In Mass Effect 3 multiplayer store, you get to purchase various packs at different prices. For instance, the Spectre Pack gives you at least one Rare item out of the 5 random items that you receive.

My question is, how can I tell which weapon is rare, which is uncommon and which is common? Essentially if I want a specific weapon, knowing its rarity allows me to decide which pack to stick to buying.

  • Dude.. that is fantastic! Apr 13, 2012 at 7:22
  • @JamesJiao I left out the N7 weapons though, because the only way to get them is from weekend events where you are guaranteed one of them in the crate. Apr 15, 2012 at 3:24
  • I believe that you left off the ultra rare geth spitfire assault rifle.

When you open a pack, the item cards themselves show their rarity based on the color of the edge of the card.

enter image description here

The Drell Vanguard is a rare, and so is gold.

Silver means uncommon, and Black with an N7 logo means "Ultra Rare".

  • I think my answer is more geared towards the unknown. How would one know whether an item is a rare if he's never seen it before? Apr 13, 2012 at 2:01
  • @JamesJiao How would you see an item without seeing its item card? Apr 13, 2012 at 2:46
  • No I mean, if I want the Mattock, but I haven't unlocked it yet. So I have no idea whether it's rare or uncommon beforehand. If it's rare, I'd buy the Spectre Pack; if it's uncommon, then I'd buy the Veteran Pack, which is 3x cheaper and gives me a guaranteed uncommon every time. Essentially I am looking for the fastest route to get what I want in terms of which pack to buy in the store. Apr 13, 2012 at 7:19
