Here's how to catch your own space mouse pet in Mass Effect: Andromeda
Not sure if you're sold on your new squadmates in Mass Effect: Andromeda yet? Go for a pet instead. There's at least one companion available in the game that everyone should have an easy time falling in love with: an adorable lil' mouse. You have to follow a specific sequence to cross paths with your soon-to-be rodent buddy, so check out our video guide below. Beware, this video does include minor spoilers.
If you can't watch right now, here's how to get started: first, you'll need to discover the location of the game's "big bad". Then talk to your krogan buddy Drack a few times, and he'll eventually note that someone - or something - has been munching on the Tempest's food supply. Tell him you'll track down the culprit and follow these steps:
- Turn on your scanner and follow the tracks from the counter down into the cargo bay
- Build a "humane trap" at the research and development station
- Deploy the trap, then complete a mission
- Come back and find your furry little stowaway in the trap
Make sure you read the rest of our Mass Effect: Andromeda tips so you don't miss out on other surprises (rodent related or otherwise), and check out our full Mass Effect: Andromeda review.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
