    I've been buying spectre packs pretty much since release and have had my weapon mods maxed for some time

    whereas folks who are buying a lot of recruit/veteran packs still have some gaps to fill in

    are recruit/veteran packs guaranteed to have weapon mods because I remember most spectre packs did

    remember how it seemed easy at first but then everyone else is useless or makes mistakes and you have to cut back on expectations

    ambient dialogue spoiler
    the PTSD asari in the hospital killed his sister

    the asari only names her once or twice and it may have been deep in the conversation line but i dont remember
    Oh fuck.

    I went all the way through that ambient dialogue because a friend pointed out how good it was, but I had long forgotten the details of the farm girl.

    Goddamn.
    She also almost definitely killed his dad. Everyone but Gunny at the farm was indoctrinated, and she ripped them to shreds with her biotics.

    Man, for the only guy guaranteed to live through the series, Joker really goes through the ringer.

    La la la la, not listening.

    if shepard hears the ptsd dialogue after joker talks about his sister and family

    there is no way for shepard to tell joker his family is dead

    God damn Marauder Shields is a dick on Insanity. Must've spent 30 minutes trying to line up headshots so I could get my Insanity achievement.

    Rest of the game is pretty good at that level of difficulty, though.

    Also I must've run into a bug or something on that last scene, since Javik stepped out of the Normandy and I'd only used him like once. Isn't it supposed to be Joker+LI+most used character(+EDI when green)?

    I'm providing ambience.

    Without making the connection, it can be an accident. Figuring it will make her feel safe or something.

    So I've been pretty much buying only Spectre packs since the beginning, but I was thinking about it and think I've been making a mistake and should be going for Recruit packs instead. The big reason being weapon mods - almost every recruit pack has one, they're all Common. While Spectre packs...also have just one. So I could get 1 from Spectre or 12 from Recruit. You also get a ton more expendables that way.

    I mean, at some point I'll have to go back to level up my rare weapons, but I think I'm just getting tired of saving up for some shitty 'rare' shotgun or 100k XP for a class I already have at 20. Anyone else been buying cheap?

    not all weapon mods are common

    but you should still do this because for the cost of one spectre pack you can probably upgrade every one of the five basic weapons and get them out of the hat

    and then when you're done you'll have a big pile of equipment and consumables

    this is probably the most useful part, consistently buying anything higher than vet packs means you'll be starved for medigel and ops survival kits super quickly

    I wish there was like

    ultra-rare permanent equipment
    make it the equivalent of level 2 instead of level 3 or something so consumable equipment still has a point
    but the consumable nature of equipment means I am always loathe to use it even when sitting on huge piles of it

    Yea, I've got a ton of most things but medigel are like gold. I only ever use them if it will absolutely make the difference between winning or losing a match...or if I got killed in some really embarrassing way and I don't want to make someone come across the map to pick me up.

    the worst is using ammo bonuses. Like at least if I'm pubbing it and I realize my team is terrible and we're never going to last, at least I won't bother to use my health kits or anything like that, but ammo is consumed no matter how long the match lasts. And you can go through several packs without ever getting the ammo bonus you want, so I just end up never using it unless I'm going into a gold match
