Mass-effect – find in the uncommon and rare item packs

mass-effect-3mass-effect-3-multiplayer

I'm getting destroyed in multiplayer and I'm trying to decide whether or not I should buy some of the cheap 5000 credit packs just so I can hopefully get some new weapons, or if I should save up for one of the rare packs and hope I get something awesome.

However, I have no sense of what kinds of things to expect in the more expensive packs.

  • What types of rare and uncommon items exist?

  • Is there a list somewhere that says which items you can get in the rare and uncommon packs, similar to how a game like Magic: The Gathering has a master list of all the cards in a set?

I need to know what's possible so I can make a better informed decision about how to spend the few credits that I actually manage to scrape together.

There are four rarity levels in Mass Effect 3 multiplayer trading card packs.

  • Blue - Common.
  • Silver - Uncommon
  • Gold - Rare
  • Black - N7 or "Ultra-Rare"

Recruit Packs and Veteran Packs have the same potential items, though Veteran packs have a better chance at Silver and Gold (like the description says). The only way to get N7 items is from Spectre packs.

Here's the full list of what's what:

Classes

Common:

  • Human Vanguard
  • Human Soldier
  • Human Infiltrator
  • Human Engineer
  • Human Adept
  • Human Sentinel

Uncommon:

  • Turian Soldier
  • Turian Sentinel
  • Asari Vanguard
  • Quarian Infiltrator [note: makes Geth weaksauce]
  • Drell Adept
  • Salarian Engineer

Rare:

  • Krogan Soldier
  • Krogan Sentinel
  • Asari Adept
  • Drell Vanguard
  • Quarian Engineer
  • Salarian Infiltrator

Note: Opening a class you already have gives an XP boost and unlocks a new customization option.

Common:

  • M3 Predator (Pistol)
  • M23 Katana (Shotgun)
  • M8 Avenger (Rifle)
  • M92 Mantis (Sniper)

  • M15 Vindicator (Rifle)
  • M97 Viper (Sniper)
  • M29 Incisor (Sniper)
  • M13 Raptor (Sniper?)

  • Black Widow (Sniper)
  • Javelin (Sniper)

There is also one exception: The Collector Assault Rifle, which is a GOLD, but comes with the art book, so it isn't like the other weapons and it doesn't appear in any of the packs.

  • Consumables
  • Some Weapons Mods

Uncommon:

  • Some other Weapon mods

Rare:

  • Respec Kits.
  • consumable quantity increase

You can get weapons up to level 10 (X) and mods up to level 5 (V).
