Mass Effect: Andromeda has had a rocky launch since the game released last week, with a number of bugs and glitches plaguing gamers’ experiences. Another bug has now surfaced though that is sure to frustrate those gamers who strive for 100% completion.
The bug, dubbed the “shield bug”, prevents players from completing the game 100% by breaking the “Nomad Shield Crafting” task. The bug makes it impossible to complete the task, which as a result blocks gamers from being able to achieve 100% completion.
It was spotted and shared around by several gamers who posted screenshots of the bug after they came across it while trying to 100% Andromeda.

As a result, Andromeda Producer Michael Gamble has been made aware of the bug and responded on Twitter asking what the bug was.
@MLGOsiris what’s the shield bug?!

As Gamble is now aware of the bug, hopefully BioWare will be able to resolve it before too long and allow gamers to finally achieve the 100% completion achievement. Although, it appears to be impossible to fully complete the game until the “shield bug” has been squashed.
