullet drop would be minimal up to five or six hundred meters. But gameplay once again wins over lore, which is why shields can take shitload of hits, even on Insanity, but are pierced by a single good shot in cutscenes. Difference between gameplay and lore.

I tell myself that the projectile is burning up on the way to its target, given its tiny size.   There's no way something traveling with relativistic speed is going to drop within ME combat ranges. As you say, gameplay has to take priority, at times.

Seeing as it's a NG+ thread, can I get a standard "what carries over and what doesn't" answer in here please? Save me from searching.

Thanks in advance.

All of your gear, skills, credits, etc.. transfer. AVP does not, so be prepared to lose those progress-based perks. (Trim your inventory below 40 items before importing, for instance; and watch those unattenuated negative traits on Remnant Fusion Augmentations.)

Both siblings import, and you can swap, edit, etc... from that point. I thought that was good, in case someone wanted to play their exact twins, but switch the gender. (There's always ME Archives, of course.)

Nomad upgrades carry over, just like other gear. I was curious to see if this happened. I was pleased, since the Nomad is kind of wimpy until fully upgraded.

I can't think of anything else to mention, at the moment. Ask if I've left out anything you were concerned about, and I'll elaborate.

Do we also get to keep our minerals? I have a lot of those and I don't feel like grinding for them again right away.

If you did movie night on first playthrough - get prepared for bugs. The items you buy for movie night also transfer for some reason and you will be getting late-game conversations auto-completing the various Movie Night quest stages very early on after u get the Tempest. The final thing *should* still work but yeah, it's bugs galore with transferring items that the game recognizes as completing requirements to trigger new Movie Night stages.

Also, if you managed to avoid Nomad Shields quest bug on first playthrough - get ready to get the bug this time cause all Nomad upgrades transfer and you won't be able to complete the quest from Journal.

Thanks, for the info. I wanted to do a New Game + tonight, but I think I'll wait for the update to role out first.

Squadmate skills carryover as well, all the points, however, the lvl 6 skills, even if filled in, are locked until the LMs are finished.

It certainly looks that way, but my companions still use their Tier-6 evolutions. It's easy to validate, since Drack, Cora and Vetra have elemental ammo. I'm afraid if I were to reset their training, though, it would lock the evos once more.

Do you get the deluxe edition and the special initiative helmet again?

I unfortunately deleted mine to free up space thinking I could pick them up again later.

My "Movie Night" quest carried over so now I have two of them active in various stages.
