The Mass Effect series never included crafting as a big component, but that’s about to change. Not only do you get to create weapons in Mass Effect: Andromeda, but apparently you can also name them.
Lead Designer Ian Frazier teased on Twitter by announcing that the game allows players to craft their own Krogan-styled hammer and name it GRABTHAR’S HAMMER. To that, senior designer replies that he created his own assault rifle and called it FAST, and a sniper rifle which he decided to call FURIOUS. Why do devs have all the fun?
@tibermoon Today in my in-progress playthrough I made an Assault Rifle named FAST and a Sniper Rifle named FURIOUS.

That’s not all. When asked whether the game will also have more melee weapons, Frazier replies that there’s actually a dedicate melee weapon slot, in addition to the upgradable omni-blade with which players will start out initially.
@konradkurze202 @bigking123 There’s a dedicated melee weapon slot. The omni-blade you start with is just one (though you can upgrade it).
