I want to upgrade it just cause I love the noise it makes. All this time I was just hoping I had gotten unlucky w/ Specter Packs.

So...any PS3 users out there sitting on some extra codes?

That might be so, but we don't know entirely for certain yet. I'm willing to cling to the hope that it can unlock from Spectre packs (or Veteran packs if you're lucky) until proven otherwise, by a BioWare dev or a person who's unlocked everything.

Well, I do have all of the gold weapons and most of the N7 weapons.
The Collector Rifle hasn't come up even once.  The reason you have to unlock it by an exclusive pack is because that is the only way to get it.

This whole issue needs a definitive answer. If the only way you can upgrade the CAR is by promo codes, Bioware has seriously messed up. They should remedy the situation by implementing an additional means of upgrading for those who have redeemed at least 1 code.

Me, but I also own a PC copy:)

It's ok as very, VERY basic newbie gun - I found it pretty useful for the first handful of matches. Get any other AR or SMG upgraded, though, and it's immediately outclassed, and without any additional upgrade codes from DLC promotions, it'll end up languishing at the bottom of your 'weapons barrel' very quickly.

Seems like a waste, IMO - I just hope that it gets added as DLC later on, or even added as a 'regular' multiplayer weapon, since I just don't see that many people forking out for console peripherals and the like just to upgrade a pretty average rifle.

[dcal31]

Agree, it's a cool gun for about the first 5 matches. However, as soon as you upgrade any other weapon to level III or above, it becomes pretty much useless. On a side note, has anyone come across an upgraded one in the game? I saw a level II one once, but that's it. Would be really nice if Bioware would patch it so that you could actually use it later in the game.

For those interested, Darkhorse Comics has a promotion that expires today where you can get a promo code by buying the digital issue 1-4 bundle of ME: Invasion, which is $ 6.99. AFAIK the cheapest way to get a CAR. As far as leveling goes, I agree with the rest - once acquired, you should get a chance to unlock further levels through standard packs. There aren't even enough individual Razer / Dark Horse items to get it anyway near level 10, so you'd have to buy things twice, which is kinda ridiculous.

Bottom Line:

Acquisition: It will not drop in packs. You can only get it as part of a promotion (DLC code). Right now, that's limited to ME3 themed Razer accesories. The Dark Horse Digital promotion expired on March 21. I contacted Game Stop to see if the Onza controller they sell has the code and it does not. So you have to buy the items from Razer directly, I suppose.

I just purchased the controller.  It's wired, but I think in the long run I'll save money on batteries.

I'm hoping that the Homeworld comics will eventually have a deal like the Invasion series.  I got all of the Invasion comics before the game came out and I was still given the deal. 

Impression: Fast rate of fire and very accurate! On the heavy side so you'll most likely only equip it on characters that do not rely on short cool down rates for their powers. My engineer build (lvl 20) can eqiup a level 1 Collector Rifle with a 101% cool down rate. Won't equip it though since I spam Overload. However, I can see equiping it on a soldier or infiltrator (if you're like me and suck with sniper rifles). MAYBE even a Batarian or Turian sentinel since they seem to be able to carry heavier loads with fewer cool down penalties.

Thanks for stopping by...

Damned if you do damned if you don't, some people eh?

Anyway, i have it up to level 6 and whilst it won't cut the mustard on gold, it's still plenty viable on silver. I use it with my BF3 soldier, carnage then finish off with the CAR. I like rapid fire weapons they fit my play style better, on bronze it's great fun. (Notice i use bronze together with fun before someone comments).
I know i suck at this game because i tried a Sabre 2 on bronze and failed badly, yeah i know sabre on bronze, but it's fire rate just wasn't my cup of tea. Would take the CAR anyday.

Just because you prefer fully automatic weapons and can't use the single shot weapons like Saber doesn't mean you suck :innocent: You just haven't figured out how to play the way that suits you on gold.

On topic: It sucks that I can't get mine past 3 because I don't have the money to buy the over priced computer stuff.

[NM_Che56]

I'm hoping that smaller ticket items will get the code. The invasion comic series was 4 comics and I had them anyway. I was also intrigued by the controller and the wire means no batteries.

Maybe the N7 mug will get the code one day...


Full auto can be cool but semi is good too (Mattock)

Ive been trying for the last month, back and forth with EA and Barnes&Nobles trying to get this retarded Collector Assault Rifle code for ME3 multiplayer to work...Anyone ever get this code to actually work?

[Matthias King]

I had the Collector Assault Rifle from day one, via the 'The Art of the Mass Effect Universe' book, and it's still level 1. It would be nice if they would add this to the Gold drops in packs only for those who already have it.

[Kel Riever]

The Razer stuff is literally at rip you off prices. I admit, they made me look. But I wouldn't touch a $35 mouse pad with a 10 foot pole.

Missed out on the Art of Mass Effect Universe book to, as far as I hear. Rumor was that you had to pre-order it. Whoops.... Anyway, again, you'd have to spend like $1000 if you want to get all upgrades and not have to buy the same thing twice.

[Urdnot Trex]

@ Caliga Cursor
if you dont want it please give it to me? please?
im a completionist and i want one so badly!
if anyone has a code they dont want please hit me up!

I have the Collector Rifle and have been playing multiplayer for a lot.  I have most of the weapons at this point. 

The Collector Rifle is a gold level unlock and only comes from a Collector Rifle pack, very similar to the Battlefield 3 pack.



There is absolutely no way to upgrade it unless it is possible to get more of those packs, and the only way I can think of is if the codes from the Razor PC gear stack with the Barnes and Noble codes.

I can back this up. My friend got the Collector Rifle awhile back for pre-ordering from EA origins site (PS3). He still has it at lvl I because the gun isn't added to the pool of random items in packs.

Pretty bad, considering the gun's usefulness depends on it being lvl X. Otherwise, it's too heavy. 

Maybe they'll release the Collector Rifle along with Collector enemy types in the future? Just a possibility.

I got the Collector Rifle for purchasing the Mass Effect comic books through Dark Horse. I have purchased numerous Spectre Packs, opened all the Victory and Commendation packs, and it is still level I. I am 100% sure that I would need to buy from Razer or buy action figures from biowarestore.com to upgrade it.

[Epsilon330]

As a CAR wielder, I can confirm that it is only upgraded via promotions.

Some people actually like to use a quality mousepad instead of the 2$ cheapo pads and for one 35$ isn't even expensive.

A $35 mouse pad is incredibly expensive. We aren't talking pesos, here, but American dollars. As an engineer, I feel totally comfortable saying that the quality of the Razer pad is reflected in somethign selling at half it's cost. Most of the price is likely tied up in licensing fees. Look at the fact that all unlocks are random and can still be purchased with real world currency and you can understand just how much EA wants your money, even if there is little value to you as a consumer.

[Unnamed_Shadow]

technically speaking you can unlock the Collector Assault Rifle on the Single Player by using Gibbed's...but i find it a pretty crap weapon anyways...its not as good as it was on ME 2
